The answer is "German". Above is the proof - I wouldn't want to guess.
well, we had a grand old time yesterday dakota red kindly offered his home for our mini-fest, and what started off as a little party for searcher (our uk guest of honor) became somewhat more than that .
in alphabetical order, our group included: bikerchic, blueyes, bruce and dorian baker, buster and wifey, carmel, dakota red, goshawk, lost diamond, onacruse, princess and steve (and steve's mom and a family friend), searcher, seven006, songmistress, and veniceit.. carmel brought some delicious salmon for the barbie, and we even got searcher to have a taste.
we overlooked the fact that brits prefer to eat fish in the form of fish and chips searcher and songmistress--when we brought out the cake, everything was fine until somebody started to sing happy birthday...the words just sorta stuck in our throats, and we looked around at each other like a bunch of dubbies lolololol.
Ona - If all the guests are in speedos , please keep the pics small.

i want to give my house a name.
lot's of my neighbours have already done this, so we have a plethora of name boards springing up in my road.
(actually, i susupect it's a sort of snobbery so that people will know that it's not just another old house full of flats and bedsits but a privately owned whole house).
Here are a few that quickly came to mind:
Lapostashire View
Le Postashire House / Manor (full snobbery here)
Le Postaview House / Manor (snobbery)
Noeldershire House / View / Manor (more snobbery)
Dubfre House / Manor
Nodubby Cubby
Good luck Englishman

bios.... lolol .
we met him at yesterday's meetup, invited him to stay the night.
bopped around today, brunch...and then he started messing with katie's computer.. is nothing sacred anymore????
...caught with my hand in the cookie jar again...
it has been suggested that we have a recipe collection for posters on jwd.. and that idea was taken one step further by suggesting that we make a cookbook with the various recipes provided by the posters here.
all proceeds from the book would go to simon to help support the board (which would be a lot easier than everyone getting a cut of the "profits".
it would be pretty easy to get a collection of recipes and make up some cds.. i um have actually edited a cookbook before.
hey,.
i'm from holland.. i'm not that very well english typer, so don't be mad at me ok?.
see all you a round the board.. .
This ex-Borgonian welcomes you!

this was actually fun, and informative.
All man here!
had a good phone convo with bob tonite.
well i guess it depends on your definition of good but anyways.
he spewed for an hour straight about why we can't talk anymore and that unless i become a witness, we can no longer have any contact.
LP,
Welcome to the JWD forum.
I will not drag on with a diatribe about the JWs, because I have over 20 years experience - born into the cult. I am a man of few words, but I see a possible emotional train wreck in your situation.
Let me give you some helpful advice, as I would my own sister, if I had one. First, don't get into a serious relationship at 18. If you have your act together as I suspect you do, then make the most of it and start a career that will sustain you and not make you dependent. Then if you decide to marry, you will have a career, should something happen to your spouse, or if the marriage goes south for some reason. Second, we buy insurance for our vehicles, but too many people don't consider an education and career as a form of insurance.
As for the j-dubs, please don't enter that cult just to please somebody. That cult requires your heart and soul and teaches conditional love for family members, among other disturbing beliefs. I know firsthand the effects of this cult.
I wish the best for you LP.

subject: hb 1054. .
the house of representatives voted in favor of shb 1054 on friday, march 7,.
It's not likely that an abuser will confess the crime to an elder. But a report from the abused or abuser's relatives, or others, is more likely.
Watch, the WTS will try to weasel out by trying to exclude elders, by claiming that they're not 'clergy'.
May the Washington State senate have the wisdom to pass this bill.

(another exJW in Washington)
the watchtower published articles on many topics.. reading the awake!
magazine over a period of years has been compared to being equivalent to a college education.. but, where are the articles on math?
in particular, nothing has ever been published in the awake about calculus, which was the mathematics that really ushered in modern science and technology.. nothing in the watchtower library at all, not on calculus, algebra, or trigonometry!.
I won't belabor this issue, so In 2 words,
That's hogwash.....
