Americans On my Doorstep.
by Englishman inyup, it's true, but these 2 americans are very welcome, because they have flown all the way from the usa just to come to my barbie!.

anyway, they have booked into a b & b next door, and will shortly be joining her ladyship and myself for a trip to the pub.. so all you uk'ers who are arriving for the barbie this sunday, you have been beaten to it by the us of a!.

The Meaning of Names....?
by SpiceItUp inthere are some that are obvious and then others that just baffle me to no end..... yes i am talking about your user names.... do any of you have stories behind them or are they significant for some reason or are they just a word you made up?.
mine...well its easy.... i got the nickname of spicy back in nov of last year when i dyed my hair this crazy red color and the name of the color was "spiced ginger".
the rest of it is because i love to make things more interesting---- sorta of like adding a bit of spice to the stew (hopefully i come across as that as well .

What is the toll of rejection to JW's?
by sleepy inwhat is the toll of rejection to jw's?.
growing up as a witness you face rejection at every corner.. you go to school aged 5 and soon you are invited to a bithday party.you run home excited, but your parents say you cant go , a tell you to say you are a jehovahs witness.after that you friends are never the same , they treat you as someone different.some won't even be your friends anymore.you go through school having to miss holidays , religious services etc, and you can tell the teachers think you're odd.if your lucky enought to be quite a well balanced personality it may not effect you that much.or does it?.
do the scars of rejection dig deeper than you think?.

Disfellowshipping.....To Protect The Cong?!
by ISP inthats often the reason given by the wts.
yet bill bowen faces excommunication whilst 23,000+ paedophiles remain in the association of jehovah's witnesses.
the wts could hardly care less what happens to little children or what evil pervades the kingdom halls as long as no one tries to disturb the ether.. isp

Newsweek Letter Writer Silenced
by silentlambs inthe following email was sent to me today, if anyone would like to send and encouraging comment to loris i will be glad to forward it to her.
all she did was tell the truth and now she is facing sanction in the congregation.
so according to wt pr you are not sanctioned if you go to the police but you are sanctioned if you talk about it.

What Are They Really Saying Now?
by Englishman ini must confess, i am intrigued as to how panorama has affected the jw's who watched it.
my old pal, mr dub-in-the-pub, just shook his head miserably over his guinness after denying having seen it.
now he wants to borrow the video recording i made.

Would you welcome a pity visit?
by kenpodragon inwith all the talk about shunning in the religion, i was wondering if anyone remembered that the elders occasionally visit the shunned?
i call these "pity visits", in that they are basically going down to the slums to see if the lepers want some medicine to lessen the pain.. .
it seems to me that such a visit would be very insulting, not so much because of the above thought.
