Well here is a new batch of JW urban legends (oops, I mean experiences) I just got in the e mail. Thought I would share the joy and lighten your day ;-)
A sister took her granddaughter to the Circuit Assembly with her.
Later that evening at home, the sister told her granddaughter to get
ready to have her bath. When the sister came back into the bathroom,
she noticed that her granddaughter had gotten in the bathtub with her
watch on. The sister said, "Oh, no honey, you have to take your watch
off too." Her granddaughter said, "No, I can't!". The sister asked why
and the little girl responded, "Because the brother said in his talk
today that we have to 'Keep on the watch'!"

A couple went out of town to attend a quickbuild. They stayed in a
local hotel along with other visiting friends.
When they were ready to leave, they went to the front desk to pay their
bill.
The hotel owner said, "Don't worry about it. You bill has already been
paid." How did this happen? The man explained, "Many people in the
town thought that you couldn't build your Kingdom Hall in just two days,
so I took their bets. All of your bills have been more than taken care
of."

A little brother was in the ministry and said that he had a return
visit.
An older brother accompanied him. When the man opened the door and saw
the little boy, he said, "I told you before that I'm not interested in
your magazines and yet you keep coming back."
The little brother said, "But I have different magazines this time,
Sir."
So the man said, "Alright, I'll take them but remember, I'm NOT
interested,"
and he closed the door. As the two brothers left the door, the little
one said, "Wait, I have to write this down." The older brother was
curious as to what he was writing, so he looked over his shoulder and
watched as the little brother wrote, "Placed two magazines with man who
PRETENDS not to be interested."

A brother who was blind was able to get around by means of a seeing eye
dog.
Eventually the brother passed away, and his dog was passed on to another
man who lived nearby. The man began to notice that, like clockwork, on
every Tuesday and Thursday evening, the dog would position himself next
to the front door. The man was puzzled, so one day he decided he would
follow where the dog would lead. The dog, of course, led his new master
right to the Kingdom Hall.
The man did not know where he was, but the people seemed very friendly,
so he decided to stay and listen.
After the meeting, the man accepted a Bible study and he is now our
brother.
The Bethel speaker ended this experience by saying, "Now, if a DOG can
find his way to the meetings... well, you get the idea." :)

A brother was getting ready to put his young daughter to bed and say
prayers with her. When he got to her bedroom door, he saw that she had
already begun to pray, so he stood at the door and listened. The
daughter mentioned a few things in her prayer, and then began to recite
the entire alphabet. Once she was finished, her father went in and
asked why she recited the alphabet.
"Well," the little girl said, "There are many things that I want to say,
but I don't know the words, so I gave Jehovah all of the letters of the
alphabet so he can figure out what I want to say."

A sister who lives in a country where the work is still under ban was on
her way home. While she was walking, she was discreetly witnessing to
people that she came across. She noticed a strange man following her,
so she began to walk faster and eventually lost him.
Later, when she was at the bus stop, she saw that the man had caught up
with her, and he proceeded to follow her onto the bus, and sit directly
behind her. He began to say obscenities to her as well as derogatory
things about the witnesses. A woman who was sitting next to the sister
and had heard all of the things the man said stood up and announced, "Is
there anyone MAN enough to throw this rude man off of the bus?" Two men
obliged her request and threw the man off of the bus, and the sister was
able to get home safely.
