    I was thinking about a Bible study my mom's friend had when we were just getting in the BORG.....It was with a woman who had several kids and lived in a real old run down house. I was about 10 and the oldest kid among them, so I had to watch all the kids while they studied. My lil brother was 3 and he had to go to the bathroom....well I took him in there and aparently they had no plumbing, so the toilet was FULL of Sh*t and there were buckets of it in there too.....EWWWWWWWW....my brother was very upset too and refused to go. And I tried to tell my mom, but she shushed me and made me leave the room. So I took the kids outside and let my brother go by a tree. Then we walked by their barn and there was a pig or goat or some animal hanging in the bard.....dead. It wasn't a smoke house either, it looked sadistic. I was SOOOO freaked out, but when you are a JW you have to study with anyone who is interested, right? I would NEVER put my children in those situations....It goes against all my mothering instincts.

    When I was older and pregnant, a sister handed over this weird-o woman for me to study with since she lived near me and that way I could keep up with my time. Well, she was smoking when I was there...didn't even care that I was pregnant...like 8 mo's...and she said she really needed some food, so I had to bring her meals...HOW STUPID! I ended up giving her over to my mom(since she really seems to love the weird ones) and eventually she stopped the study because this woman was calling a sex or psycic hotline from my parents house. (My mom would leave her there with the kids so she could clean for her and in return my mom gave her stuff...typical of my DUB mom) Ahhhh....Good times, good times!

    Hi Megsmomma,

    I don't really have an extrordinary FS story but your's made me think....

    Of course the WTS doesn't discourage approaching the "weird" ones.... perhaps because everyone should be counted as worthy of hearing the Good News... but perhaps because without the social "outcasts", how big would the orginization really be?

    Let's be honest, who here really "fit into" the world even before they became witnesses. Despite the poor children born into this religion and who are screwed from the get-go... Just about every witness brother that I ever knew was a total dork. It's my hunch that they were like that before becoming a witness and the culture of dubs only reinforced their "dorkness"

    I would imagine that the typical JW male youth has a lot in common with "Trekkies" and "Star Wars" geeks.... Just more misfits looking for something to belong to or get passionate about, regardless of it being science fiction (movies or religion)

    Plus there's chicks there... those assemblies are absolute desperate, horny, sister meat markets!!!!

    Sorry, got on a role and got off topic.... I may be free but guess I'm still a dork too!

    That is very true. My grandparets always comment on how all the people that my mom knows are strange...or depressed. If your not weird before you get into it, likely through the journey you'll get that way! I do think the young ones get married early because you realize if you don't by the time you are 19...the only guys to choose from are the real dorks....no offense Gordon! LOL!

    I went along on a bible study of a 19 yr old girl who was illiterate. She was pregant and living with the father of the her child who was in his late 40's, and he / they were also living with another girl of about 22 who had had 2 children by the same man.

    It was very creepy.

    The man had been having a bible study with my dad on and off for years. My dad was a freak magnet too!

    I don't really have anything wierd that happened, but I havn't been at it 'very' long.


    But to defend myself, I was born into it, AND I like Star Trek :P .

    But I'm not nerdy about it. I value it as an icon in television history. The plots are amazing and interesting. The acting is quite good for it's time. And the special effects were also great. I'm one of the few 'youngins' that can appreciate the old school stuff.

    But I'd never put on spock ears, a blue shirt, and go around with my hands in the Vulcan salute.

    I might attend a convention though ^^ .

    Only for the video games, of course!
