We have to remember that once we're in the dubbies, every moment of every day is pretty well mapped out for us by the WT society.There's no choices. We were told how we had to behave. Witnesses are obsessed by behaviour, even to the extent of how we were to dance, what clothes we could wear, who we could associate with, who we could marry, what we could eat, what entertainment was acceptable, how much time we spent associating, the list goes on and on. Little wonder that when a born-in leaves the JW's, he often goes off the rails. There is no inner sense of morality as all so called morals are those that have been drummed in, no normal gradual maturation has been allowed to take place. Leaving is a hard and painful road, not, IMHO, dissimilar to that of drug addict struggling to kick the habit.

You have to hand to people like F Franz of the Watchtower for he was truly a prolific sensationalist with information. It should be realized he was also a key player within the writing department of the Watchtower Corporation .
Whenever I think of Fred Franz, and I heard him speak several times, I'm reminded of a certain Minister of Propaganda. He didn't look too different either..

IF it quacks like a duck ...? WHAT IS IT?
by Terry ina question: "what does identity mean?
" if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck have feathers like a duck: it is a __?___.
hans christian anderson taught us this lesson in the famous story of "the ugly duckling" (**spoiler alert**) the ugly part of the duckling was misleading to observers who later discover it is a swan.

This one: I'd come to the end of my marriage. I'd also realised I didn't believe a word of JW teachings. It was a Sunday - a beautiful Sunday. https://youtu.be/hU4bwT8v_sQ

U.K. Nurse Vaccinated With Covid Shot Has Covid Weeks After Getting Vac!
by minimus insomeone i know from england is a nurse.
she told me there was an outbreak at the hospital and she got the virus after being vaccinated.
she said she was told it probably would have been much worse for her had she not gotten vaccinated.

The vaccine is similar to the once in a lifetime pneumonia vaccine. Being 70% effective doesn't mean that 30% of people will still get it. It means that the effects of the disease will, on average, be around 70% less than an unvaccinated person would experience.

About £350 playing roulette. One of the waitresses caught my eye. That was 48 years ago. We now have 3 grown-up sons and are very happy together. A winner all the way!
