  brethren.

  one of the apostates here in melbourne has grown weary of his dub/cult literature and has given me his full set of russell wts, 1879 thru 1916 reprints in very fine condition.

  also his complete collection of rutherford books such as government, harp, enemies etc.

  RF, I think you should pay him in the typical Aussie fashion - slabs of VB.

  i would really like to hear from people who were in these congregations at any point, or indeed still are.

  always nice to know who has escaped and which poor sods are still in it and suffering.

  (((((CC))))) Wow, what a small world. At a young age I lost my mother from cancer too, so I can empathise.

  Off hand, I don't remember any names from Cessnock. Some used to move between Singleton and Cessnock. Did you meet a family called the Pococks? They lived in Singleton but the twin girls my have moved. I also remember a sister that was called Sis Bevan, but I'm not sure if Bevan is her first name or surname. I think she lived down that way at some stage.

  The names don't ring a bell.

  Was this woman youngish (20s or 30s) with cancer? I remember a woman of that description visiting Tamworth once, and she had some young boys with her. I remember feeling sad for their situation, becos she was advanced with the cancer, and she'd be leaving behind her young children behind.

  Sorry to hear about it CCR. Shame that your family can't be more supportive during this time, although they may be grieving for your father in their own way too.

  No Respect

  i have a friend who refuses to tell me how old he is.

  he claims that people often judge you or pigeon-hole you when they find out how old you are.

  i have tried to argue against this point, but i have recently realized how true this is.

  If you feel you are being looked down upon because of your age, take your age off your profile. Some people will see the age and automatically put you into a group. So if you don't like it, take the age off and see if that makes any difference.

  I was taught to respect my elders, so I am inclined to take more notice of what an older person says than a younger person. Why? Simply because older people generally have more life experience. This isn't to mean I ignore or belittle what a younger person says, but if I can see that someone is speaking out of ignorance or lack of experience, I'll be more inclined to listen to someone else, preferably who has had some life experience.
