US / UK: The State Of The Nations Teeth.
by Englishman insorry, all you transatlantic cousins, but your teeth are no better than ours.. after losing count of all the posts from across the pond that decry the state of the average brits teeth, last week i did an in-depth comparison of britteeth versus ameriteeth.
whilst holidaying in sorrento italy, i quickly became aware that tourists visiting the area were ratio-ing at about 60% british, 30% us and 10% german.
this gave me ample opportunity, whilst sitting in cafes and bars to assess the state of each nations gnashers.. without doubt, the worst teeth was that of the deutschlanders, presumably this comes from their habit of eating smoked meat for breakfast, after they have cleaned their teeth.. as for the brits and yanks, there were no discernible winners at all.

The Soldier
by Englishman ini haven't mentioned this before, but my son from my first marriage has just left the army after a 12 year stint on tanks.
although its not likely at the moment that he might be recalled, i thought that you might like to see the words to a song that has become quite a focus for many of our people.
it's well worth the download on audio galaxy.. harvey andrews, "the soldier":.

Beryl Cook, Strippers, JW's and Osarsif.
by Englishman inthis is a painting by the present most-popular living artist, beryl cook.. last weekend, i saw in the window of a local art-gallery another fine painting by beryl cook.
it featured 2 jw ladies leaning inside a householders doorway.
one of them was holding a huge copy of the watchtower.. this morning i telephoned the gallery, only to be told that the print had been sold, and, no, they didn't know what it was called.. so, i was wondering, has anyone else come across this print?

So, Where Are These God Haters Then?
by Englishman inreading the jw's literature one could easily be forgiven for thinking that the whole world is united against god, and as such, according to witness teachings, is only deserving of death.. singing "kingdom melodies" would also lead a person to the same conclusion.
"who is on the lords side", "then they will know", "take sides with jehovah", "marching as to victory", "living up to the name", all these songs are designed to engender a feeling of being part of a god-loving organisation that is united against a common enemy.. the "common enemy syndrome" is used to good effect during wars, so that a nation will pull harder and endure greater deprivations more willingly.. common enemies arouse passion within one's soul as every soccer fan experiences.
flying one's colours in the face of the enemy - opposing team supporters - appeals to our most basic tribal instincts.

Just Suppose That HE Turns Up.
by Englishman inover on h20 there is quite a hiatus raging re this site.. dire warnings are being raised re jw discussions policy of not having moderators policing the site.
"what will happen when the site gets spammed with pornographic words and pics?
" asks rick, h20`s man in charge.. ok, no porn on h20, but to my mind something occurred there that was just as unpleasant.

Is The WTBTS Trying To Cover Up Disfellowshipping?
by Englishman ini was just doing a bit of research about life as a jw "youth", so i decided to click onto the wtbts`s web site at www.watchtower.org to get their viewpoint.. i typed "youth" into the internal search engine, and, bingo!
20 clickonable references to youths.
hmm, i thought, this could be useful, so i typed "disfellowship" and eagerly waited the outpouring of wt references.. all i got was an "err"!.
