5' 4" ELDERLY elder with very bad combover, full black hair sprouting from each ear (shampoo models would be shamed) and plaid bullet-proof polyester suit spent about 7 minutes overkilling a spider with a rolled up watchtower (probably delivered about 19 ear-splitting full blows) then proceeded to do the twist on it with his shoe.

there was a time when a brother giving the talk on "Boaz" kept pronouncing it "Bozo" provided 5 minutes of amusement out of an otherwise dreary MS.

i was about 6 years old at the time and giving a talk. my dad always used to cross his legs with one ankle over the opposite thigh. well being a good little copy cat. i got up on the main platform and proceeded to cross my legs in that same fashion which made a marvelous little "table" to place my materials on. apparently my mother almost had a heart attack as you could clearly see my underwear from the audience.
she told me never to sit like that again.

JW women focused on appearance!
by Sirona init really gets on my nerves.. jw women used to be always focused, as their number one thing, on appearance.
they could be crap at the rest of the jw stuff, but if they turned up at the meeting dressed nice, thin, long hair, looking nice, all was forgiven.
of course it was because of the misogyny (sp?

When I was a kid, I didn't want to be a JW.
by kwintestal ini'm thinking back to my childhood here, and remembering hanging out with my jw friends.
my buddies and i, when we were 9, 10 years old knew that we wouldn't stay jws.
we hated the restrictions that were put on us and hated being different.

Here's the irony, my super-dub dad would always say "how come there are hardly any doctors, attorneys <insert long-educated career path here> in dubbie land?"
then my sister and I would answer "umm, because the society discourages higher education and those professsions all require higher education."
then he would retort: "i mean, they could be worldly and get their education, then come into da troof" <with pre-installed doctorate, PHd, etc., i suppose>

How many of you are childfree by choice?
by rebel8 inby that, i mean you do not want to have children.. i have been told since birth it would not be safe for me to have children, so i never even considered it.
i never went through a grieving period because the concept of having babies was not something i once had and lost.
i always envisioned myself as a happy career woman.. i recently married and am still sure i don't want children.

Speaking from experience, i would have to say children are pretty much over rated. the bundle o' joy:aggrevation/huge expense ratio is way out of kilter. ESPECIALLY if you have a blended family/divorce situation on your hands.
It was different when we were all living on the farm and kids were viewed as helpful, cheery auxiliary farm hands.
I would NEVER criticize anyone for not having children; i think it's the smart move.
