How many of you were disfellowshipped?
by Oxnard Hamster injust curious.
i get the impression from reading posts that a great deal are.
i also noticed while i was studying with them that virtually everybody has/had a relative that was disfellowshipped or knew someone who is/was.

South East England - love of the greater number cooling off
by truthseeker inhi 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'.

I was at twickers the year before that, but ended up in the pub during the sessions.
I remember CP one year, looked at the burger vans just before the prayer started and no que, opened my eyes from the prayer and magically there was a massive que ! amazing that people walked out during a prayer !

Blimey so you all know him then !
Really nice bloke, very well spoken, I remember the first time I picked up the phone to him when he called my mum and he was trying to describe to me how he was related to me - I thought it was a creepy caller ! but he was a lovely bloke the more i got to know him. Whenever I spoke to him he had always been flown to far flung places by the society

Truthseeker, in answer to your question about being mentioned in the yearbook my uncle is WJ Bull or as he is know to everyone Bill Bull, he heads the HLC for Britain.
My Aunt Dorothy Bull was also in the WT I think in the 80's as she was something leading in Dialysis.
I used to also go to Hayesbridge - in fact have a pic of me, ignored one and the enourmous family of his ! and my bitch sister.

Mmmm dont remember anyone writing the clown thing ! interesting. I remember the Wacketts dont remember one becoming a CO but it could of happened, quite a spiritual family.
Ignored, yeah I remember, we were at Bluewater and your brother brought you along and I was told that you were all not allowed to meet up with us to go to the cinema becuase you never went to the meetings, so being that your brother was my friend at the time I was the one that had to send the message - If only I had known back then, that you out of all of them would be the ONLY ONE to stand by me - I would of told them to F*ck off. Sorry I didnt do it in the first place !
There were some interesting ones in the Rochester cong where I first went to. One bloke, he was in the old Cigar adverts for Hamlet, his Daughter was the blonde girl with the squeeky voice on the Philladelphia cheese advert. I heard he went a bit loopy and left the cong to seek a life with jesus.

Stopping smoking - any suggestions?
by be wise inhi, i smoke, not loads, but i would like to stop.
i think i will find it really hard though and was wondering how you stopped if you were a previous smoker.
i also suffer from asthma which obviously doesn't make things any better.

I used to smoke a pack a day but stopped in september. Go to Holland and Barrett and get some herbal ciggies £.1.75 ish, vile but you dont want to smoke after them. Also there is usually a stand in some town centres where they have a black looking drink that is free and apparantly makes you stop - probably a pure mixture of tar and nicotine !
I have kinda started again on a few a day but aim to stop next week, believe me I can feel the difference in my health already !
Good luck !
