Hehe I noticed today that the feeding instructions on the back of the catfood said "Cats rarely overeat, so feed your cat whenever it wants to be fed"... one of ours eats 3 times as much as he should as he always appears just as another is being fed and pesters until he gets something! He's hefty, bless him. :)

I was raised to *really* value and be careful with all books, so aside from writing my name and congregation in the study book/Bible, I *never* ever underlined a JW book or magazine.
I did my pre-study in the school library instead of doing RE - it took all of about about 10 minutes at most (out of 50 or 70 minute lesson, so I got got some good-quality book-reading-time too :)), I mean the answers are right there in the paragraph and you only have to remember the content of the paragraph for a few moments until the answer or remember a scripture... not even as hard as the easier lessons at school at that age!
If I had to write something down (scriptures etc), I wrote in a notebook... then doodled in the notebook all meeting! :D -

What first gave you doubts ?
by rick1199 inwe all know the big problems with the wts, but what was the first thing that made you realise there were problems with the organisation ?
with me it was realitivly small stuff like an 8 year old getting baptised and a comment my best mates made about another of our friends asking if we should be hanging round with her as she might be bad assciation (she had just been reproved, but they had been mates 20 years).. .
how ever the first time i ever thought something was really wrong was when i was about 11 and my grand farther died, and mu mum wouldn't go to the funeral, i remeber thinking that surely it was better to say good bye properly than worry about if the service was in a church.. .

I didn't believe being a JW meant you were good - so many JWs were Bad Associations (decided by myself - I wanted to be *good*, the "good JW" elder's kids who got up to all sorts my Worldly friends didn't etc), and my Worldy friends might have swore and celebrated Christmas, but they were good kids, and they didn't think that no matter what they did they were still better than other people. I thought this when I was very very small - I used to hope that Armageddon came while I was having a sleepover so my friends could come to the KH with us!
Some JWs who were *truly* wonderful people helped us out when we were homeless - many of them were since disfellowshipped or disassociated. The mother of a girl I used to play with was disfellowshipped for remarrying because her bastard of a husband wouldn't admit he'd cheated on her even though he was still with (officially by then) the Pioneer he'd been screwing behind her back. That showed me that *good* people left, and perhaps there were more reasons to be kicked out that just for being Evil.
Time away from meetings truly broke the spell and it all seemed more and more ridiculous, but Panorama still knocked me sideways... :( -

Q for Brits...Britpop New Labour
by Huxley ini just finished watching a documentary entitled, "live forever".
(no intentional jw reference there..) it was about the time period in the early 90's to about 97 when britpop was huge.. i've been listening to a lot of music from that period lately.
early stone roses, pulp, etc...the whole britpop thing went pretty much unnoticed here, actually a fellow bethelite introduced me to a lot of it..he snuck out to see echobelly when they played in nyc!.

1989 to 1997 were great years for music - well for me as I loved Indie and 1989 was when I started to appreciate it as a nipper (Stone Roses, Happy Mondays).
Blur come from wealthier backgrounds and are uni graduates - I think that much is true - but if was more a North vs soft-Southerner type thing. Blur have been around quite a bit longer than Oasis and were cleverer than them with their lyrics etc - though I've never really got into them, I was a massive Oasis fan. Noel(?) Gallagher once said he hoped 2 members of Blur "get AIDS" which wasn't nice, but it was all good PR - though Oasis could easily have battered Blur and I'm sure they genuinely wanted to. Blur didn't seem to say a lot back to them. The media hyped up a simulataneous single release in 1995 though - Blur won but at least partly due to a cockup with the barcodes on the Oasis CDs or something.
Labour kinda jumped on the bandwagon - especially with Tony Blair being a young leader, they invited all the trendy people to number 10 and things - it was "Cool Britannia". Brit Pop as it was was dying by the time Labour got in, well in comparison to say 1990 or 1995 it was.
The Tories had been in power my whole life -I was a JW *and* below voting age so I didn't vote in New Labour, but I was thrilled as it was obviously a Good Thing - but Labour have been a massive let-down... and Cool Britannia was really just embarrassing "Cool Dad" :)
Stone Roses we incredible. I need to go and listen to them now! -

Though it wouldn't suprise me if they didn't even know - well *believe* - what it was. -

Can someone copy it for me? Or get me a real copy?
Maybe someone could put the .iso on a filesharing network (slsk or winmx please) or make a Torrent of it? If someone does I will share/seed it too once I have it. -

My dad smoked roll-up cigarettes and his cat Pounce used to go mad for the foil wrappers the tobacco came in He'd play fetch with them. (Probably addicted to the nicotine but it was cute and he lived to a ripe old age :) )
Thanks for the advice about Minnie. At the moment I'm putting her outside at 9pm and only letting her in just as I'm going to bed - but this only works *most* of the time. I'm definitely going to try putting a litter box by my bed.
She's only about 3 and a half and she's up to date with her vaccinations and worming, etc, so I don't think there's anything more sinister than habit/laziness/fear of going all the way to the litter box under the stairs. Pounce had kidney problems, so we do keep an eye out of the others. -

Minnie (sicky cat) *is* extremely traumatised. We got her because the week before Christmas 2001 she was crying on our windowsill for a week - we didn't let her in right away in case she belonged to someone. she was scared then and is only slightly better now. God knows what her previous owners did to her or what happened as a stray.
She's afraid of everything. She's *very* attached to me but will sometimes cry out in fear if I touch her. She sleeps *in* my bed and literally *clings* to my arm all night. The only problem with this is that despite having a litter box she sometimes gets out from under the covers, walks to the bottom of the bed *does a wee* then gets back in bed again. And I don't realise until my feet get wet!
