    It used to piss my parents off to no end that I could remember lyrics to a song/rap... but couldn't remember scriptures...

    LOl - my ol' man bawled me out over that .. he was a plumber and, bathrooms being such good places to sing - in between 'only the lonely' or 'burning ring of fire' he'd often be humming kingdom melodies. One day we were working in a big fancy mansion and dad suspects them of being witnesses so he starts whistling kingdom tunes real loud. After a while the eldest daughter starts playing "we're Jehovah's Witnesses" on the piano .. talk about a corny way to meet.. lol

    These are the ones I remember and think its quite interesting

    • Matt 24:14 - this good news will be preached blah blah blah Commonly repeated to tell us why we should be going out door to door
    • Matt 28:19,20 - the great commission See above
    • 1 Cor 15:33 - bad associations will spoil useful habits Stick with the organisation, don't become friendly with non JWs. You will become corrupt
    • Rev 21:4,5 - no more tears pain former things have passed away Here's a carrot we can dangle in front of you so you will go out door to door
    • Matt 6:33 - keep on seeking first the kingdom and all these other things will be given to you and another carrot. Do what we tell you to and you good things will come to you.

    I was sooooooo bad at remembering scriptures. My mom actually gave me a lecture at one point because I couldn't even string a couple of books together in proper order. "Lok at xxxxx he's only 3 and can name all the boks in proper order" Blah Blah Blah

    At one time,I counted over 300.It was the only spiritual gift I had (1cor 7:7b). I used to sit with my wife during talks and tell her the next scripture just by the way the talk was going.One time I was doing so good,she asked me how I was doing it.I just said I wrote the talk.She almost believed me,we had a good laugh.Even now she'll ask me for a scripture when she needs it.Other family members do too even though I'm the only one who doesn't attend meetings anymore.
