  My childhood home, 60 years later. What about yours?

  by compound complex in

  greetings, former children:.

  i really miss my childhood home, which we left in 1960. dad sold it for some 12,000 dollars; it recently sold for somewhere under 1.5 million.

  it's only a tiny bungalow but in a prosperous bay area town, not too far from san francisco, california.. the art and literature that are so important to me -- and for many others of us -- got their start in my heart and mind here in the california mountains.

  I grew up in south-east England. Our street was a new development which was built on the site of an old convent. Ours was an interesting street and had a high wall which ran mostly around the entire street. This was part of the original convent enclosure. We had a lot of trees so being a kid I used to climb them and climbed over the wall into the neighbour's houses behind and go scrumping for apples etc.

  We had the book study and field service arrangements at my house for many years.

  can anyone provide links and info on the call for witnesses (i'm guessing this was for u.k. jws) to move to ireland in the early 1970s.. as a result of this call for need greaters, some of my family moved to eire around this time.. truthseeker.

  I occasionally have JW dreams. The most recent one was me giving a talk in my home congregation. All I had on was my trousers (pants), socks and shoes. I was giving a talk topless! And no one said anything. After that I walked out.

  I've had Armaggedon dreams where I'm hiding or trying to avoid being hit by fireballs. Scary stuff.

  I think dreams tell us things. Giving a talk while topless may indicate being exposed as an apostate.

  The weird thing is I interact with witnesses from my hall. I've had dreams where I know I'm apostate but I'm in the congregation, trying to figure out my escape.

  i am a subscriber on youtube for kim and mikey, marc and cora, susan gaskin, stacy lopez, spike r, and several others.

  i recently found a channel called anonni mowse and she is just fantastic.

  she is so down to earth, very educated, and speaks her mind so clearly about her being in the cult.

  I'm watching this and can't believe this is the sort of thing that is labouriously discussed at elder's meetings. They truly "strain out a gnat and swallow a camel."

  They quote Exodus 17 where Moses is hoding up his rod so that the Israelites would prevail in battle and if his hands got tired and lowered the rod, the Amalekites would prevail.

  I never understood this. How unfair to have your life as a soldier in the hands of a tired old man who couldn't keep his rod up.

  It does look that way doesn't it. A lot of Scottish congregations have a deficit.

  Where did you see Ardrishaig downgraded to a group? I didn't think that was possible.

  The congregations in Northern Ireland were difficult to find. They do not appear on the N.I. charity website. I found them listed on an obscure form under the website using Google. I verified the congregation with the address to see if they were still active or not. There is no financial information for them.
