What about the one that the Led Zeppelin song "Stairway to Heaven" was written after he dated a Witness girl.

All great deeds and all great thoughts have ridiculous beginnings--Albert Camus

A brother was trying to quiet the little barking dog on someones porch where he rang the bell to witness. He hit the dog with his bookbag and the dog died. He stuffed the dog into his book bag and quickly left. This story was going around the hall about 10 years ago.

A pioneer sister met a worldly guy and after some time passed he was baptized. He even began pioneering. They started dating. One morning they were out in service together and happened to be walking across a bridge. She took her bookbag and threw it over the side of the bridge, Watchtowers and Awakes floating away. She looked at him and said, "I am sick of this religion. I'm not going out in service anymore. I've had it." He gave a big sigh of relief and said, "I'm so glad you said that, I was just doing this for you." Of course, the sister just did this as a test to see if he was JW to date her or if it was really in his heart.

Ok...I'm going to try to remember my Smurf stories, which totally freaked me out at slumber parties.

1) A girl was wearing a necklace with a Smurf pendant. All of a sudden the pendant jumped off her neck and the Smurf walked away.

2) A boy had Smurf wallpaper in his bedroom. Late a night, the Smurfs started talking to each other.

3) A boy had a Smurf doll (or is action figure since this is a boy?). Late at night it came to life and walked around his room laughing.

Here is some odd things that happened at meetings in the past. About 15 years ago, a fairly young brother was giving his very first Sunday Public Talk. He was extreamly nervous, but he tried not to show it. On the very front row sat a 300 plus pound sister. She got up to go to the restroom. On her way back to her seat, she sat down. As she sat down, her garter snapped, and flew past, bairley missing the young brother's ear.

The second story happen during the ministry school. The sister, who had the #3 talk was pregnate. Infact she was a week past do. But as a "spirtual" sister she went ahead and did her part. She happen to wearing a maternaty dress, with buttons on the front. As she was walking up to the stage, one of her buttons caught on one of the brothers topay. But being so large she did not see the wig. (Every one else did) She sat down at the table, on the stage and looked down. She noticed, what she thought was a huge furry rat. She jumped up and screamed. The next thing happen, was that her water broke.

judith! i heard that one too! id forgotten all about it during previous urban legend threads. in the version i heard, the brother just playfully flicked his finger at the dog and was so shocked that dog up and died, he stuffed it into his bag before the householder returned (from getting money for the mags i think) and excused himself shamefully, only to confess his crime on the RV the next week.

ive also mentioned the one a couple times about the pioneer sisters that bought a rolls royce for $50 from a wife selling off possessions from her cheating husband. this is a legend that exists outside the JWs too and comes in many different variants.

Thanks for the ending to the story about the dog. I forgot the part where he confessed.

How ridiculous some of these stories are.

I must have been an absent minded JW mommy cause I let my kids watch the smurfs. Ha! I always forgot that I grounded my children too. They would tell me later when they came in from playing that I had forgotten that I grounded them. So I would just laugh and kiss their little faces and tell them I wouldn't forget next time. But I always did.
