Tell Old School Friends That You've Left?
by Englishman insome of the uk national newspapers have been referring to the web-site at http://friendsreunited.co.uk/, where thousands and thousands of brits have been getting back in touch with old school friends.. just out of curiosity i decided to take a peek.
well, i was stunned.
many long-forgotten class-mates had my mind leaping back to the early 60s, particularly when they mentioned the weird nicknames that we had given to our teachers.. the french master, froggy fleuriot, mousy mclaughlan with his rats teeth, bummer burrell well, i will leave that one to your imagination.

How important is it to love someone in your life?
by Mindchild inhow important is it to have someone special in your life?.
when i was a regular pioneer, i was constantly hearing that i should put off getting involved with any romantic relationships because i would want to spend all my time with my new love, and i would give up serving as a pioneer.. after i left the borgs cuckoos nest, i still had to put off getting romantically involved in long-term relationships because of wanting to be a full time college student.
later in life, i put off involvement again because of career options.

"Scene of the world is changing"
by Blackcat ini recently had the pleasure of working on a house which also had a visit from the jw,s.. as i was working away, i had a "listening ear" or should i say i overheard bits of the conversation, the main sentence being from the male jdub...." the scene of the world is changing".
this was so comical as he repeated it around 5 times in 3 minutes!
!, now i can remember from the ministry school the term "repitition for emphasis" but this was getting soooo predictable.. my question is this a variation used by jw,s as an alternative to "the last days" term in which i used as a teenage jw ?

My Username says it all.......
by out4good3 ini only got into being a dub after marrying a woman who grew up in it but was never baptised.
her father was the typical overbearing elder, in it primarily for the prestige, but never practicing what he preached.
after a few years into the marraige she had what could best be described as a so called very emotional "spiritual awakening" in a meeting i accompanied her with to a couple of brothers.

"Don't Touch Him With A Bargepole"
by Englishman inthere's been lots of talk here lately, about "fading away" from the jw faith so's not to be df'd and shunned, thereby keeping your family intact.. some people have mentioned that it is a good idea to, perhaps, move away from an area so that you can slip out of the jw belief system un-noticed.. i do recall however, from my days as a "servant", that it was normal practise for a po from the congregation of the departing one(s) to write a letter of introduction to the po of the receiving congregation, so that he could also advise the new congregation elders as to his opinion of the spiritual health of the new arrivals.. as a point of interest, when the brother who had been best man at my first marriage, who was also the ministry school servant, moved into southampton, the po told the new congregation elers not to trust their new arrival, "don't touch him with a bargepole" went the letter.
he, (the ms servant), was a touch miffed at this.. so, i was wondering, is it still normal for this sort of letter exchange to take place between the 2 congregations involved?.
also, if that is so, how can it be an easy option to swop congregations in order to fade away?

Screen Name vs Character
by Amazing insince my character is part of the issues that have been addressed by several posters, i thought that i would clear this up:.
teejay said: conclusion: no more insulting than you when you mentioned that one has to wonder about someone who'd pick the screen name "amazing.".
i am not sure if teejay shares agreement with what he quoted, but for discussion sake, i will treat it as though he does.
