I remember one birthday party for me (I was four) and two or three christmases. That was in 1989-1990. For my birthdayI got a remote control submarine and this gorilla that you set to climb a line across the room. I remember that i spent most of my time playing with the submarine in the bathroom rather than with the other kids partying. (I still have the picture).

'Disciplining' Children during meetings

by theredhead in

once at our local kh, the families were told if they needed to 'spank' their children they needed to do it inside the hall for now on and not take the child outside.

apparently, some neighbors reported one of the mothers for child abuse and called up the hall and told the elders that if they see it again they will call the police.. .

by no shocker the mother was still able to keep her baby...

Name that Psycho

reading a previous thread where people mentioned the crazy people in their hall and what they would do during the meetings, i figured it needed a thread all to itself.

so what did the mentally ill or generally crazy people do during your meetings?

i don't have any good ones.

Lol

I have a couple of good psychos.

One brother who thought he was a secret agent and would take people to side and ask them if they heard from headquarters yet about the missle strike and things of that nature. (NO JOKE). He placed more magazines than anyone else in the congregation so they left him alone.

There was an old sister that confused an elder with the administrators in her assisted living home, he was trying to talk to her and she yelled out "NO, NOOO, I DONT WANT TO HEAR IT!!!". I was in charge of putting her on the telephone line and she refused to be paired up with people who werent baptized witnesses.
I met this brother while out in field service. He was walking in front of his apartment complex barefoot. After telling him my name, he went on to tell me about its jewish and hebrew and greek translations and what it really meant. He lifted his shirt and showed me this sashel around his waist with his and his son's name written over and over again. The brother has been known to walk around town singing kingdom songs.

Religious funnies!

by Got Milf? in

one bright, beautiful sunday morning, the townspeople were in church, listening to the organ play.

suddenly, satan appeared at the front of the church.

everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.

Dune

Lol, that was actually good.

MySpace

by sinis in

i see where they changed it to "feel good inc".

looks like you can't access anything unless you are registered.

i wonder if this is in response to the jw gestapo coming down on them.

Dune

I know a girl who got grounded when the elders in florida started cracking down on xanga.

Looking through some of the xanga's, alot of the people who are part of the JW groups sure as hell dont act like witnesses. lol.
