I was at a witness wedding once and the brother giving the wedding talk was going on and on and on giving examples of how harmonious the wedding arrangment should be. The three cord rope etc. He was really overdoing it. Well, he pauses, shuffles his notes then gets a panic look on his face and states: "I left the rest of my notes at home". WOW you could cut it with a knife. The bride was about to die. He then composes himself and gets to the vows.

We had a family that had an 8 year old son who was deaf. He was allways a hand full in the meetings. During a Sunday public talk the kid is sitting there in this very quiet hall and farts real loud, no one didn't hear it.

I was a witness for 28 years and spurned my families constant invitations for Thanksgiving dinner. "It's just dinner" they would say and I always refused, didn't want to be seen as condoning a worldly holiday. So one thanksgiving a sister and her family invited me to dinner. Well, I was off work and I didn't think a thing about it. I've been to friends houses for dinner many times. Imagine my shock when I arrived to find a complete head to toe Thanksgiving meal, everything, turkey and everything. Each place mat had an autumn leaf with the persons name on it. I was dumbfounded but didn't leave. I felt like dirt.

A question on " 1975 "
by The ini was reading some of the first " topics " on this db and i noticed that a few former elders and publishers .
were stumbled by this date.... i was born after 1975 and i'd really appreciate any comments from brothers and sisters who were around .
what i've noticed from personal experience is that many brothers and sisters feel that only " a few " were stumbeled .

As others had stated, the Watchtower encouraged this thinking that 1975 would be the end. How did the Watchtower respond when it didn't happen, see for yourself:

But it is not advisable for us to set our sights on a certain date, neglecting everyday things we would ordinarily care for as Christians, such as things that we and our families really need. We may be forgetting that, when the "day" comes, it will not change the principle that Christians must at all times take care of all their responsibilities. If anyone has been disappointed through not following this line of thought, he should now concentrate on adjusting his viewpoint, seeing that it was not the word of God that failed or deceived him and brought disappointment, but that his own understanding was based on wrong premises. -

Where are you hypocrite TimJonz you can not speak up. Hit and run are you. Why am I suprised. Go back and hide behind your Bible. The Lord is leading you.

I am so sorry TimJonz you can not answer. I wonder why. Are you afraid to answer TimJonz I think you are. Wrap yourself in your self rightousness. The Lord will favor you......
