How did I get away with it??
by home_and_dry inthe more i read on this board, the more it makes me wonder how on earth i managed to escape the jw's without being df'd.
i was baptized in 1990 aged 15. i was df'd in 1991 and was reinstated after only 2 months 'out' and a further 3 months of returning to the meetings.. two years after being reinstated, i knew i wanted out but couldn't bear the thought of being df'd again.
so i found a flat to rent and moved out of my jw parents home.

How can I help my elder dad?
by home_and_dry inmy dad has been an elder for many many years and he is a good man.
he was always there for me even when i got df'd, and after i was reinstated i eventually drifted away and still now he is there for me.
he accepts the fact that i am in a relationship but not married and have two children.

UK posters - pedophile documentary tonight
by home_and_dry inthis isn't in any way jw related, but will anyone be watching 'the hunt for britains pedophiles' which starts tonight?
from what i have heard about it, it supposed to be extremly shocking and disturbing, as the bbc got to shadow the scotland yard pedophile unit for two years and this documentary is the end result.
it is supposed to be no holds barred and designed to shock, but in an effort to make more people aware of how huge the issue is here in the uk.

Downloading TV shows??
by home_and_dry ini was just wondering how to go about downloading a tv show from the internet.
it's only because the show i want to watch is a season behind the u.s. and i can't wait for u.k.tv to catch up.. i have tried kazaa which does have the shows but i can never get a download, its all just remotely queing.
and they don't have much of a choice in downloads either, so i just give up!.

Great online games for kids
by home_and_dry incheck out www.orisinal.com
each box has a different game, and my kids totally love them.
there are a couple of 'shooting games' but most of them feature cute characters and the design is really sweet.

Weight Loss Drug Xenical
by home_and_dry ini've just been reading about jlob and his amazing success with losing weight and i thought i would share my experience with you.. although it's not much of an experience yet, as i have have only just begun my weight loss programme.
i was never what you would call slim but after having kids i have pretty much piled on the pounds.
i've managed to live in denial for a couple of years, hiding the scales and blaming the tumble dryer for shrinking clothes when i can't fit into them anymore!!.

JW Molestation info needed for UK radio show
by home_and_dry inhi all.. i recently emailed a radio dj here in the uk who has a late night phone in show.
he is a great bloke, not afraid of touching issues that others won't.. i told him briefly about the peodophile issue amongst jw's.
he replied, saying that he was very interested in the issue and has asked for more info.. i feel that i am not the best qualified to act as spokesperson on this, and there are plenty of people here who can explain the situation better than i can.. so what i am asking is for any of you to explain the issue here in this thread.
