  "of course not- we want to eat from clean dishes!

  dishes that have been cleaned thoroughly inside and out.

  " we have to be sure the things entering our minds are clean... rejecting exciting fun stuff that features sex.

  I'd prefer using dirty dishes over being given 2,000 year old food rehashed into something that was never meant to be. I'm sure I could find two witnesses to testify to that.

  Thanks for that snippet from his speech GoneAwol, for those that don't always click on links I'll transcribe it here
  
  

  While we cannot control everything that an individual might say, it is clear that over the decades it’s protecting children from abuse that is a top priority for this organization.
  
  We are proud of our reputation in this regard and we look forward to the time in God’s New World when...

  
  Really, they can't control everything what individuals say. Is he talking about the Elders who admitted at the RC that they had proven to be inadequate in this area? He might like to offer himself up at the next hearing so that he can tell the Commission himself how good they are.
  
  Then he announces that they are proud of their reputation. Is this their reputation amongst JWs only because they have a bad reputation in the Courts, media and in Society.

  A Believer - Instead of claiming you're 2 year old is a liar, a group should be gathered with you their, and see if she will still say it.
  
  I'm no child expert but I question whether this is a good approach.
  
  Pale.emporer knows whether his daughter is telling the truth or not. It's highly unlikely that the child just made this up and then told her mum. More likely, is the ex made it up and claimed their daughter told her.
  
  Putting a 2 year old in the middle of this is not appropriate and it's even more wrong to put a young child in front of a group and ask her to repeat something that her mother is claiming and the child, in reality, does not know to be evident when she visits. How confusing for the child.

  That was good Paul and thanks for sharing.

  You've got the beginnings of a great stage presence. I can see you are nervous, more so during the first half and practice will help overcome that. It comes as no surprise that even the best comedians repeat their show over and over, just with a new audience.

  Just trying to tell a joke to a group of friends is really hard. In comparison you have done an amazing job. You're onto something and have the talent.

  I loved the part where the audience was laughing at who knows what and you said you must be better than you thought.

  We were getting weekly calls from the Microsoft scammers, we couldn't get rid of them.

  We had a call from India, saying our Internet was going to be cut off in 2 hours. I had fun with that call telling them I was happy about that as I'd been trying to get it disconnected for ages. They were so confused and still trying to convince me that I had a problem. They haven't called back since.

  Then there were some calls from India wanting to speak to the person in our household who had had a car accident within the last two years. We kept saying that no one has and continued to get weekly calls. A few weeks ago I played along but since he claimed he was calling from my local area, I asked for his name and address and said I would visit him personally to file the claim. It was a bogus address of course but they still had the gall to call me the next week. So I thanked him very much for urging me to make an insurance claim and I had now done so. He apologised for calling and I haven't had another call.

  Correct, once that newly interested person walks into a Kingdom Hall they require love bombing. The dfd person is a life threatening danger.

  That made me laugh Cold Steel. I wonder if an anti Christmas cartoon is in the pipelines, also a Birthday one, surely they hold priority since it's an issue they have to deal with constantly. They have a big affect on a child's life.

  The problem is, how do you go about making such a video without embarrassment or media attention? I guess it was easier to make the two mums video.

  Then there's always an anti blood video, or the flag/anthem issue. It would make it so much easier for child custody battles.

  Since you know that young children believe that Caleb and Sophie are real, with Morris openly admitting that one child thought he was their grandfather, what are you going to do about that deception?
