  My cat is named Willoughby after the Jane Austen character.

  As a kid we named our cat "Moxie" after the soft drink.

  We also had a tortoiseshell cat named "Mincemeat" because that's what she looked like.

  

  My ex-in-laws (both Dubs) used to live on a farm and would raise two pigs and two sheep every year (they ended up in the freezer). They named the sheep after bible characters (Barak and Gideon, for example) but they'd name the pigs after pop stars (Steve and Eydie, Sonny and Cher, Donny and Marie).

  Splash - Thanks for all the research! Instead of the Watchtower Society it should be the Waffle Society.

  Jw;s like family

  i was wondering do you ever miss certain jw's?

  i mean not all but just some, becuase even though we may rant and rave against jw's at times.

  we have to remeber that for those that were born in the jw's theywere like family.which is why it is so hard at for me to let go completely.. although i have been out for about 5 yrs and it feels good.

  There's a new series on the ID channel (Investigation Discovery) called, "Dangerous Persuasions." The first episode featured the story of a couple who had risen to a high level in Scientology and left. Their account made the WTS look like a band of cub scouts.

  It will show again on Saturday at 3 p.m.

  I also noticed that there's not one word in there about child sexual abuse.

  It's interesting on page 57 that it says that if a woman is raped at gunpoint and doesn't try to fight her attacker off or scream she doesn't have to be disfellowshipped but can be considered an unintentional first offender "and should be dealt with accordingly."

  Bloody hell! So sanctity of life doesn't enter into it. Just aggravate your attacker and then let him blow out your brains. Was there a rapist on the GB?

  Its intersting to note though that the brochure has been included in the 2012 Watchtower Library .

  That leads me to think that the WTS must have recently got into trouble over the Trinity booklet. It's like they're suddenly hiding it behind their back with a guilty look on their face and a lame excuse. "What, that? Oh, it's nothing."

  my best man at my wedding, twenty years ago, was someone i always trusted.

  he was a friend for fishing, a friend who remained when i left the religion with my wife 15 years ago and although he was a bit issolated.

  i kind of trusted him.

  Disgusting, but so typical. I hope the survivor has plenty of support from her family.
