Deadly toys
by Elsewhere inwhatever happened to to good-ol-days when you had to pay attention to where you threw your lawn darts so that you wouldn't kill anyone?.
when i was in first grade my family had a set of lawn darts... not the plastic kind... the kind with the heavy steel spike prodruding from the tip.
i loved to go outside and play with them.

Can someone take me through what it means to start/do a "study"?
by wordlywife inwhen i attended with my husband, (i am not jw, he is over 20 yrs.
) i was asked many times who i was studying with, are you studying, etc.
i didn't know what they meant, husband never pressures me with this kind of questioning.

One of my then soon to be SIL started a study with me. She was a pioneer, and we usually covered a chapter a week of the Live Forever book. They would usually run for an hour, or two (depending if I had actually studied, and how many hours she need to pad).
I remember one study, I had a problem with the concept being presented ie the Whole Wide World being destroyed. I musta pissed her off, because when she left, I had discovered she had tinkled all over my freshly cloroxed toilet, and bathroom floor.
One of my very last studies was with another pioneer, and she had given me an ultimatim be ready or else this is it. So, I actually studdied and was ready for her. That was a night my husband was out of town, and my daughter needed dinner, no food in house, there I was scrounging up something for her, and I get a call from one of the SIL. She was stuck somewhere with a flat tire, and needed a ride (her hubby was out playing ball with the bros.). I tried to explain my situation, but she got all mad. A few moments later, I got an angry call from MIL, berating me on not helping my SIL. Wish I'da asked her why she could not get her, or fix dinner for my kid.
Yes, they do have an agenda, if you are a woman and not a JW spouse. They will use the opportunity to get inside your home, see how you operate, and create crises or messes for you to deal with.

I looked forward to it, because public speaking was part of my secular job. Had no problem with it. I think that is why I was never allowed to enroll, just be an unbaptized book pusher.

The charcoal grill when the steaks were done, but before the coals went out. Used to sacrifice little green army men, barbie dolls, flowers and insects. Once I tried to sacrifice my little brother...he still cringes when he hears the phrase 'shrimp on the barbie'.
edited to add not the kid bro, really!

When we sang after the meeting one time, she decided to let one rip between verses.
KayKay, that was just her way of spicing up those crappy kindom melodies! My kids call 'The Blue Danube Waltz' the putt-putt song.

Best "quote" by your spouse.
by Simon inthe classic for me was several years ago.
angharad had just left to go out but came back after a few minutes with a very sheepish / worried look on her face.. "i hit something with the car" she whimpered.. "argh ...

No, but I do suffer from CRS.

They are Sooooooooo Over-rated !!
by ScoobySnax inever listened to someone who goes on and on about someone or something (and i don't mean jehovah's witnesses here!
) like they were the best thing since sliced bread.....and try as you might you just can't see the attraction?.
my brother-in law must have every sodding elvis record/picture/memorabilia thing going, and he goes on and on about him.

Is that a standard dub practice, in view of giving Caesar his due? How do other countries handle tax on income?

((((Gina and Dave)))) This is very happy news!!!
Show her Quotes website, and the thread in connection with the Tower trying to intimidate him. If 'The Truth' is indeed the truth, their past and present should be able to stand up to scrutiny.
Man, oh man, GOOD LUCK!!!!
