Freudian householder
by anglise inok hands up.

Can someone tell me.....?
by biblexaminer ini have seen that some here post with italics, bold, underline, blockquote and horizontal line.
i have examined the source for some of these posts and they look regular html.
yet, when i have tried, the post appears without the formatting and the source html code appears as text.

Door To Door? Not At Heathrow!
by Englishman inall this talk about whether door to door work is fruitful or not has really got me thinking.. so i was wondering, (a) how many jw's or ex's here were actually converted on the door, and (b) how many jw's or ex's here ever obtained a convert on the door?.
i made 2 converts whilst a jw, but 1 was the son of an interested person, the other was a wayward son of a weak sister so i get a zero.. my dad worked at london heathrow as an air traffic controller, he got 6 other controllers to join up, so if you're arriving in the uk, don't fly apostasy airways!
for all his frequent bouts of vac pioneering, i don't think that he ever pulled a live one off the doors, so he gets a zero too.. my mum was quite a puller in her time but they were all friends of friends who came to sit in on bible studies etc, so, sorry mater, you get a zero also.. as a matter of fact, i'm wondering if the door to door work isn't completely pointless!.

Should I Respect Mums Wishes?
by Englishman inmy jw mum has chosen not to write a will.
as she has very little in the way of worldly goods, she has asked my brother and i to sell her possesions when the time comes, and give the money to "the congregation".
presumably the jw`s will decide suddenly that it`s now ok to talk to us df'd ones.. also, my mum has asked me to pack up all her 100's of wt books for presentation to the local congregation library.. now, i have to tell you that these books include the original watchtower and awake volumes.

How long was it for you?
by expatbrit ini'm curious: how many years were you in before you left?
by left, i mean either df'd and decided not to go back, or da'd, or faded, or even just realized it was a crock but stuck around anyway for family reasons?.
we're told in la-la-land that it's the newly baptized, those who are "spiritually immature" that mostly leave.

Did you burn the sacred documents?
by LovesDubs in...or did you shred the shit out of em so even the garbage man wouldnt become accidentally sucked into this cult like i did?
during the time i read crisis of conscience i went into a two week long rage.
i was angry all the time for being duped and i hated every witness on the planet, mostly for being as stupid as i was, and the upper echelon at the society...i just wanted to castrate them.

Will JW`s Vote In April Election?
by Englishman ini wonder what will happen to any jw`s who choose to vote in the next uk election?.
i have been talking to an english jw pensioner who reckons that he has had his senior citizens pension increase by over 1000 per annum -about $1600 - under tony blairs labour government, he says: "no way do i want to see the tories get back in again, i`m much better off with labour in power".. he may well be tempted to vote for his choice of government within the next 3 or 4 weeks.
unlike us voting laws, the english government has to call a national election within 5 years of the previous one.
