good luck for friday simon,
they coming to yours and are you going to make sure you've got a houseful of friends? :-)
another lie told to the media/public on the jw-medai site.. do you shun former members?.
those who simply cease to be involved in the faith are not shunned.
in compliance with the scriptures, however, members can be expelled for serious unchristian conduct, such as stealing, drunkenness, or adultery, if they do not repent and cease such actions.

two jw's knocked on my door peddling the watchtower and awake.
i was still in my satin pj's and had a tiara stuck on my head as i was playing make believe with my five year old.
i forgot i had it on, and they didn't seem to find that strange, lol.
TW, my mum used to get the pin prick eye wiggle which used to be my warning that she was going off on one with the wooden spoon (thought she was demonised when that happened) I'd heard about the cult conditioning signs and that you could trigger a reaction on a list I was on, but was sceptical till I saw it for myself,
was pretty cool to see it first hand,

for years I found the I'm dissed worked a treat and would have them tripping over their bags on their way back up the path, but one day it backfired cos after the first two had scuttled another two elders turned up asking me if I'd like to return,
the last visit I had was an elder carrying a letter asking me if I'd like to return, so I told him someone had been asking about him onthe internet, (wasnt fibbing either)
I got to see first hand the fixed stare glazed eye thing, I was impressed. havent had any turn up since I moved here yet,

i`ve just read a post on h20 by "dmouse" re the circuit assembly at dudley, england.
apparently there were only 3 baptised there this weekend, but that is not what intrigues me; my devious apostate mind (hee hee) sees another way of making some luvverly lolly!.
it`s all to do with the feeding arrangements.
there you go zev,
Serves 4
Lambs' kidneys - 8, cored and diced
Plain flour - 1 tbsp
Salt and cayenne pepper
Mustard powder - 2 tbsp
Butter - 50g (2 oz)
Worcestershire sauce - 2 tsp
Chicken stock - 150 ml (ΒΌ pint)
Hot buttered toast - 4 pieces
Dust the kidneys with flour, salt and plenty of cayenne pepper. Roll them in the mustard powder.
Melt the butter in a small frying pan and cook the kidneys over a gentle heat for 5 minutes, turning them over now and again. They should be just pink inside.
When they are almost done to your liking, pour the Worcestershire sauce and the stock around them and simmer until the gravy is thick. Serve them on hot buttered toast.

well I'd say you could sell swimming costumes as a sideline but there probably wouldnt be much call for those,
and veggie burgers? what about cow burgers for the jws whose consciences allow them to partake of that fraction of the cow?
of course it would have to be non smoking but you could have someone walking up and down the path with a sandwhich board to advertise your end of days prices to make them feel at home

i`ve had a few inquiries re my elder pal, otherwise known as the "dub in the pub".. just to recap: i like to spend my final hour of the day relaxing over a few beers in my local pub.
we`re a pretty fun lovin` bunch and the repartee flows thick and fast.. we`re only a few miles from the border with wales, so most of us have inherited the welsh habit of tacking someones occupation or hobby on the end of a persons name.
it works like this: i have a pint with roy the guinness, chat to dave the taxi, play dominoes with pete the paint, who always beats me, mike the windows.
perhaps its not you he's been told to stay away from, maybe he's been told to stay away from the pub, can remember the elders coming round to lecture my dad about his drinking habits every so often, think it was after him and mum had had an argument or someone passed comment on his frequency to the locals.
