Ever get the feeling your just not "normal"?
by logansrun ineven when i was a dub i felt this way.
i mean, i would just stand there at gatherings and feel that i was in my own world -- that, somehow, everyone else was "in" and i was "out.
" i never felt this way at formal gatherings -- meetings, assemblies, etc -- only in most social settings.

What's The Difference Between UK & US?
by Englishman ini'm only posting this so as to get a buzz from looking forward to our trip to joy & steve's place in october.. i last went to the usa when i was 12 years old and i'm keen to know what differences to expect.
i know that their service industry is vastly superior to ours, someone told me that restaurant staff are actually helpful over there!.
umm, driving on the opposite side is going to be strange.

Memorial observance It isnt about Jesus at all!
by 1badmutha inwe all know that jesus is a pretty much-overlooked figure by the wbts.
they refuse to celebrate his birth for a number of convoluted reasons, which i refuse to argue.
but, it is curious that they celebrate the death of christ.

Why the difference in JW approach in US/Canada/UK etc
by core inreading here today a recurring thought came to me - why such huge differences in the organisation approach country by country?
it seems to me that in a lot of cases the actions of the congs/elders/branch in the us is fanatical if not lunatic whereas reports from canada show a milder approach, as with posts re issues in the uk - is this the case and if so what do you thing causes it - .
reading the many elder abuse issues from the us indicates a lot (not all) of the elders there are absolute stark raving mad - power control freaks with little intelligence or learning - are things worse there than in other places?
