I'll just say that I'm a born-and-bred Londoner and my heart will always be there no matter where I am or where I may end up.

What am I feeling for her?
by Kingpawn inthis is going to be a little rambling but i hope it makes sense.
i won't use names out of privacy concerns, but it's as true as i can make it.. where i work, i've begun developing very strong feelings for a co-worker.
her shift and mine overlap for a few hours each day, and i see her when one of her duties brings her to my area of the plant (otherwise we work in separate areas).

KP, I can see you have a very strong protective instinct raging inside you, I completely recognise that because I've been there too. It's good that you're like that, it shows that you're a decent guy, and decent guys seem to be getting rarer these days judging by the way that many of the women I know are being treated by their partners (especially in the troof!).
The good thing about being older is that you can examine and identify your emotions, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you can control them. I'm in my thirties and I'm just as much an emotional time bomb as far as women are concerned as any hormonal teenager! You have to take a step back and examine yourself and make sure you are not going into this for the wrong reasons.
Pettygrudger was right, talk to her! A faint heart never won a fair lady as they say and so you've gotta go for it, or you will regret it deeply for a long time. Just play it cool and don't scare the crap out of her by being too attentive too early on. You have to prepare yourself for this though: Love is a strange emotion, many people love their partners despite their obnoxious behaviour (my mum included) and will stay with them through thick and thin, rejecting nice guys like you and me along the way!

So I went to the Kingdom Hall....
by Vivamus inwe entered fairly early, the elders had decided that since i refused to sit in the back, the family had to arrive first and leave first.
this was to ensure there would be no condolences.
well, the elders did not get their way.

((((((Vivamus))))))
It must have been very odd to go back to that hall after all you've been through since the beginning of the year. Well, I'm very relieved, I was really concerned that the Elders would make a big fuss and cause a scene that would detract from the dignity of the occasion. I guess they saw sense and realised that treating you badly and shunning you at such a traumatic time would be completely counterproductive. They'll be back in their old ways from now on though, I can guarantee that!
You are always in my thoughts hon.

I still attend meetings, but I have been missing quite a few this last month. I haven't been out on the ministry since 29th September and aim to keep it that way.

Hope you get better real soon. I had my bout of flu three weeks ago, there's a lot of it about at the moment.
This is starting to sound just like my typical after-meeting chat!

Larc, although you think I'm talking utter bullshit about IQ tests, I'm sure you will acknowledge that I am certainly not the only person on this planet with this view. I have a huge respect for your opinion here and I will certainly read the information that you have presented.

Consolation didn't start being published by the WTS until October 1937, are you sure that's a kosher quote?

Here are three translations of that scripture, including the one you mentioned. I suppose your point is how easy these scriptures can be applied to the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses? I doubt if they will ever see it though, they would no doubt apply this to "Christendom". They have frequently linked "the truth" to freedom; they use this term very loosely. I was told I was in the "freedom of God" pretty much all the time and never really questioned it. If you tell someone they're free often enough they might believe you eventually I guess, even if they plainly aren't.
Galatians 2:3-6 (NWT)
Nevertheless, not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, although he was a Greek. But because of the false brothers brought in quietly, who sneaked in to spy upon our freedom which we have in union with Christ Jesus, that they might completely enslave us - to these we did not yield by way of submission, no, not for an hour, in order that the truth of the good news might continue with you
.But on the part of those who seemed to be something - whatever sort of men they formerly were makes no difference to me - God does not go by a mans outward appearance - to me, in fact, those outstanding men imparted nothing new.
Galatians 2:3-6 (NIV)
Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek. This matter arose because some false brothers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves. We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might remain with you.
As for those who seemed to be important whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not judge by external appearance those men added nothing to my message.
Galatians 2:3-6 (JBP)
Not one of them intimated that Titus, because he was a Greek, ought to be circumcised. In fact, the suggestion would never have arisen but for the presence of some pseudo-Christians, who wormed their way into our meeting to spy on the liberty we enjoy in Jesus Christ, and then attempted to tie us up with rules and regulations. We did not give those men an inch, for the truth of the Gospel for you and all Gentiles was at stake.
And as far as the leaders of the conference were concerned (I neither know nor care what their exact position was: God is not impressed with a man's office), they had nothing to add to my Gospel.

She's missing her mum, bless her.
These rememberence ceremonies have always been associated with the Queen Mother up to now and I guess that Lizzie is being reminded that mum just aint there anymore.

The Worst Conundrum EVER!
by SYN infolks, this is a bad one.
there's this guy i know, we'll call him placebo for now, as that's his nick online, who i'm pretty good friends with.
he comes to our monthly graphics programmer meetups that we have in johannesburg quite a lot.

Did he name his online nick Placebo after the band? That will tell you a lot about him - not particularly dub approved music I think.
Well, he could be a good friend to you, and as we all know, a friend in need is a friend indeed, but a friend with weed is better!
