every time i hear the following song by elton john, i have to pull over and shed a tear or two or twenty and think of all the other people like me who lost a brother whose name was daniel.... my brother daniel would have turned 40 today august 6 (southern hemisphere time).. i sadly lost daniel when i was 5 and he was 4 .... i still have vivid memories and photographs, yet sadly due to the religion that is called the jehovahs witnesses have not yet fully grieved or coped with my younger brothers death in a road accident.

i have never spoken to anyone outside my family about daniels death as i was raised up with the view that as a young person i would witness any day now the resurrection of my dear little brother.

not a week goes by when i do not visit his gravesite at fawkner cemetary looking for closure or the fact that i may never see him in the new system.

(Though the French version Mattieu sounds much sexier....)

yup it does

Should guys who are balding just shave it off?

by serenitynow! in

i think a balding man has 2 options- 1. hair club for men 2. shave it.. balding men- not hot; bald- hot; bald with goatee- extremely hot!.

what do you think ladies?.

ohbejoyful, just what he called it.....no idea what brand it was but it was a jar of either green or clear sticky gel stuff that dried solid,

my dad would call his brylcream and aftershave ohbejoyful too.

perhaps it made them feel 'speshul' when they used it?

retyping the bit that got wiped when i hit the send button.

religion aspect aside, its just a chip pan fire story.

its nice he knew how to deal with a chip pan fire, its basic common sense not to leave pans of hot fat unattended.

the rest of the story sounds like extra bad luck or an insurance bump, but that could just be the way its worded in the report and its sometimes human nature to make the most of a bad situation

A horror weekend for a Tauranga family saw them become victims of both a house fire and a burglary within hours.

Initial investigations into the fire suggested a Jehovah's Witness man walking past the family's Fraser St, Merivale, house about 2.15pm on Saturday noticed the smoke, broke in and put it out.

However, that information, which was supplied to the Bay of Plenty Times, was later found to be incorrect.

Jo Hukatai, who lives at the house, said she and her three children, aged 10, 12 and 15, were at home when the fire broke out.

The family was doing their weekly bible study with Bjorn and Kelly Morgan.

Mrs Hukatai was preparing lunch for the group and had put a pot of oil on the stove to cook chicken nuggets.

She then moved to the bedroom, where she was when she heard Brother Morgan calling to her.

"He came down the passageway and he said, 'Jo, there's smoke'.

"When he stood there I could see the orange on his face, he went over to the oven and switched it off at the mains," she said.

By the time the pair left the kitchen, Mrs Hukatai said the smoke was so thick she could not see Mr Morgan from the waist up. "He just said 'get everybody out'."

Mr Morgan grabbed a towel, which was being used as a draught-stop in the house, to smother the blaze.

Mrs Hukatai called 111 before following her children and Mr and Mrs Morgan outside.

Mrs Hukatai said her children were most concerned about their cat, which Mr Morgan went back inside to rescue.

the jw aspect aside, cos its just a chip pan fire turned into a bit of sensationalism.

its nice he had the sense to know how to deal with a chip pan fire. but its also common sense not to leave pans of hot fat unattended in the first place.

the rest reads like extra bad luck or an insurance bump. but that could just be the way its worded in the reporting, and sometimes its human nature to make the best of a bad situation.

As a JW kid, did you wish you could join the girl guides/scouts?

by highdose in

jw

also known as cubs and brownies i belive.

i always wanted to join them when i was a child.

i had freinds at school who were in and loved hearing the tales of what they got up to.

nelly136

my mum used go on about the brownies and guides and tell me what i was missing and what a shame jws didnt allow it, but i cant say it really apealed.

i was allowed to join the swimming club and trained to both stamina/speed competing standard, but not to actually compete cos that would be worldly and clash with meetings.

Have You Ever Wondered If Someone You Knew Was On Here?

that would be somethin'!.

nelly136

i've found at least 7 people from ashford not including wob and someone else who comes from surrounding areas, so i can only guess theres a high discontent level around these parts.

(not all on this board and they know others who are also out or keeping their heads down cos they dont want to be jws but dont want the hassle of leaving)

it also seems that quite a few of the kids are playing it smart and going through the motions cos theyve got a great social club going on amongst themselves and the jw stuff is just a neccesary evil for the time being.

nelly136

well its up to them really and i guess it can have to do with culture fashion etc

tv and adverts for years have pushed the full head of hair look as being manly to sell products,

my grandad used to do comb over, he had a pot of 'ohbejoyful' in the bathroom to stick it down and every time the wind blew it was like a yacht sail had gone up, soon as he shaved it off it look way cooler.

the yul brinners and telly savalas were quite a novelty back then. (but by 'eck they looked good)

theres something about the bouncer look that is just.....mmmmm

hell it even makes john travolta look apealing in a rufty tufty sorta way.

men who have a full mop of hair sometimes look just as good if not better with it graded or gone.
