Yes. Apparently they are supposed to come out of the 12 tribes of Israel. Yet, those people in the watchtower org. who claim to be of the 144,000, most are not jewish. I don't know how they explain that one. It's funny that the number of people that claim this always goes up and down. I believe it's around 8,000 left, so they claim. Maybe someone else could do a better job at explaining this one.

What was your most humiliating point of being a jw?
by love11 inmine was when my mom signed me up to sit at a table at our local university.
we had to sit there and talk to students as they passed by our table.
a few people came up to start a conversation and i didn't even know what they were talking about.

Wow, hopefully these stories I've read here, have been an eye opener for those lurking. It's sad when really young children get so mistreated. Like having to go to the bathroom is a sin and hiding in a tornado is wrong. Crazy!
I remember my very first experience of being humiliated as a jw. I was between 3-4 years old and we were on vacation in Hocking Hills. My dad decided to place a call on this old house on the hill. He told me to come with him just to get me out of the car for awhile. I remember feeling like we shouldn't go, or shouldn't be there. We started walking up a dirt driveway when this big german shepard dog came out of no where. All of a sudden my dad picked me up and ran then threw me on top of the station wagon. The dogs teeth and face looked like a wolf when my dad grabbed me again and tryed to throw me in the window quickly before the dog got to me. Then he gradually squirmed his way back in the car. Once inside my mom started screaming because my dad's flesh on his leg hands and knees were hanging off of him. After everyone calmed down somewhat we wondered if the dog might have rabies and so my dad just started honking the horn until someone came out. An old lady with a cane came down the hill slowly with her dog. When she got to the car she started yelling at my dad and said, "What are you doing here anyways?" I felt embarrased that we were somewhere we didn't belong. I remember thinking, " If god wanted us to place magazines with those people then he wouldn't have let that happen." After they talked to the lady, my dad drove away and said he wondered if he should try and get money from the old lady for her dog attacking him. I said, "No, It's not her fault! It's our fault for sneaking up to her house." After that we went to the local hospital and my dad spent the rest of the vacation sitting near the pool on a lounge chair. I don't know how many stitches he got, but he looked like he was sown up by like a rag doll. I never wanted to go out in service after that. But I did. But not anymore and never will again. It taught me alot- Bad things happen when you're not where you're supposed to be.

Do any small creatures frighten & freak you out?
by Rod P inhere's the dirty dozen: .
1) ants- imagine being buried in a sandpile up to your neck with sand.
along come a bunch of ants from an ant colony, and they crawl all over your head, in and out of your nose, your mouth, your ears, your eyes, and all thru your hair.

I hate feet
by rebel8 inhere in the "arctic" northeast, people are beginning to wear their sandals again.
i hate sandal season.. there are a few people with good hygeine and ok looking feet that can pull off the sandal look.
the rest should not be allowed into public without socks and shoes.. i am sick of seeing callouses, dry skin with foot flakes falling off, dirty feet, even worse--dirty toenails, toenails that have not been trimmed (i do not want to see anything but nails trimmed all the way down), corns, fungus, bunions, deformations, etc.

HAHAHAAHA I hate feet too!!!! With that said- I also was a foot model on a foot fetish web site. No one ever saw my face or body, just my feet from the calf down. You would be suprised at how many guys have a foot fetish. I thought it was hilarious that these guys were paying all this money just see my feet in high heels, cake, strawberries, sandles, nude feet. LOL HAHAHAHAHA But now, I haven't kept up on them like I used to. It was alot of work always making sure they were soft and "perfect" looking. I still polish them and occasionally manicure them, but not like I used to. Brooke you should get in the business! LOL

The whole world used to think the world was flat too!!!!!
I think it's funny that this entire religion was formed to implode in a hundred years from the time it started. "Millions now living will never die". LOL
