  What was your first "Real" job...?

  by Casper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one where you were actually given a paycheck, & where did you end up after that , if you're in the mood to tell ?

  there are a lot of intelligent people here with, i assume, some very interesting occupations.... but hey, we all had to start somewhere........ for myself, my first real job was at a local clothing store, imagine my surprise when at the age of 18 i realized just how much items were marked up...!!!

  i priced the clothes at 3 times the cost to the store.

  Did you see any sad living conditions in Field Service...?

  im sure all of us at one time or another witnessed homes that broke our heartshere are a few of mine.

  some of the homes i had been invited into out in service really left an impression on me.

  call it naive or whatever, it was a real eye opener in some cases.. one in particular that i remember was a poor family with 8 little girls, stair step in age, the oldest no more than 9. this was an rv of the sister i was with.... very nice people, but the living conditions were appalling.

  What was your first Religious Experience ?

  by Casper in

  just wondered how others first learned about religion.

  i know "born ins" were taught from the start but the rest of us had to start somewhere.

  my very first memory of anything supposedly religious was at the age of six... my grandmother took me to a "tent revival".

  Did anyone ever "Really" stumble you ?

  by Casper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is one of the things i felt could get really petty in the congregation i attended, sometimes over the top, in my opinion.. one time a group of us sisters went on a shopping trip.

  the driver was knocking herself out trying to find some "decent" music on the radio.

  finally gave up and put a john mellencamp tape in.

  Was it really all my fault...??

  by Casper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it just dawned on me today..., .

  that - i - must have been the reason that my deceased ms husband never made elder.. ugh, as if i don't have enough guilt to carry around.

  he has been deceased for 10 years now, and after reading some things on this board, i realize, i must have been his problem.
