Anyway getting back to the subject how are the Mill Hill people doing?,
says he after having done his fair share of highjacking
a few months ago there was a thread about a couple of elders at the mill hill bethel being disfellowshipped because they disagreed with some wt doctrine (i can't recall exactly what it was) and that several other betheliteswere under 'investigation'.
i haven't heard anything since, does anyone know anything more about this?.

as many of you know, when i left the borg i did the perfect fade by emigrating half way accorss the globe.
i have never given out my new address ( the overseass postal service... totaly crap, what can you do huh;) i have also changed my email account too and my phone number.
therefore i have effectively disapeared!
Highdose,
how could I reproach them for this small imperfection, I mysellf have done that, including over the pond. Mind, both giving and receiving. Being a JW has to have its perks, to make up for the many miseries it carries.

about 2 weeks ago i met a guy online, we chatted on the phone one evening and had a good conversation and aranged to go on a date this friday coming.. since then i have heard almost nothing at all from him!
i think about 2 texts and thats it!
in one of the texts he hints that he would like to see a picture of me "wearing alot less".
Highdose,
if you're looking for a relationship, I wouldn't say "be careful", just Drop it, it is all too obvious that this chap is not seeking the same thing as you. An honest guy would never ever send that text to a woman he has not met yet and whose sensitivity he ignores so shamelessly.

Welcome, Podobear, are you a sort of pshychiatrist ? if so, you must have a tremendous lot to say about the mental condition of your JW patients. I look forward to reading your experiences. It is unlikely that I ever told you anything at your door because at that time I was learning the job with Brian and we would talk together more in between doors than at doors. He was doing, in his quite genuine manner, all the sermon anyway.
You are mentioning a few characters from Streatham cong. I remember Bro. Rastall, he wasn't exactly a youth but, or because of it, he reminded the brothers, from the platform, how happy they were, as spring was coming, to see the young sisters in light dresses again... remember also Bro. Mac Callum, and his so much younger wife.
Still Wondering, I read the post you wrote 6 months back about Brian LOCKING, about his having been removed several times from eldership on account of his musical carreer and hardly attending anymore. It's really heart wrenching because I can imagine Brian's distress right now. I could see when I knew him that he was taking his religion really seriously, gave 40 plus years of his life to what he earnestly considered as a sacred service, living most economically for the sake of it. Fortunately he was surrounded, when in Streatham, by supportive friends. I remember an elderly dignified so-English sister who seemed to look after this confirmed bachelor as if he were her son. And also this couple, Denis the drummer in his JW pub band and his wife (Patricia ?) who both seemed to be very close to him. Dear Brian, so honest.

We were very good friends together when we both attended Streatham Hill congregation, in the late seventies, he used to play with a JW band at The Green Man pub somewhere in South London

Welcome Dave,
since you are from Wales, is Brian (Liquorice) LOCKING, one time (62-63) The Shadows' bassist, still pioneering there ? I was told so about 2 years ago

Thanks Blondie,
The writers of such worn out articles can just as well pick up and paste together bits of previous similar articles and change a little the arrangement of paragraphs. There is strictly nothing new in those "study"articles, which betrays a cruel shortage of imagination, initiative and scholarship in the current writing dpt and reveals the definitive downhilll trend of the WTS.
this was a favorite way of getting away from the very unloving "loving brothers and sisters".
hide in the toilets, no one can collar you and tell you off.
and even better you won't be in amongst a group of people but still feeling so alone... at least you will actauly be alone!.
The best bit is the feeling of relief that it's over when I get to drive away.
Reminds me of that elder trying, during midweek meeting, to convince us about how wonderful attendind meetings was and how much good those were doing to us. He said something like "who among us, brothers and sisters, hasn't experienced this, that we didn't feel for leaving home to go to the KH after a work day but, at the end of the meeting, felt so much better, satisfied". i'm pretty sure that quite a few "brothers and sisters" were then thinking what Sapphy says.
so ladies ?
what are you looking for in a man, emotionally, physically, and mentally in a relationship ?
yeah, i know, all the good ones are taken !
Momzcrazy,
A saying goes that when there are several motivations for something, one suffices and supersedes all the others. Hmm, what may be yours ?
i've been reading this forum a for some time now.
since i find myself on a crossroad i decided to start participating.
i was at gilead in 1980 and remember standing in de elevator alone with ray franz, how just gave us a lecture.
Welcome, Not Sure Yet,
you are very honestly expressing your inner feelings on the board, so why wouldn't you simply let your husband and children read your posts ? that would be a short cut and save you many words of explanations to them. After the first shock they will probably want to discuss openly your, and the whole family's new situation. I can see only benefits to this straightforward way of handling the case.
