  Me? Write a book? Seven, you must be kidding. I'm no good on the creative story writing. I've done a few poems in my time but my stories are just dire so I've decided to spare humanity from them.
  You are right thought, we do have a rather mixed assortment don't we? Seems to work well though!
  I'm not going to 'welcome Angharad to the board' because I speak to her every day anyway...she is my wife after all
  She's new(ish) to the Internet (apart from Amazon) so go easy on her...oh, and if she tells you all anything about me I'll just deny it

  Question for Women.

  by spectromize in

  why is it so hard to read what a woman is really thinking?

  and what are the no no's when trying to ask a woman for a date and how do you know a woman is interested in you?.

  i would really appreciate help, seems i lack in the right touch, tonight i was just told off by a cute lady, i honestly didn't recognized her and made the mistake of telling her so.

  Hi SC
  Good to hear from you.
  I can understand what you're going through with the shunning...we get the same thing off most of them (although some will still talk to us).
  Doesn't sound like it's weighing you down too much though
  Look forward to hearing from you when you get time.

  They just seem to be abandoning all pinciples and making deals with governments, reducing pioneer hours to get more people to do it, trying to play the media re: blood etc...
  Just a change from their typical or past behaviour or maybe it's just that they are now being found out more.

  I can't wait for this years figures to come out...should make fascinating reading.
  They must be pretty awful for them - it would explain the desparate measures that they are taking.

  It's not going to be one of those "rumours of my death have been greatly exagerated" things is it?

  Hey, it's late, I'm tired, what more can I say?
  Hope you didn't take offence ! I know I shouldn't show disrespect when someone has died.

  I did 'statistics' at school but I can't remember much of it.
  Do you mean the suff like '20% interviewed expressed a preference (10% margin of error)'?
  Maybe best just try a sample and see how we all get on.

  Maybe they'll just make a sequel...
  "GB II - The Wrath of God"
  or how about:
  "FDS II - Die Harder"

  One for the road

  so i've been trying to slowly fade away, just going to meetings on sundays, and even then its been hit and miss.

  i figure the daniel book is a write off with 607 figuring prominently along with all the "fulfillments" based on it, and since i'm not going out in service, the tms/sm is a waste of time.. even sundays play out like a broken record, the wt study articles show no sign of real change, but a clinging to power and a re-defining of wt history.

  the public talks are sheer fantasy.. the sad thing is, i like the people, and perhaps even the concept is attractive.

  It's hard isn't it ?
  There are people that I really care about and miss terribly but I cannot stand to sit there and listen to lies. I get emotional and angry and I'm afraid I'd make a scene.
  Also, I want my two sons to be brought up as 'normal' people instead of in some crazy cult - I don't want them to have to go through the same things that I did.
  At the end of the day though, what we do is up to each one of us. What is right for one person is wrong for someone else. For some, the 'truth' is just what they need in their lives.
  I guess it's all part of the human condition.
