Big Brother - UK Style
by KenUK inwell here we go in the uk - big brother for the next 64 days.... but here i was watching "have i got news for you", the slaughtering of the presenter for being caught with his pants down etc in the wonderful sunday tabloid "news of the world" last weekend, when the 'phone rings.... my ex-wife, (conversation once a year etc etc), on the telephone, saying look at big brother , its spencer... and yes as i turned over... it was spencer... bear with me guys:-).
now i can see spencer knocking on doors and giving talks not many moons ago, prior to and after my d/f... yup, big brother's got (to the best of my knowledge) its first ex jw.... interesting watching (and i enjoy big brother as much as eastenders and corrie...) guess i'll watch now:-).
(spencer, eldest of 3 jw children (surname witheld by me), parents still in the "truth", and regular drinking partners of myself and ex a few years back whilst in the same cong and still only a few miles away..)

The Selfish Gene
by KenUK ini'm sure this book is familiar with some - it wasn't with me until i heard the author today on the radio - stephen dawking.. he was accepting questions on this book and his beliefs in general - he extols pure science and that live evolved from a "soup".
in response to a question on how to respond to people who believed in god (he doesn't - full stop) he stated that the existence of life had nothing to do with god and was produced from this "soup".. he said however he had no response or answer if he was challenged on where the "laws of physics" came from, because any deviation in these laws, no matter how slight, would result in no life.
therefore the laws of physics had to be "just so" to allow life from the "soup".. now that i've lost me on this:-), interested in any comments/observations on this?

Why hang on in there??
by KenUK innot been posting on this board too long, but started my ex jw internet excursion with the philia group back in 1995 (thanx alanf:-)).. not wishing to poke anybody in the eye but i'm curious at those mails i've read where some of you guys are hanging in on there (from where i sit) under the jw tag.
by that i mean you've clearly identified you've not attended meetings, have no intention of going to meetings, maybe (albeit under the jw rules)in a d/a or d/f situation, but laying low.. geniunely interested in why - i got d/f by banging on the elders door (metaphysically speaking) and sitting through a judicial to get out properly.. maybe 33 years as jw straight off (18 years under hillary step formula:-))skewed my thinking, but just curious....
