Let's hear some funny sayings that kids come out with !

by hubert in

thanks, rabbit, you gave me the idea.. kids will come out with the funniest sayings, even though they themselves are serious when they say them.

like my grandaughter, whose 8 years old:.

while i am driving my "new " toyota she says to me, "grandpa, in a few years, are you going to get another car and get rid of this one"?

I just remembered another one....

Two summers ago, when my grandaughter was 7, I took her out for ice cream at a creamery.

While sitting and waiting for our ice cream, a pretty, young waitress who took a liking to my grandaughter came over to talk to her. The waitress was holding a tray of dishes from a table she just cleaned, and while talking, dropped some pudding on the carpet, near our table. She went to get a towel and as she started to wipe it up, my grandaughter, while watching her do this, commented, out loud, ...."It looks like diarhea".

The girl didn't know where to put herself after this, and wouldn't stop laughing. she was somewhat embarassed. LOL !!

Like my grandaughter, whose 8 years old:

While I am driving my "new " toyota she says to me, "Grandpa, in a few years, are you going to get another car and get rid of this one"? I said, yes, I guess I will.

She says "Well, could you REALLY try hard to save your money and buy a Corvete or Mustang next time"?

One more.... A few weeks ago, my family was at a restaurant, with a female relative that was visiting us at the time, and the woman asked our grandaughter.."Where do you want to live, when you grow up"?

She replied..." I want to live in Minnesota".

She was shocked at the answer, and asked "why"?

"Because there's lots of "soda" there". ...LOL ! ...True story.

Does anyone else have any funny, kid stories to share?

Thanks in advance...Hubert

lol this one was my challenge when she was little but is now such a joy to me.. anyway t began school at 5 and seemed to be doing well with school and her friends.. just about a month after she began 1st grade we had stopped to eat lunch while out in service.t suddenly made a strange noise she looked off into space with a strange stare and wouldnt respond to anything we said or did.i was in a panic by the time she began talking again and told us that she heard us but couldnt answer us at that point.demons?was my first thought but as i began to ask her about it then i began to feel she had had a small seizure.

hubert

Well, I have to reply to this...I don't really know what to say, except you have been through hell. I'm so sorry to hear this. ((((kat))))

* How goes the "Keep On The Watch campaign? *

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

i thought this campaign was different from the last few campaigns the watchtower bible & tract society has organized.. first of all, there was no real build up to this campaign - it received very little attention.. just a scant comment in the km about the 30 day preaching campaign and that is all.. in 1995/6, when we had the brochure, "will all people ever love one another", there was a build up of enthusiam.. brothers and sisters were told that they were not allowed to even see the brochure until it was time to give them out.. as we left the exit doors then, ministerial servants would distribute a batch of 25 to each publisher to place.

we felt important.

we felt special.

hubert

Do you mean the Watchtower Society is REALLY starting to "come clean"?

hi, i am new here and was told most here are ex jw's, i am not an ex jw, i attend meetings but not regular and have been reading a few things here and hope you don't mind if i have an opinion now and again.

hubert

Welcome, Max. You know, there's a saying...."believe half of what you read, and nothing of what you here".

Well, in this forum, I can say,.. "believe 95 percent of what you read". Okay, I'm lying....believe 99.5 percent of what you read here.

What reasons you gave for not celebrating Thanksgiving when u were a dub?

by hubert in

.

i know two reasons, from my bible-study daughter.. indians were killed.. pagan origins.. what were some of the reasons you gave when you were a j-dub, to get out of celebrating thanksgiving with non-j.w.

hubert

Blondie, I think what they meant is, they killed the Indians eventually...maybe years later, so that's why they don't celebrate Thanksgiving.

It's like them saying, "We don't celebrate birthdays, because of the apostle that got beheaded on a princesses or queens birthday. (I think). Forgot who. Paul, Peter? Sorry, not good at Bible verses.

It's also like saying, "I saw someone deliberately running over somebody with their car, so I'm not going to drive anymore". (duh)???

Yeah, that's their biggest cop-out. They do that at Christmas time, too...... "We can give gifts anytime".
