  i've made a few posts on the forum to date, and have read more.

  i'm in a really bad mood and looking for some shoulders to cry on.

  i will try to keep my story brief.. i left the jw's 9 years ago and never went back.

  Straining the gnat, gulping the camel.

  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.

  famous jehovahs witnesses

  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.
