Our congregation had a HUGE chart that went on stage on an easel at the beginning of each month during the service meeting that showed all the statistics for the previous month in the ministry - hours, back calls, studies etc.
Sandwich boards we had to "wear" as kids- for street corner witnessing and the big signs on top of cars advertising assemblies.
johnny and i go back all the way to childhood.
we met in elementary school all those years ago.
he was a chubby, one-eyed kid with freckles and a coat that didn't fit him and i was a tall and vanishingly thin introvert who wore dress pants instead of blue jeans.

I'll bet good 'ole Johnny's going to come around one of these days and you will be fast friends for life - and he will be honored to have a friend with your warmth, kindness, and intellect. Just my prediction....
let's hope this isn't lance armstrong... .

did you every hear anyone say something really dodgy from the platform when giving a talk?
i heard a couple of stories of people getting really enthusiastic when giving a talk or pray accidently swearing.
one time in my book study group a sister called someone a dickhead in her answer, it was very hard not to laught.
I posted it another time, but it was during a Sunday talk and the elder used the word "crap" and immediately was so embarassed and went on into a full explanation of apology for having said it.
boo!
one bad thing did happen this morning... i woke up to find that my personal domain is down.
i'm waiting for a response from my hosting company to let me know what is going on..
I did not win the radio station giveaway this morning for a trip to the Austin, TX Music Festival I've been furiously entering passwords for my pagan "chance" for two weeks now.
i thought about this topic last night for the board when watching one of my favorite movies.. 1. the man from snowy river- the part when they are going after the expensive colt and they get to the edge of the cliff and all the other riders stop and "jim" keeps going and leaps down the cliff after the wild horses.
i absolutely love that part of the movie...everytime its on i have to watch it, if not just to see this part only.. 2. love and basketball- when she tells him she will play for his heart...awwww first time i started crying.
and then the music they had playing in the background made it even worse.
Kill Bill Volume 2
Favorite scene and accompanying score: Uma Thurman being buried alive and breaking her way out of the pine box while ten feet under. The deep love for her child and desire to lead a normal life was her impetus.. I related completely as that was me, (ie: my avatar) breaking out of the cult with the same determination. Bill = the WTS and the ruination it brings to lives.
It gave me a literal panic attack at the theatre, and I was just about to run out - very well done. I know some have a hard time with the title and the satirical violence of the first Volume. I covered my eyes at parts of it, but until you have seen Volume 2, you only know half the story. It's totally different than Vol 1 and is full of dialogue vs. fighting. But, they both make up the whole.
i had a text message from an ex last week, she wanted to meet to discuss some jw's she had met that were really nice people but wanted some advice.
so the other night i drove over to a town in the north west of england to meet her and a really bizarre story unfolded.
we shall call our heroine julie who has recently moved into a new house along with her two children who we shall call janet and john, both children are in their early teens, julie is mid 30's.
I'm with the rest of you on the window washing - my first thought was, geesh - what are they doing, mud slinging so they can come and clean the windows? I mean, homeowner's have a gardener that comes once a week, but WINDOW WASHERS?
edited to add: good cover

it's hard, i only managed to find three!!!.

For whatever reason, I exercised caution with this thread - and read folk's thoughts before going there - my cat and I still haven't recovered from Gumby's post.
in the watchtower book "let god be true", c. 1946, on page 24, it reads...quote.."for woman is merely a lowly creature whom god created for man as man's helper.
" unquote.
what happened to "women's lib"?

The nearly constant pages for employees over the loudspeakers is completely distracti ng.
I have never gone in to Walmart and come out without my head spinning and being irritated as all get out. Several times I have gone looking for the manager and tried to convince him that they just have to provide some kind of training for their employees in the usage of the microphone! ( He must think I'm a JW.)
The majority do not speak, but SCREAM through the dang thing and the loudspeakers are always at full throttle too.
