homer set to pip abraham lincoln as greatest american
homer simpson looks likely to beat abraham lincoln to the title of the greatest ever american.. .
the head of the simpsons clan has taken almost a fifth of the votes in an internet poll.. the 16th president of the us managed just over 16%.. the poll has been held to tie in with a bbc2 debate called what the world thinks of america to be screened on tuesday at 9pm.. civil rights leader martin luther king is in third position, ahead of former presidents such as george washington.. other quirky choices to have made the top ten include mr t, famed for his role in tv's the a team, and bob dylan.. the 90-minute debate will be presented by bbc political editor andrew marr and will look at opinions about the us's position in the world.. it will bring together national broadcasters from around the world in a live satellite link-up.
What do you mean - my kids think I am Marge and Dad is Homer.
People even think our son looks like Bart, and our daughter is Lisa - the brainy one.
So of course he is real DOH.
The only thing is our surname is different!!!!!!!!
What a family.....aaarrrggghh

ps. I remember being told by JWs that the Simpsons should not be watched - now that is going back some 10 years. mmmmm Every story had a moral - some that JWs should maybe take on board......
i feel the need to express how i feel and felt about my life as a gay man.
i was brought up from birth as a jehovahs witness.
this has played a major part in my life and it has been a real struggle to get past.
Thank you so much for sharing your story.
It took you alot to share this, and it is much appreciated.
When the time is right, I will relay something to you aswell. Something very similar.
All I know is that JWs have a lot to answer for, self righteous prigs.
We are still in the throws of dealing with it.
Many thanks and hugs
Mrs Nightwarrior
We will be down near Bridgwater - Fiddington - getting the caravan ready for the summer hols, so this will be great.
Nightwarrior
Can we come plllleeeeeeeeease.
If so we will be four, Chris, myself (cath), and two teens.
Thanks
Cath Mrs Nightwarrior
i think there are about 20 cong in each circuit (correct me if i'm wrong).
i was in the sussex circuit, can't remember which number though.
any of you remember which circuit you're cong was assigned to?.
London Circuit 5 (I think) Anyway south east london.
Hayes bridge - and yes it was a young offenders place
Mrs Nightwarrior
hi everyone, in the congregation i grew up in, it was very cold and unloving.
circuit overseers would come and go, they would give counsel and nothing changed.
at one time even the do came at the same time as the co and gave counsel to 'widen out'.
This is a good thread. Been fun reading it...
We are in SE London, but went to Hayes Bridge.
CO's Richard Cullen - cheap smarmy git..... (that's me being nice)
Glen McFarlane - I remember him when he was Co up in the North East - not bad
Jim Carter - He had a stroke, again up in the NE, and now I think off the circuit - he was ok
Rember Dennis Dutton - I heard some years ago he had left the JWs' ? anyone enlighten me?
Now I am trying to think... of some other names ---
Mrs Nightwarrior
does anyone know if they still hold assemblies at crystal palace?
i remember being told.
not to talk to the weirdos who would hang outside and hand out apostate material.
Crystal Palace has not been a venue for some years now - London Arena became the one to be seen at!
I am so glad that I do not have the trudge of going to the Assemblies anymore - this will be the first district assembly that I have not been. ooohhhh the excitement of knowing that I do not have to go - wonderful - and the weather is going to be lovely this weekend - oh what a shame!
Mrs Nightwarrior
anyone here going to the newcastle upon tyne assembly this weekend?
Well now I know where my family will be this weekend - newcastle! and no doubt all ears will be listening for the news about apostates - more ammunition for them - not that it really matters, I have been 'shunned' for quite a while now.
I remember Murrayfield, and walking down Princes Street, and taking the sly morning off to visit the Castle and do the Royal Mile.
Oh what memories - well I enjoyed Edinburgh!
Mrs Nightwarrior
i hate mondays!.
i also feel bad because i have been receiving subtle hints from my hubby that he may be leaving me.
we have been married for 24 years, have 4 beautiful, intelligent children (one is no longer with us), we have been though troubles, worries, the death of our darling claire, money problems - you name it - we've been there.. now - because i have different religious views to him, he doesn't think he can associate himself with me any longer.

I am so sorry to read that things are still not good.
The small mindedness of JWs really gets me annoyed.
Please call. You know where I am.
Hugs
Mrs Nightwarrior (cath)
why is it that after all these years i have suddenly become aware that ,all jehovahs witnesess or those whom claim to be so called have actualy formed a judegment on the whole world of mankind , by stating that they have the only true message from god,.
what is that message and are they the only ones whom talck to the creator, ????????????.
the scriptures allways gave times and seasons when god talcked to mankind ,yet the leaders of this tinpot organization have never ever published anything stating that jehovah talcked to any given individual,as he did with mossess or other men of old,my question is do the re followers need proof that they are serving god or are they serving man ,hhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
