Ted Buckingham stayed with us about 18 years ago, while Corstorphine congregation was being liquidated. Seemed like a bit of a gentleman from my teenage point of view.

Mike Reid spent a day in Edinburgh with my mother after Marjory died. His car got lifted for being parked on a single yellow (£90 penalty) and he let her pay half, seeing as it's her city. When she politely declined to see him again she got a snippy little letter that accused her of leading him on.
Plonker.
Do I win for being the most gossipy?!

New Tract
by scotsman inapparently there's a new tract being released as an invitation to the memorial this year.
i gather there was a new tract released to invite people to the conventions last year and this is something similar.
it's in the next km.. suggested reason by cult member: because this is the last memorial this side of armageddon..

Thanks Tij, I've been wracking my brains trying to remember Robert Strickland. Liked antiquarian maps and skived off a lot. Jean loved a gossip and had eyebrows plucked to oblivion.
Andy Schofield is on the Newcastle circuit I've learned. How Biker Jane copes with that life I don't know.
david remarried a girl he met 2 months prior at a pioneer meeting rehearsal..got 'demoted' to just an elder in anniesland cong in glasgow where he didnt quite come to terms with not being the c.o...died not long after...poor girl he married - her first husband had ran off to become part of the gay scene in london so she lost 2 husbands in almost as many years...as oscar wilde would say to lose one is unfortunate but to lose two was just plain careless
That's not entirely true. He left her because she was a bloody nightmare and then began a relationship with another man that he'd known for a long time. They're still together and he's never been on the gay scene. She was one of the most manipulative people I've ever come across and an adept liar. Don't know what David saw in her.
Unlike Number 6 I was never keen on Alastair Campbell, as a CO and when he took my pioneer school. Bit of a bully at times. Kate however, was delightful.

Isn't little Andy Schofield now on Circuit?
Tij
It's all been kept fresh in your memory - despite having most of them stay with us I have a hard time remembering their names never mind heir misdeeds. I seem to recall Terry Armstrong being singularly unpopular in the West - didn't he make sisters sit in the back of the car if they were unchaperoned? (Now there's a word that's lain unsused since I left!)

How do you explain Altruism?
by nicolaou inaltruism describes an unselfish attention to the needs of others and is central to the main religions: jesus told his followers to; "love your neighbour as yourself, mohammed said none of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself and buddhism advocates seeking for others the happiness one desires for oneself.. .
throughout history the debate has been whether this benevolence towards others is part of our make-up and natural inclination or a virtue we must impose on ourselves through effort, religious or otherwise.
then of course came darwin with his ideas about competition and natural selection the origin of species described a world where every organism struggles for it's own supremacy.. .

My mom finally did it!
by Woofer ini guess i wasn't surprised yesterday to find a letter size envelope from my mom in my mail box.
i didn't have to be psychic to figure out that it was the new tract.
she was also "nice" enough to include a watchtower from sept (i think 06) entitled "when a loved one leaves jehovah" and of course he underlined many points for me.

I think this is the perfect opportunity to write her back and tell her exactly why I will NEVER go back.
But tell her nicely. She's older, she's sick, she's trapped, she's well intended but utterly deluded.

My mother was brought up in the truth and lived through the 1975 in the truth.
He's a young thing, y'all be nice to him (no matter how uninformed he is).
