  i was listening to beyond belief yesterday, a radio 4 programme that treats religious ideas as worthy of consideration and discussion.

  yesterday they were talking about belief in the afterlife.

  they mentioned something i'd never heard of before.

  Hi Rebel,

  I would add the opposite of knowledge is ignorance......whether through choice or circumstances.

  The opposite of love is indifference. Hate is a destructive emotion.

  You didn't deserve "bollocks" as a response.

  I wouldn't like any association with WBTS on my grave stone. 32yrs association was enough thank you very much.

  Hi Diogenesister, not been on for a while. I was in Biggleswade from 1987 to 1989. The Linnels are the only family I remember, oh and the French's. One family lived in Potton, the other in Wrestlingworth.

  I have no issues with perfume per se. But, I understand and recognise this as an increasing ailment. How many years was it mentioned in KM before a CA. Ok I accept my previous post was harsh, but I was under the influence of 2/3 brandies, and I was having a silent rant about the emergence of a new breed of jw. Especially amongst the mid 20/30's. They have an air of arrogance about them. Maybe it's the increase of tv of shows like " the only way is essex, geordie wives and another one with Chelsea in the title". You might not be familiar with them. Popular amongst this age group in the UK. Present company excluded.

  Recently one such character who has no life experiences caused me to bury my head in my hands with embarrassment. My son-in-law, who is a 3x vet of the Afghan conflict asked him a question about cave paintings found in France believed to pre-date the WBTS's teachings regarding human history. His answer " lies, Satan's lies" I'm like wtf!.
