You could ask to have your JC postponed by 2 days, and have it at Englishmans barbie! It would make a change for the elders to be the outnumbered ones.

when caesar's recognition is unavailable

by bathsheba in

i am new here, just been three days browsing around.i wonder if anybody can encourage me.. i came from philippines.

i was baptised in france.

i am married in philippines to a non jw.my husband commit adultery 1999, i file a legal seperation case in phil court based on evidential facts,(he got a baby with his mistress).. my petition of legal seperation is denied.

I assume you are in France now? Can you not apply to be divorced in a French court, where divorce would be legal. I have no legal knowledge of France so I don't know if this would be possible. You will not be reinstated until you have shown repentance by putting your legal situation right, ie, divorced from your ex, and married to your new partner. If this is not possible to do you will never be reinstated. Do you want to spend the rest of your life being shunned, only to die at armagedon, or would you like to get on with enjoying life with your new partner.

i have not been to a meeting for 3 years.

i wrote to the cong and asked them to provide a copy of all info that they have on me.

they have to do this under the uk data protection act.

I've always wondered what infomation was kept about me in the records. I would especially be interested to read the notes from my JC and find out exactly what they thought of what I said to them. And if they were liberal with the shredder I'd like to see them try to use the said documents if I apply to get reinstated...

LOL, and welcome to the board.

How do you know when your divorce is getting ugly? When your lawyer doesn't seem like the bloodsucking leech anymore.

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.

In 2000 years maybe Homer will be a god.

I hope so. Who fancies joining the Homertarians with me? You've got to drink lots of beer, sit watch tv and gorge yourself on pork chops. Mmm, pork chops.....

Paradise vs. Living Forever

by Water in

i wonder; if the typical jw was given a choice between living 100 years in paradise or living forever in a society such as we have today, what would they choose?

what is the real draw, immortality or perfection?.

This reminds me of the Queen song - Who wants to live forever, if love must die.

Living forever appeals to me, just think of all the things you haven't been able to do because you haven't got the time, or your getting too old for. But would it be worth it if all you got was hassle from everyone, telling you what to do?

What's the funniest gag / stunt you saw 'in service'?

by DFWnonJW in

just curious here <eg>.

i've heard of plenty of teenagers knock-n-running but that's rather on the dull side.

so what's the funniest bit of slapschtick you've seen or heard of witnesess pulling while getting in the time quota?

Gadget

Every CO's visit me and my friend would arrange to work together on the Friday morning. We would turn up just after the meeting started and slip in at the back. This made it easy for us to be missed when the territory was handed out. We then went for breakfast at the local market, meeting up with everyone at the coffee break at 11 o'clock. Never once got caught either, we must have been easy to miss when so many were out.

UK Government says thieves need protection

by Jayson in

government lawyers trying to keep the norfolk farmer tony martin behind bars will tell a high court judge tomorrow that burglars are members of the public who must be protected from violent householders.

the case could help hundreds of criminals bring claims for damages for injury suffered while committing offences.

in legal papers seen by the independent, home office lawyers dispute mr martin's contention that he poses no risk to the public because he only represents a threat to burglars and other criminals who trespass on his property.

When people are caught committing a crime, justice needs to be done, but its also needs to be seen to be done. People see criminals getting off on technicalities, or being given stupidly light sentances. In prisons you see the same people coming in regularly on short sentances. They know they are not going to be harshly punished at court, and going to have an easy time in prison so they carry on committing crimes. As long as the public see this happening their is going to be vigilanty's, and more people like Tony Martin.
