  in order to get a booking a little nearer to xmas (november wasn't quite pagan enough) we have booked the farmhouse burrfields road, portsmouth po3 5hh for 7th december @ 12 noon.

  the restuarant wants a deposit of 5 per person payable in 2 weeks.

  this booked up really quickly last year, so act promptly if you want to join in the merriment.

  maybe prime one of your other friends with 'your' responses so your father has to debate with a stranger?

  takes the emotion out of it, and your dad has to justify his beliefs to someone who has no prior knowledge of JW wackery, and will begin to sound really weird really quickly...

  can someone call bethel and record the call - state that you are a disfellowshipped apostate and that you wish to make a donation to the worldwide work - ask them if they shun mentally diseased cash.

  " First, examine whether there is bias. What is the motive for the message? If the message is rife with name-calling and loaded words, why is that? Loaded language aside, what are the merits of the message itself? Also, if possible, try to check the track record of those speaking. Are they known to speak the truth? If "authorities" are used, who or what are they? Why should you regard this person—or organization or publication—as having expert knowledge or trustworthy information on the subject in question? If you sense some appeal to emotions, ask yourself, 'When viewed dispassionately, what are the merits of the message?'
