Learning surprising things about the jws
by greendawn inafter you left the jws and entered your post wts era what sort of things did you learn about them that you found surprising?
there are some recent jws that haven't even heard of russell or even rutherford let alone of their objectionable conduct especially that of rutherford.
or they don't know anything about malawi and mexico, the ray franz incident and the witchhunt of the early 80's, or the organ transplant ban.

I didn't realise how actively and deliberately dishonest many sections of the publications were. In my opinion, to lie to or mislead someone who trusts you is practically unforgivable. Specifically: the trinity booklet, How Did Life Get Here, that pack of lies that was that booklet on the orgs history (forget the name), anything on chronology and the weasely retractions over 1975 and This Generation, passing the blame onto the r&f.

Danny, the French spelling is just as chaotic if not worse.
but the pronunciation is at least consistent, if confusing (to my ear anyhoo).
On a very minor point (I can't top what Pole said), I'd like to see the apostrophe taken out into the back garden and put out of its misery. The poor little thing has to be one of the most abused items in the english language, and even reasonably bright people get its useage wrong sometimes, especially in "its" when used as a posessive pronoun. Let's get rid of it and save the confusion.

S*its about to hit the fan with my in-laws
by pratt1 inbrief history:.
both my wife and i have faded from the borg for about 10 years.
we still maintain close relationhips with the dubs in our family on both sides.. my wife's sister has not only faded, but she has become an ordained minster, thus my mother in law calls her an "apostate" and refuses to have any contact with her.. her 4 year old daughter will stay with my family for about 2 weeks in august.

What Crumpet said. The relationship between the sisters would be destroyed if the truth were to come out. And you're going to have to ask a 4 year old child to be in on the deception, to keep a secret from her own mother.
Good luck reasoning with your wife.

Hi Ballistic, I think we were both talking to Nicolaou the other day, but don't think we've had this conversation ourselves. I only relatively recently moved to where I am now, long after me JW-ing days were over.

Were you thinking they might want to use this technique to preserve the governing body?
I enjoyed the contrast between the headline and picture (zombies and snarling viscious dog picture) with the reasonably measured tone of the article.

What words and phrases do Brits and others see as 'American'?
by sonnyboy inas an american, i see words such as cheerio, blimey, bloody (when referring to something negative), loo, bugger, fag (cigarette), etc.
as chiefly british (i suppose they are).. what words and/or phrases do you consider to be chiefly american?
i'm honestly unaware of which words i use that may not be used in other english-speaking countries.

roflmfao Sherri. That's gold
I do like the merry-can way of saying "HELLO?" as a standalone ejaculation, to indicate that the person they're talking to is like, y'know, kinda dum (<--- or stupid as we say in the Queen's english)
