hey guys, thought i'd introduce myself...... my name is lars, and i'm 22... i'm majoring in education here in florida........ i was brought up as a jw, but i never really got into it... because the political side was so corrupt.... right now i'm just trying my best to be a good person, for myself and for god..... .

i'm a little rough around the edges... i shoot guns, race cars, ride bmx..... etc... so i guess my lifestyle didnt suit the jw's as well...... .

anyways, i searched around for a picture of myself, but i really dont have any "normal" ones......... .

on bank holiday monday just gone, a dear kind older couple in the cong decided to take me and my good lady out for a slap up meal, to try to cheer us up after the recent upheaval in our life.

somehow i ended up with the bill.. anyway, this was the local italian trattoria were we often go, and are on first names terms with the staff and quite a few of the other regulars.

big mistake!!.

my wife and i are new to this forum, and really, we're now new to life as well.

or rather, life is new to us, normal life that is.

i don't want to turn this into a novel (at least, not yet).

what experience at an assembly or convention caused you to raise your eyebrows in disbelief?.

one that comes to mind is a 5 year old conducting several bible studies.

wasn't it hard enough for an adult to get a bible study?

what is the stupidest thing a jw ever told you?

we all know that they say a lot of stupid things, but what really topped the cake?.

for me, it was an elder telling me i was progressing really well when my meeting attendance was down and my field service hours were slipping.
