  LOL. I see...you have been generous with posting a lot of yourself here, including photos. I can imagine you get some unwanted PMs....

  In fact I think I got my first PM here after some 5-6 months, and I'm OK with that! In fact I got it from Britain!

  Since english is not my native language I probably express myself like a child or like an "idiot" sometimes! But I have to live with that! :-P

  I think Cyrus is in to something important....a negative experience that reduces the defences/the cognitive dissonance. Leaving a culd is not just about critical thinking.

  It could be a good start to take things easy. But I think things are easier now then when I became inactive almost 25 years ago! No iternet to connect to people with. But yes.....you are very straightforward, I think it is wise to be a bit careful with new contacts.

  You could also get a new hobby, I stated with music when I became inactive!

  I think secret/closed Facebook groups are a good place to meet new people. Of course JWN is good, but here we are anonymous. I am sure there are some FB groups in Britain. I know there is a lot of nice britsh people here at JWN, understand you've got to know some of them. That's a good start! :-)

  I wish you the best with new friends.

  Sweden is now operated frm the danish bethel.

  I think it will be very difficult to sell the property/facilities unless they accept a very low price. It's situated outside a small town , Arboga, not a very attractive area.

  The "old" swedish bethel was situated an a suburb of Stockholm, and was easy to sell. The old Betel in Jakobsberg is nowdays Santa Maria kyrkcentrum! (Saint Mary's church center) :-D

  if satan is the #1 apostate, and apostates are not to be talked to, why then did jesus even talk to him?.

  why did jesus, if he is supposed to be our example, even talk to him?.

  why doesn't the bible say "and satan tried to talk to jesus, and jesus ignored him.

  Jesus did not know the rules written by Paul and James! Those rules were written after his death!
