Have the UK JWs been stepping up their patrols lately?
by figureheaduk inhi everyone, sorry i've not been here for ages............... anyways, lately our house has been fetting quite a few knocks on the door by a jw who lives on my street.
sometimes he's alone, sometimes he's accompanied, but the odd thing is is that before we could go months without a visit from the wt's foot soldiers, and now lately we've been getting visits once or twice a week.
if we realise it's them we don't answer the door, but every now and then we get caught off guard and have to explain nicely that we're busy and not really interested.

Celebs you look like
by berylblue inokay, so i got annoyed yesterday when someone told me i looked like debra winger.
i find her most unfeminine and unattractive.
but it doesn't piss me off half as much as when i'm told i look like liza minelli.

Question about Governing Body
by figureheaduk ini remember flicking through my ex girlfriends copy of the "proclaimers" book back last year, and there was a page with the pictures of the gb at the time (roundabout 1992 with henschel, jaracz et al).
apart from noticing that the gb was totally comprised of males (well, with the wt's almost neanderthalitic view of women, you wouldnt expect a female contingent within the gb would you?
), i noticed that they all seemed to be white, and, judging by some of the names, probably american.

Fame Academy - BBC
by nightwarrior inwell this is a programme that we would not normally watch, but.... our eldest son's best friend is on - paris - it is really strange watching him.. how sad are we - we are even watching bbc3 at 7pm, just to catch a glimpse of him, ( i am sure that the novelty will soon wear off)!!!!
oh well.... thought i would post this little piece of useless information.
a little light relief.

What if JWs had never been part of your life......?
by Scully inprisca's topic about personal responsibility vs blaming the jws (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/56286/824979/post.ashx#824979) got me to thinking..... where do you think you'd be if the jws and the wts had never been part of your life?how would your life be different from what it is now?what do you think you might have accomplished or done differently without the encumberances of the jws in your life?what kind of relationship would you have with your family?who would you be?.
there are no right or wrong answers, but think about those what-i-want-to-be-when-i-grow-up ideas you had as children and whether those dreams could have become a reality.. .
love, scully
