by ThomasCovenant inhttp://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/education-news/2009/09/03/winning-a-scholarship-to-eton-91466-24595339/.
eton college is possibly the most famous public school in the world and they have recently accepted their first ever jehovah's witness.
the link above is a local news item.. i am reliably informed that the boy's father 'stepped down' from his 'position' of ministerial servant as some in the local congregation were not too happy with the example being set.. .

MY BROTHER-IN-LAW HAS DIED
by Mary inthis is one post i had always hoped i would never have to do, but after a long and brave battle, my beloved brother in law has died.
i have done a couple of threads on this in the past, so many of you know the battles he was facing.

MY PROJECT IS (FINALLY) FINISHED!
by Mary infor those of you who are interested, the project i've been working on for the last few months is finally finished.
i originally did a thread about it back in april: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/156497/1.ashx.
it seems that alot of us still have family members in the religion and have not infrequent arguments with them about some of the beliefs and practices.

J-Dubs and hypocrisy.
by corproal ini went to reno for father's day week-end and stayed at the grand sierra resort (formerly know as reno hilton or the mgm grand many years ago) and i happen to decided to head downstairs to do a little bowling and lo and behold i saw all of these men and women walking back and forth in ill fitting suits and dresses and was wondering what was going on.
i decided to investigate and found out they were having a conventian at the hotel and casino.
i though it a bit hypocritical for them to have the convention at this place so i went over and asked a guy who looked as if he were an elder and asked him why out of all places they decided to have a convention at a casino.his answer was there was no ther space available for that particular week-end .i know this to be an all out lie.the convention center is down the street a few miles and i inquired about availability and was told that there was space but the group that originally requested ,decided to go elsewhere.. so my question is doesn't this sound a bit weird?you should have seen how miserable the teenagers were having to sit through hours of boredom.. by the way i'm not a witness,my wife was ,but decided not to go back after being disfellowshipped for the last 15 years..
