They demanded the literature returned, Nowfree? What a hide! LOL You should have demanded the part of your life the Dubs stole from you back!

Thanks for the comments, folks! As always, anyone wishing to be in the Who's Who, please email me and I'll get you up there in the next update.
Having Outnfree's convention stories immortalised on there is a good idea - it means people can read about it even though it faded away from public view on the board a long time ago. Perhaps it's time to encourage the putting up of such testimonies on the Who's Who for that reason...

What's everyone doing for Christmas?
by Missie Eff ini'm in a quandry.. came out of the organisation a few years ago, have spend a couple of chilled out christmasses in front of the fire.

SOunds like a great time, Thirdson! The snow is a great touch - here we usually have 30 degree (Celsius) plus heat, but we still cook and eat the hot food! We don't bother with a fire, though.

What is wrong selling God's word?
Absolutely everything! See Jesus' actions against the money-changers at the Temple.
BTW, Fred, are you going to take TR up on his offer? He's very keen on meeting you and showing you some true, non-Watchtower friendship.

I agree with Naeblis: part with a bit of your hard-earned to make your boy a little happier, if only temporarily. Christmas is a great time for the kids because of all the great stuff they get, and great for the adults because of all the food you get to eat. Every year we try to invite people around who don't have family to spend Christmas with. It looks like we may get a few this year. If you don't want to go to the trouble of Christmas dinner yourself or don't know how to start, find a "worldly" friend and explain that you've got trouble with the whole Christmas concept and don't know anything about how to celebrate it: "could we spend Christmas with you?" You'd be surprised how generous and helpful people can be. Christmas is about treating your family in a very special way once a year.

Seeing Afghan women again worth the war
by Eyebrow inthis may seem trivial to some that do not agree with the us going after the taliban by bombing afghanastan, but i had to make a comment.. i watched the news the other day and saw for the first time, women and girls in afghanastan outside, and many showing their facs and smiling.
there are a few that have been able to return to work after 5 long years.
kids are now allowed to fly kites again, and you could hear music playing.. these are things that i, and many others i am sure, have taken for granted since we are so free in this country.

Some funny things about Aussies...
by closer2fine infrom the australian bureau of statistics.
3 australians die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.. 142 australians were injured in 1998 by not removing all the pins from new shirts.. 58 australians are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of.
screwdrivers.. 31 australians have died since 1996 by watering their christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.. 19 australians have died in the last 3 years by eating christmas.

Actually the Christmas cracker thing is believable - you have to pull the things really hard to get them to break and it would be easy for someone to go over backwards in their chair when it does!

divining rods work
by zerubberballz init's a funny ol' world.
a month ago i was mucking about with some thick fencing wire and i suddenly got the idea to bend a couple of pieces into a set of divining rods like i've seen old nutters doing on tv.
so i cut two sections of wire about 2' long and bent the ends 4" at 90 degrees to form old fashioned diving rods (twitching sticks are made of yew or hickory or something .. don't know what, if anything aboriginies used).

I try to rule out subjectivity in such things, DB. My life saving medication makes me shake like buggery, so using me to test such things where small delicate movements can interfere with the results would hardly be objective, or cricket! Let's just say my reluctance to indulge in this testing regime is to do with my embarrassment over my inability to perform some physical tasks which others find easy...
If Unc can repeat the results, then surely he is the one to do the demo?
As for calling it hogwash, I tell Unc that about most things he says! When he summons that nice juicy gold nugget out of the ground, I'll be the first to congratulate him.
