  I was called by a JW wanting a favor...

  by Dawn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yep - you read that right.. i had a message on my answering machine - a jw i used to know long ago, left a message, wanting me to help out with some legal matters (i have worked for the criminal justice system for about 15 yrs now).. my husband just about had a cow - here's someone who wouldn't talk to me at the grocery store, but has no problem talking to me if they need something?

  i thought to myself, could this person really be that nieve about human social situations - ie: if you're going to be mean to someone, don't expect a favor from them .

  ok ok, i know - i should show more christian attitude, turn the other cheek, and call this person back.

  It's easy to jump to conclusions...you knew them ''a long time ago''....maybe this person isn't a JW anymore, circumstances change......better to see what the story is, you'll only be curious (as indeed we are!) - also it couldn't have been easy for HER to contact YOU........keep us updated!

  Good point Golf - or maybe a small brochure (containing ''facts'' and experiences) to distribute to each remaining member....

  Anyone had a near death experience?

  by holly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  or anything similar???

  the nearest i came was knocking myself out - my life actually did flash before my eyes.

  it could only have been seconds before bumping my head and hitting the ground, but i flashed through scene after scene of life events, from childhood to adulthood.

  Holly - funny you should mention that......here is something I posted on another site -

  Any theories on this....
  
  My daughter cannot wear a (working) watch for longer than 2 weeks...they just appear to stop. Her latest watch (a Morgan ) worked for 4 days and then stopped...I returned it for repair, and upon receiving it back, working, it stopped after a further 2 days of her wearing it again. The watch prior to that (a Gucci) worked only for 2 days...hmm..now she has her eye on a new DKNY watch

  ....and ONE of the responses I got was this link....

  ...interesting....

  hmmm.....not exactly what you're asking, but I do lucid dream (although haven't for about a year now) - one explanation being that these are 'out of body' experiences.....I personally have no explanation, but they can be quite amazing! Anyone else do this....?
