Happy birthday laika!
Not only have I never celebrated a birthday (mine or anyone else's) but that's the first time I've ever wished anyone a happy birthday! Glad for you mate!
i had my first real birthday party yesterday.
call me an irredeemable pagan, but i was massively excited about this, the whole thing was very special, i got a little emotional and i think my friends must have found it a little strange but it was just nice to be creature worshipped.
when i was a child my parents always used to tell people i didn't miss out by not celebrating my birthday but i did miss out.
Happy birthday laika!

nazi ss chief himmler was an admirer of the jehovah's witnesses:.
according to rudolf hoess, commandant of auschwitz, ss chief heinrich himmler often used the 'fanatical faith" of jehovah's witnesses as an example to his own ss troops.
* described negroes as degenerate, degraded, servile {wt jul 15 1902 p215}.
I only marked it for the original content of the thread, not the posturing and ego bashing arguments that followed.
But thanks for elucidating.

i did a behind the scenes & launch party shoot for british fashion designer elizabeth emanuel's new luxury women's blouse collection a couple of days ago.
for those that are not familiar with her she is the 'emanuel' that designed probably the most famous wedding dress in history for the late princess diana.
she is a wonderful sweet lady and i do all her events and fashion shows.
Likewise!
I just got myself a 50-150 f/2.8 for portraiture, so jealous of you but happy for you too!

thanks qcf and nugget for starting threads.
thanks cofty for wondering where i was.
Beach 'n' books. Perfect!
Enjoy your sandy kegs sKate!
we are up for a new kind of persecution in the future.
a new form that was unheard of for us.
in australia, disfellowshipped and dissasociated are planning on suing jw for emotional and mental hardship for being cast out completely.
I can assure you that it's a genuine quote from a genuine witness.. I just wondered if there was any truth to the legal possibilities mentioned.. It'd be great if it was illegal to shun!

We are up for a new kind of persecution in the future. A new form that was unheard of for us. In Australia, disfellowshipped and dissasociated are planning on suing JW for emotional and mental hardship for being cast out completely. Some courts are considering this case. It may become illegal in the future to disfellowship people.
Another, in Denmark, it is going to become law that gay marriage MUST be performed in a religious institution if the couple demand it. In other words, religious organizations no loner will have a choice to turn them down. If a pastor, priest, elder turn it down, then the religious institution must provide a replacement.
So if a gay couple CHOOSE a Kingdom Hall, we will be sued because no elder will perform it nor sign the certificate.

i've been given permission to post news of our friend.. kate hasn't been very well.
not well at all.
i think much of it has been a delayed reaction to her df'ing, the general fallout when leaving the wtbs and family issues.. i just wanted to give you guys the heads up and give you a chance to show how much we care about her.. thanks for listening..
Dammit Sam, I was just presuming your dating had gone well and you were otherwise distracted... Take care matey..
i'm just a bit nervous in case i end up in a dump, i don't have the money to move to another place.
it will probably be self-catering greek style basic.
i love the island but am worried now.
I haven't done allocated on arrival before, but I've been to quite a few Greek self catering CHEAP holidays.. All I can say is that you KNOW what the accommodation will be like. Basic. if you're not bothered about that then the only thing to worry about is - will you be miles away from anything, or right in the thick of it? (both no good imo)
I don't think I'd risk it myself. How much cheaper IS it?
a new "fly-on-the-wall" documentary about the life of young mormon missionaries goes out this evening on channel 4.. .
Taped this..
What sort of observations would be good to bring out while watching it with a devout jw to get them thinking without doing it obviously?
