i was walking downtown this morning and came upon a jw dad with his two little girls.
they were waiting at a light to cross and a woman with her little girl (the two little girls were around the same age, maybe 6 years old) was walking past them.
the little jw girl turns around and whips out the mags.
I don't think the dad and the other little girl saw what happened. He was facing the other direction, and had one child on each side of him.
When the little JW girl saw these two walking behind her she just turned around really fast with the mags in her hand. The woman and her daughter just kept walking. I'm not even sure the mom saw what the little JW girl had in her hand, it happened so fast.

I thought it was just too funny!! Run little girl - run away as fast as you can!!

i was on the phone speaking with verne thoren, presiding overseer of the willow springs, nc congregation of jehovah's witnesses.
he tells me he knows of my possesssion of the flock book.
he knows of my involvement on this site.
I love how they act 8 days before my 18th birthday. Just to involve my mom.
I'm surprised they are involving your mom if it is a JC. When my brother was up agains a JC she had to fight tooth and nail to be in that room. They were not going to allow her in even though he was a minor.

lets say an elder that knows his bible very well, and a priest or any high ranking person of any other christian religion who also knows his bible very well, would get together and each with a bible in their hand.....who would come out victorious?.
So, can we say that the one who knows his bible best has the truth?
My own personal opinion - NO. I personally don't think anyone knows what exactly "the truth" is when it comes to the bible. There are so many different opinions/views/beliefs all based on this one book. You can know the bible inside and out and twist and reason any scripture to convey what YOU want it to say/mean.
First of all, that elder told this pastor, "we will talk only about ONE subject at a time", because the way the elder was talking to me, he was jumping from one topic to another....so finally the pastor agreed to talk only about ONE topic at a time.
So, this elder didn't like it when the pastor skipped from one topic to another? Hhhhmmm, I've heard that is a tactic that elders use in JC's to try and trip you up. What's that old saying "turn about is fair play"? (or something to that effect!!)

Maybe in that elders mind he won, but I highly doubt it. In order to become a pastor you need a degree (min of 4 years of training), and most pastors I know have several degrees, in fact, they always seem to be going to school for something.
That is their life work, studying the bible, not cleaning toilets or windows and preaching on the side.

my husband and myself have not been to a meeting for over 4 years now.. we learnt last night from my sister that our names are still pinned on a list of inactive publishers on the notice board at the back of the kh along with about 15 others!!!!!.
i'm totally gobsmacked having considered ourselves successful faders!!!!.
what the hell do they think they're playing at?!!
Wow! I have never heard of this. I hope there is some way you can get your name off the list.

last night at our memorial, i sat next to someone's study.
when the bread was passed, she took a piece but did not eat it.
she placed it on her lap.
At the two churches I have been to, they pass the wafers/wine (grape juice) around for everyone to take then read the scriptures and say a prayer, after that each person has their bread/wine.
She could have experienced the same thing at a church she attended and figured that's the way JW's did things too.

i take public transit to & from work.
i walk past a "historic" theater on a daily basis.
as i walked past this theater, there were about 8-10 j-dubs waiting for the theater to open so they can get the "best" seats.
Bravo!!!!!

i can't believe it, but i missed my first memorial!!!.
i wasn't sure what was going to happen, until it was past the time to get ready and leave.
i left it up to my husband, and he made no effort to get ready and go.
Crumpet - wow - did they bring the emblems to your mum in the hospital? lol

Country Girl - wow! It took your family 16 years for things to sink in?
Balsam - I too love gardening! With the rain this year no gardening for me last night. Maybe next year.

CS 101 - Nope! Although there was thunder and lightening here last night
FF - I have to say I was somewhat aprehensive last night. I'm not sure why - I guess it's because I was wondering what I'd say to my family if they asked.
