  2. entertainment

  since i was last on, have recently started having a social life - amazing how much computer time life can take up.. thought i'd let you all know that i am getting on great, getting fit, going to the gym and dragon boating (look it up) and some rugby too.

  and making new friends while i'm at it, will not forget all of you though and will keep popping in to see how everyone is even if i don't always post lots :).

  after the lemon and limes question...

  it reminded me of my question about olives and grapes.. my hubby says that green olives and black olives are the same, they start off green and get riper through to a reddy colour and then go black.

  he says its the same for grapes.

  is he pulling my leg?.

  Am I being dumb?

  2. child-abuse

  i really and truly believe that my father did not abuse either of my two younger sisters, just me.

  my one sister was abused by my brother, which makes me think he was abused so as to act like that.. i left the jw's after finding he could get responsibilities again and because i realised that i would always be viewed as bad association no matter how hard i tried because i just didn't fit in.. i never wanted to take it any further than the congregation because i did not want to rip my family apart.. but if i had a child i would not let him alone with them.. can someone just abuse one victim (maybe two if my bro was abused as i think he was)?

  or do they always abuse more?.

  607 to 1914 calculation question

  by bluebell in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is there any culture that actually used years of 360 days length?

  if so, surely there would still be some kind of leap year to correct the calendar, why is that not taken into account?

  i'd never thought about it when i was a dub because you're not supposed to think!
