What is you (or somebodies) best blooper in the KH?

by DannyBloem in

for example: we had a 'faithfull' brother getting older and confused.

when something did not really went as he liked it (didn't get the answer etc) he shouted very loudly 'god doom me in the hell!

one time i had to do the closing prayer on the midweek meeting.

Thats just reminded me of some things I did as a kid - not bloopers in the KH, but KH related.

I had been invited to a kids house for tea - her mum was having a bible study with an elder. Me and this kid were talking at the teatable, we were about 7. This kids parents were divorced, and was telling me quite embarrasing things about how her mum and dad fought. I felt sorry for the kid and thought it would help if i mutually disclosed. So i told her that my dad had thrown the ketchup bottle at my mum in an argument and the sauce had gone all over the ceiling. (It was true).

The mum must have been listening, and promptly grassed up my fighting parents to the elder she was studying with (I thought you people didnt do things like that). The elders bollocked my parents, and my parents bollocked me.

Well I didnt throw the chuffin' sauce bottle did I?? I was only 7.

Secondly, I once wrote in my day book at school when I was 5 (it was at Christmas and we wer supposed to be writing about what we were looking forwrd to at christmas, but I had special dispensation to 'just write anything'). So I wrote "I do not celebrate christmas. I have lots of problems but I do not mind I can cope with them. It does not matter".

The school got in touch with my parents. I got bollocked.

(ive still got the day book, I showed my partner it the other day. Id be totally fooking humiliated if my daughter wrote anything like that.)

Finally, I found the REAL truth!

hello everyone, just wanted to say hello and let you know a bit about my story and tell you how thankful i am that i found this site!.

i was never a baptized jw although in the early 90's i studied for about 3 years and was an un-baptized publisher for about 1 year before my doubts about some of the beliefs and also my inability to overlook the constant hypocracy of the elders did me in.

sadly it was not before i dragged the love of my life into it, and also my sister (they are both baptized although she left after seeing the elders double standards when it came to doling out counsel/punishment to their own families, he is still in) anyway even though i couldn't bring myself to commit to the org because of the crap i saw going on in the 2 different halls i attended i still believed it was the truth...what an idiot!

Welcome N@H.

That guilt is awful isnt it. I still believed the troof when I left, I just couldnt do it anymore. I thought I was a really bad person because I left for wicked reasons (my marriage had broken up and I wanted to sleep with someone I wasnt married to) unlike some people I know who had left for purely doctrinal reasons.

So the first time I did the deed I thought 'well, thats it, im going to die at Armageddon now'. In fact I was thinking it as we were doing it - talk about a passion killer!!

It was about 7 years later when I read COC that I realised maybe I wasnt going to die a horrible fire and brimstone death along with my lovely daughter and new partner within the next few years. What a relief!

I look forward to reading your posts.

Pink Floyd reformed and playing at the London Live 8 concert

my all time favorite band pink floyd has reformed - with roger waters too - for the live 8 concert.. as a teenage i used to chill out to the floyd.

the song "comfortably numb" somehow resonates with me.

anyway live 8 starts in an hour or so [1 am nz] and i'll be up all night enjoying it.

I was outraged when scissor sisters covered that song, but after a great album from SS I forgave them.

They said sorry to me, they wont do it again. They told it to me at Glastonbury last year. We were all in a mushroom field, chillin' with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Judge Rutherford.
