  I can honestly say, i've never heard of the bowling thing. Maybe that didn't happen in my neck of the woods. However, on Xmas day, all the good little dubbies would go up to the mountain, and pretty much take it over to go skiing. Everywhere you looked....witnesses.

  but if has not i would laugh my ass of again.

  Oh, according to my parents, in my monthly guilt phone call, Armageddon is right around the corner. Sign of the Times, blah blah blah. When 9-11 happened, my mom said that it was just a sign that the end was near, and that we had to rejoice that Paradise was surely right around the corner. (Of course, with that, I was told I'd better start going back to meetings, or else I was going to die, too) She did not show any sort of feelings for the thousands of people that died, only felt bad for the few witnesses that died...but that's okay too, since they'll be resurrected. That was one of the final straws for me. Normally, I sit and listen to her go on and on about the "truth", and smile and nod...but, to not show compassion for 9-11....I can't deal with that.

  I have friends in Manhattan that were there...they can't even talk about it. I sat and cried for WEEKS, watching the coverage on TV. How could that NOT affect you? I don't understand the witness way of thinking. You should NOT rejoice at thousands of innocent people dying, no matter if you think it's a precurser for "GREAT TIMES IN PARADISE".

  What's happened to the preaching work?

  by Dark Knight in

  something happened the other night that got me thinking.

  i met a christian in one of the local malls and he did the usual preaching about jesus routine, trying to convince me that i am a sinner and how i need jesus and all that jazz.

  he wasn't a jw, but rather he was from one of the local revivalist churches.. now what i'm thinking is that i've been out of the org for almost three years now.

  I've been out around 10 years. In that time, I've only been called on twice, and that is because my father called the local elders of whichever town I was living, and had them come do a "shepherding" call on me. The last set of elders that did this would not take no for an answer, and tried to push thier way in. Yeah, that didn't go over well.

  I have NEVER gotten called on by any regular publishers, in any of the places I've lived. I never see anybody that looks like they might be a witness (all dressed up in bad suits) around town on Saturday mornings, either.

  Words you invented, or said the wrong way

  by JH in

  do you have your own way of saying things, your own words for describing things?

  for example, i don't say alzheimer disease, i say old timers disease.

  why not, usually only old people get that.

  Mac-

  Thanks for the clarification.

  I KNOW what i'm saying is chest of drawers. Thanks, I did have SOME education.

  I'm only saying that most people think it's funny I call them that, instead of Dresser Drawers.

  Chestadrawer instead of dresser drawer. I don't know where it came from, but that's what I always call them, and I get ridiculed.

  Also, i'm now programmed to say "soda" when I ask for a coke, pepsi, whatever. I grew up calling it "pop", but apparently that is not allowed in California.

  I know there are other things I say that come out wrong sometimes....My parents watched PBS (thus, BBC shows) all the time when i was little, so I tend to call things by the British name. It's pathetic, really. I even started spelling things all proper english in school. (glamour, theatre, etc.)

  I really need a life.

  Azzie,

  You wouldn't last a day in my house. The cats are ALWAYS bringing in mice. Little Luna has to save them, because I can't bear to see them killed, so i'm always picking them up and letting them back outside. I think you'd have a heart attack if you witnessed that.

  LW-

  I'm with you!! These are the spiders that are currently taking over our house, yard, barn, etc. They're DISGUSTING, and wicked fast:
