in the 1990's there were a lot of things that had the saying "no fear" on it and one of the local elders figured out that this meant we live life and do things without fear.

so that basically we could try things and take chances, without the normal fear we associate with things in life.

well in a special needs talk they decided that "no fear" t shirts should not be worn by good witnesses and they asked that we not wear them to witness gatherings, or even in life.

I wonder how well smurf shirts would go over...lol

How did you get out of sitting through the Convention?

by Confucious in

.

someone else wrote a good thread about the naughtiest thing you've ever done at a convention.. ok... what did you do to "legally" get out of your chair?.

for me, it was easy, because i got to volunteer at some desk so i had 'permission' to be walking around in the hallways.

loosie

I would go down to the dugouts and count the money from the contribution boxes, with about 40 other bros and sis. In the dugouts you can't hear the speaker. man what a relief it was.

and it sure was a laugh, in melbourne they have the convention at the tennis centre with most of vic jw going there.

i think round the time i got baptised there were around 14,000 in attendance.. theres footage of the convention, there footage of us volunteers early in the morning making sandwhiches in our gorgeous cloth hats and aprons, and then theres my baptisim,.

sure brought back a lot of memories.

lol I guess you can't annul your baptism then. Because you have proof.

A new urban legend

by loosie in

i just got this in my email.

has anyone heard this one yet?.

this is an experience from andre' r_____, overseer, just back from the branch committee course at patterson: in england, one of our blind brothers had a seeing-eye dog that would faithfully guide and take him to the meetings each week.

That is a great Idea Highlander... I'll send it out.. but it's got to good and believable (in the WT world, not ours). Let's put our heads together, and see what we can come up with.

This is an experience from Andre' R_____, Overseer, just back from the Branch Committee Course at Patterson: In England, one of our blind brothers had a seeing-eye dog that would faithfully guide and take him to the meetings each week. The dog got into the routine of bringing our brother every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday to the Kingdom Hall. When our brother died, the dog became the property of another blind person, this time a non-Witness.

The dog left the man puzzled. Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday the dog was rearing to go and encouraging his owner to leave the house. So finally, the man followed the dog's lead, and unknown to him, he was brought to the Kingdom Hall and guided to a chair. The man didn't know where he was, but he enjoyed the warm reception he got from everyone. He started to study with the Bible with the Witnesses.

Not only does this experience show how Jehovah can even use his animal creation to bring someone into the Truth, but... also:

If a dog knows where he should be on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, isn't it a good example for us and our own meeting attendance?

Can you be disfellowshipped for eBaying?

by jwfacts in

i have been busy on ebay the last couple of weeks, and am finding it really addictive.

i know a lot of jws that go crazy using ebay all the time.. i have worked out why ebay is so popular.

for buyers it combines the shopping addiction many have with the element of buying things on special.. selling on ebay is gambling.

loosie

What if you were "IN" or "Active" and you sold Watchtower literature?

Would that get you in trouble?

If you got caught you could just say I was cleaning out my garage to make room for "new light".

Think of all the placements one could count......lol
