  Straining the gnat, gulping the camel.

  by Rush in

  2. beliefs

  i remember the stink caused in the congregation when the sweets 'skittles' were released in the uk.

  they were advertised as containing 100% natural flavourings and colourings.. the problem was, the dye they used in the red skittles was cochineal.

  cochineal is made by pulping the dried bodies of a mexican beetle and produces a vivid red colour that has been highly sought after in the past.. i'm not sure where the issue arose, but some bright spark decided it was against the blood policy to eat this as the beetles hadn't been bled before they were dried and crushed.. the congregation was in an uproar.

  Convention Report

  2. friends

  i just got back from my convention yesterday evening.

  i'll be trying to catch up on the posts as time allows, but there is a very large volume; so if i miss any personal replies, please forgive me.. this was my first convention since i became mentally free, and it was just painful to sit through.

  i used to be one of those dubs who actually enjoyed conventions.

  aluminium toxicity in edinburgh (1976)

  famous jehovahs witnesses

  by Rush in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is my first post.. when i was still a witness myself, there were some perennial stories regarding 'famous' jehovahs witnesses or ex's.

  does anyone know any truth or have any proof about the following: hank marvin, cliff richard and more importantly, the man who hit the gong in the 'rank' movies?.

  if you have anyone of note you want to tell me about, i'd most appreciate it too.. cheers, rush.

  I need a good beating for what I did this morning

  by freeman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this morning i let my emotions run away with me and challenged my 20-year-old son into defending his loyalty to the watchtower shunning doctrine.

  it was not good, im in no way proud of myself.

  im sure he and my dub wife will likely mischaracterize it as an attack on god; anything said against the tower is always an attack on god.
