Duncan - Part III - Into Thin Hair
by hillary_step inthe 70s passed by in a haze of bad fashions and flaccid watchtower excess.
i tried hard to be bright-boy, thinking somehow that i was pleasing the inhabitants of heaven by doing so, and was rapidly pushed up jacobs corporate ladder, somehow without ever having to put my foot on a rung.
regular pioneer, ms, infant elder, special pioneer, temporary co, special branch assignments, they dropped on me with a rapidity that took away my senses.

Memories of Duncan - Part 2 - The Tables Turn
by hillary_step innot long after a fifteen year old duncan had outraged his teachers and surprised his peers by leaving behind a promising academic career to regular pioneer and wash windows, a telegraph pole wearing green pants knocked at my door.
as i was expecting a visit from the local constabulary, for reasons noted below; the pole was a pleasant surprise.
the pole was a actually a jw, the plainest and longest man i had ever seen, with a mighty grin capable of felling empires and, i was to discover, also the possessor of a formidable intellect.

Role Play among the Dubs
by Duncan indear all, .
this is my 100th post, and i decided to repost something i originally did as a post on h2o a couple of years ago.
it was a reply to somebody, and buried miles-deep in the thread, so hopefully it wont have been read by too many already.

New Study All Over Again?
by Francois ini'll be moving soon to a new city about 300 miles from here.
i'm so tempted to wait, just like a spider, on the jws to come by with their current offer and get all "interested" in what they say.
then get myself a study.

Memories of Duncan - Part 1
by hillary_step init was a surprise and delight for me to find duncan posting to this board.. our relationship goes back further than either of us would care to admit, right back to the days that were.. we both attended one of the most respected schools in our english town.
a school which produced reams of achievers like a combine-harvester of the soul.
it sowed the embryonic seeds of a major uk politician, world class musicians, in the classics and out, and a particularly amusing mimic who went on to write comedy scripts for some of the uks most popular shows.. i was not a jw at the time.

Part 5: The Beginning of the End
by Amazing inpart 5: the beginning of the end .
note: from this point forward begins not only my final journey out of the jws, but even more bizarre and twisted turns in the road.
i hope you all find this interesting, because to me it only gets more intriguing and weird for the 3 12 years following january 1992... moment of decision: i can point back to the mountain top visit with god, or maybe today i might call it a visit with my higher power, whomever she/he/it might be.

Old Seats or New Seats?
by Duncan inevery now and again we discuss on this forum the degree of control that the society enjoys over its members the rank and file.
that there is huge control is beyond dispute, i would guess.
but theres more to it than just a simple predatory attitude from brooklyn (though thats there, for sure).

I am a daddy!
by dedalus inmy daughter was born at 9:05am tuesday morning.
she's a skinny little thing, 7 pounds 5 ounces, with a shock of black hair, her father's chin, her mother's eyes, and a fetish for sucking on fingertips that neither of us recognize in ourselves.
i'll post pictures when i have them up somewhere ... meanwhile, foxy and i are trying to catch as much sleep as possible, which is precious little sleep at all.

Hear'say
by Duncan infor those who dont know, hearsay are a recently-manufactured pop group.
they were formed from the successful auditioners to a prime-time uk tv show popstars.
you know the general idea, five thousand hopefuls apply, there are regional auditions, regional finals, the cut to the final hundred, then the final fifty last ten, then the best 5 were chosen to be in the group 3 girls 2 boys.
