Has anyone here ever gone to a witness school. You know the school JW's set up to keep their kids separate from the world. You would have the daily text every morning and of course a kingdom song had to be sung.
I'd love to hear your experiences.

JW Reaction to Pope's death
by Hondo ini'm not sure how to ask this not being, never have been, a jw.
with millions, maybe billions, of people around the globe paying their respects to this great man, what is, or what would be, reaction from jw's (a gb member, a co, do, an elder, anyone?
) about the death of the pope and all the network(s) coverage surrounding his passing?

Animals do pay respect to dead animals. Elephants mourn other dead elephants. As a group they stand around the bones and use there trunks to feel each bone of the elephant. Orca whales will beach their dead mate even if it means pushing the body for miles to get to the beach. And when one pet rat dies the others will die within weeks of the first one. Animals mourn. people mourn. Sorry to get off topic. But lets do a little research before we give a public talk.
I don't think they will have much of a comment about the Pope. What can they say given the way they have put down catholics over the past years.

More fun with witness urban myths.....
by integ ini have heard many urban myths associated with the watchtower society and its hapless adherents.
i like the one where an "interested one" accepted the invitation to attend the memorial one year, and sat next to a "sister" who let the confused attendee use her bible to look up scriptures as they were presented.
afterword, the "sister" walked the man up to the circuit overseer, who had delivered the talk that year, and introduced the dupe-filled "study" to the co. the co complimented the man on his spiritual interest and asked what impelled him to come up and talk to him.

ok now I am digging way back in the recesses of my memory here. Did you hear about the one where this sister in Germany was almost caught with the banned golden age magazine. She was out walking her baby in the carriage and along come the authorities so she quickly hides the magazines under the baby. when the police man searches the carriage he puts his hand underneath the baby and gets a hand full of poop (*&^%) and he shouts "uff da" which I think is Norwegian for well you know what. lmbo. I love these stories.

Now don't forget, the sister that was working the service territory alone when she went to this killer's house. Of course she didn't know he was a killer. He was going to shoot her when she came to the door. But he saw two big guys standing on each side of her. He decided not to shoot her. But those two big guys next to her were angels and they were protecting her.

I have a friend she is disfellowshipped. She suffers from depression. She wants to go back. But when she goes into the KH, not only does no one talk to her of course but they also give her dirty looks. It's like they are pissed off for having made eye contact with her. It's so stupid. That cong. has the meeting broadcast so you can get it on your radio in the parking lot. What if she went and just sat in the car and listen on the radio. That way she could hear what was going on and wouldn't have to go in and endure their dirty looks. She could let an elder know she was out there, so they would know that she "attended". Do you think that would be good enough for them?

Willyloman, your comment reminds me of this joke.
Fishing VS Reading
A couple go on vacation to a fishing resort in northern Minnesota. The husband likes to fish at the crack of dawn. The wife likes to read.
One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and continues to read her book.
Along comes a law enforcement officer in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning Ma'am. What are you doing?"
"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking "isn't it obvious?")
"You're in a restricted fishing area," he informs her.
"I'm sorry officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading.
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."
"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.
"But I haven't even touched you," says the officer.
"That's true, but you have all the equipment."
The Officer says, "Have a nice day."
Moral of the story: Don't mess with a woman who reads. She may also be able to think.

lol you guys have me rotflol. this is a fun group.
Also in this talk about love it was said that if we showed love to everybody that would eliminate the need for psychologists. yeah if only.
My husband said that mentioning in the talk that sisters don't qualify was like rubbing salt in the wound.

So I went to the meeting today.. I've been absent for a lil while. My husband says "remember to smile and be nice." Kinda gives you the impression that I'm not always...lol.
During the talk about what love is it was said that Love doesn't get puffed up. Then the speaker added.. If you get a position or privilege don?t think that you are the best person for the job. Even though you are qualified you may not be the best person for the job. After all the best person for the job might be a sister and as we know sisters don?t qualify for positions in this system. Ok I am still trying to wrap my mind around that one.
When I got home and related the story to my husband. I told him ?I was trying to remember what my husbandly owner had reminded me to do before I left,? smile and be nice?. My Husband busted a gut laughing at how I referred to him as my husbandly owner. He said yeah right more like a husbandly boner. I then was reminded why I married him.
