Is getting married in Church a DA'able offense? Ping anyone with BOE manual
by Abaddon inhaving been fairly proud of my jw parent's behaviour (and to be honest, my handling of them) in the 13 years or so since i walked away i now find myself in a quandry.
i basically arranged my departure from the cult in such a manner that i would neither be da'd or df'd, to avoid a situation where their family loyalty might be streached by their adherence to organsiational law.
why should i play by their rules and write a letter leaving an imaginary religion?

Disaster Relief (well, I get round to that eventually, see the bottom)
by Abaddon inhello boys and girls, how's it hanging?.
i have been drowned in a world of work since some point in october and have been gadding around europe on business - netherlands-uk-netherlands-romania-netherlands-france-and back home to holland again.
what started off as me being too busy to read and post became simply not being bothered enough to read or post - not that you're not all wonderful people (albeit some in very a window-lickingly special way), and of course "da bord" serves a great role in helping dubbies decompress from cultville as well as giving a nice forum for argumentative gits.

Chasing rainbows - how I got engaged in Paris
by Abaddon ini took kate, my girlfriend of between the last five and ten years (depending how you define girlfriend) to paris this weekend and proposed.
i had a couple of scenarios mapped out, but was playing it by ear as to the right moment.. on saturday night when we sat down to eat at a restaurant the waiter asked me if i "had got engaged to the lady yet", and then said "if not, i will".
i'm sure he does it to every foreign couple where the women isn't wearing a ring but i could not believe it that one .

Philosophy - is it worth the bother?
by Abaddon ini fully admit to only having dabbled in the waters of philosophy up to now.
i kept on being put off by the smell... .
having said that, is there anyone more clued up than me about the subject who can tell me anything that might make me change my mind?.

UFO Conspiracy Theorist Hacker arrested
by Abaddon inthis made me chuckle; the guy hacked and effectively owned a large number of millitary computers in his attempts to find evidence of a ufo cover-up by the usa government.. results?
$1 billion damage, extradition, and maybe 70 years in jail.
poor bastard.

A Moral Dillema... and ideas?
by Abaddon inokay, background info;.
my ex-wife is threatening to cut contact between me and my daughters (12 and almost 15).. she has done a great job of being the parent with the lions share of rasing them (especialy as she's become inactive) and has always resisted 'excessive' involvement as well as always being resentful and obstructive of contact with them, down to them not feeling comfortable to call me due to her reaction.
last year my x cut off contact for three month as she was 'under stress'... or more accurately, i'd asked to have them for a week in the summer holidays and she can't stand to see me have anything that makes me happy even if it spoils things for her daughters.... this year, in addition to repeating the request for holidays, i spoke to her about a few problems i'd found out about regarding my daughters.

Stepford Wives
by Abaddon in.
how many people think that the wife-droids in the stepford wives are pretty much an idealised representation of the jw wife?.
... well, okay, apart from the rampant sex monster thing... i mean the well-groomed, demure, subservient behind hubbies shoulder where she should be, keeping a perfect home.

Revocation of Independence
by Abaddon ini found this online at www.snopes.com, it's often falsely attributed to john clease.. bloody funny anyway...to the citizens of the united states of america, in light of your failure to elect a competent president of the usa and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today.
her sovereign majesty queen elizabeth ii resumes monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories.
except utah, which she does not fancy.
