  Has Anyone Ever Met Any Celebrities?

  by imallgrowedup in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a spin-off of another thread where my *mild and chaste* friend, mouthy, admitted to wanting to meet her dream man, tom jones, and that she would even go so far as to throw her bloomers at him, if that is what it would take to get his attention!

  well, the mental picture this painted was far too much for me to bear, so i encouraged her to save her red polka-dotted "unmentionables", not only because she might need them in the future, but because i didn't think she'd have to go that far to get his attention.

  and i said that - because of a personal experience with him.

  What are some of the wackiest comments you've heard at a meeting?

  by doodle-v in

  2. friends

  nearly every cong has few goofballs who you can always count on to give some really off the wall comments during a meeting.

  i remember one sister in particular who would give incredibly loooooooooooooooooong comments lasting 5 minutes at least!

  lol!

  OK you New Yorkers, WHERE ARE YOU!

  by jst2laws in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know there are some new yorkers here.

  you are well represented by franklin j, blueblades (i think), and homey.

  what i can't understand is new york is, to me, the archetype of independent thinking - individuality.

  How old were you when you left?

  by somebodylovesme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i only know a handful of witnesses, but i do know several ex-witnesses.

  all of them left in their late teens, which (as i've read here) is pretty common.

  i know there are a lot of people here who left later in life.

  What is the mood in the Kingdom Halls nowadays?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i used to go the meetings in the late 80's, the mood was good, knowing that the end was close.

  later on in the 90's while i still attended once in a while, people were starting to be less zealous and were starting to put their needs before those of the kingdoms.

  people started to buy houses, instead of living in apartements, they were buying nicer cars, taking vacations far away, and mostly, the women started to work, to help pay for the better life style they were living.

  JW's and Pubs/Bars

  by Heatmiser in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have noticed on past threads from posters from other countries than the usa that they would be hanging out in pubs and such while still jw's.

  in the us i believe that going to bars would pretty much be a df/da offense.

  in other countries is the policy different?

  WHY did you get baptised?

  by fairy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just thinking back to when i got baptised.

  and i dont really remember the real reason why.. thinking about it seems to bring up the idea that i only got baptised because of the way everyone treats you when they find out you are getting dunked - and not specifically to serve jehovah.. baptism day comes and you sit there and listen to the talk.

  then you go out and get your swimming duds on and line up at the "whatever it is they decide to dunk you in".

  Microphone "Handling"

  by SYN in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what is all the fuss about?

  when i was still assimilated (i.e.

  still in the borg, but wanting out every second of that time), there was so much emphasis put on microphone handling that it was almost unreal.
