British And American Intercourse.
by Englishman inok, america, this is it.
you have got to start learning english english at some point or another, after all, us brits are having to learn american english to be able to understand all those films (movies) about how you saved our arses (butts) during the 1939 -1945 (1941 - 1945) war.. now we all know the obvious ones, such as you calling a car bonnet the hood, the boot is the trunk and a spanner being a wrench etc etc.
plus the fact that you eat fries instead of chips and spread mayo instead of butter.

HELP!!- JT asked to become a MASON!
by JT ini have been searching the net for some excellent sites on the masons.
this past weekend we went down to nc for a wedding and my wife and i broke the news to our nonjw family that we were no longer involved with jw.
i could not believe the open arm welcome my uncle and aunt were almost in tears- they told us we have seen you come home each yr from the main office in ny and then you got married and you would come home and we wanted to say something about the jw but you seemed to be so well respected by the local jw - whenever we would tell folks that our newphew was up in ny- the jw would get all excited- they told us they thought it was so sad for i only made $90 a month.

has it been mentioned already? mormonism grew out of masons after joseph smithlearned their secrets. the rituals in the mormon temple are based on masons rituals — particularly before the rituals were revised in 1990.

The Press - Friend or Foe
by Kismet inwhile at bethel as well in a couple of the secular jobs i have held subsequent to leaving 'da big house' i have had opportunity to interact with the press, written and televised.. i have come to appreciate that the press in all it's forms and incarnations can be a very valuable tool but like any power tool if misused or left alone it can run amuck.
for example, you wouldn't believe some of the misquotes and half sentences used during the y2k frenzy!!!
(most of the ones pick up by youknow are examples of these).

always remeber that while some journalists are caring and only interested in the truth, the editors (and the newspaper's policy) often isn't.
spinning stories to fit their niche-market is what counts to them, because the type of stories they want are demanded by their public. sales, advertising. money. careful as you go . . . -

English 50's+ Are Supermen!
by Englishman inaccording to my dentist - a pert little blond in her 20's - uk 50's plus are regarded as being amongst the healthiest people in the world.. born shortly after the end of ww2 hostilities, uk 50+'s grew up in an environment that didn't see a complete end to food rationing until 1954.. in a nutshell, my generation were brought up on a very plain diet that included lots of green vegetables, little red meat and lots of fish.
as part of a drive to rid the uk of its reputation for rickets and bad teeth, the national health service provided free cod liver oil, free milk, free orange juice and free vyrol - a malt and yeast extract - to all kids of my age.
sweets, crisps and junk food just weren't available.. hence this is the reason why your average 50's+ englishman is such a dashing and virile fellow.. englishman.. ..... fanaticism masquerading beneath a cloak of reasoned logic.
