In all my years, I only had one study( didn't really want this one). I was going to his apartment and I caught his dad filling in his bald spot with eyeliner. His dad was a weak witness, but ever since then, I would notice his dads "black shine" under the halls flourecent lights.
Did you ever have a weird bible/book study?

Not til' years later that I found out that my bible studies should not have been 2 1/2 to 3 hours long, only an hour, they were torture!
That was torture. That how mine started out, then I asked to be switched with someone else.

Come to think of it, I probably am the "weird Bible study"
-always asking questions about things I'm not supposed to know
-refuse to spank my daughter for being noisy at the Kingdom Hall
Oh yeah, and when I first started studying they would come early Saturday morning and I'd still be in my pjs.

This one will crack you up!
We were at the book study at this old sister?s house, and she had an old dog that had a habit of letting off silent but deadly farts. At the end of the study I was closing in prayer. Now comic timing normally has to be planned but this is a winner! During the prayer for no particular reason I started going on about how Satan has poisoned the air of this system of things, and I swear at that exact moment the dog let off the smelliest fart I have ever known. Well, I tried to prevent myself from laughing but just stood there silently trying to compose myself ? you know how difficult that is when you are desperate to laugh in a situation where you are not supposed to ? then the sister next to me just burst out laughing and that was it, I cracked. Well I laughed for about 2 minutes before I could blurt out the compulsory ending ??through Jesus name! Amen.?
It was a corker. Within 5 minutes after the study the elder was round to give me counsel about blah blah blah, you know the stuff. Pure joy.

Ah... yet another wonderful memory resurrected from the wonderful world of DumbDome Halls. Another book study: a different elder, and, naturally, off his bleedin' head.
Every single week he would say, "I am just thinking of one word..." And that was it, no matter how long it took we had to find out what that one word was before we could move on. It would be one word in the section we were studying. Now all of the less pedantic amongst had real fun with this, as you can imagine...
"Is the word... erm... Bethel?" No. "Wild Beast?" No, no. "Oh hang on, erm... Oh I know, Organisation!" NO non no! Etc.

well.. when my ex and i were studying to be baptized in 1991 the conductor ( who was one of the elders on bill bowens appeal commitee) said at one study that the watchtower bible and tract society might not always be Jehovahs channel of life and to always question and always be alert . i wish i remembered his exact wording but it sure raised my eyebrows when he said that.my blood kinda ran cold and it was like a twighlight zone moment. i'd been a witness my entire life just hadnt been baptized till i was in my 20s at the insistance of my ex .the thought that the watchtower society might not always be the way to be a jehovahs witness had NEVER crossed my mind before then. now it seems like the wisest comment anyones ever made to me before.

I started to have a study when I was 17 because I wanted to get baptised , and it was 2 pioneers who were similar ages to me that were a similar age to me that were assigned to do my study. The first few times we done all the studying, then after that we would spend longer and longer watching cartoons before we went up to my room, and then would just sit reading my motorbike magazines, then realise we had run out of time and have to leave it til next time. We had a good laugh though.
