  after replying to a recent thread, it made me think:

  During a counseling session with an elder (one of many lol) he told me taht "worldy guys" are just out to "get their rocks off"
  
  Too bad he didn't know what his sons were doing. ;-)

  Mine were just about the same as yours with Unitarian Universalism leading the pack.
  
  Apparently I agree with 40% of the jws, which is rather high I thought?

  While out in service an Elder in my hall (got appointed even though his wife refused to convert) gave permission for a householder to say a prayer for him while at the door.
  
  I wasn't on the call but was in the car group, caused quite a stir it did.

  What is your town or area's claim to fame?

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  every where you live, the local area has something about it that is either famous for something good or something bad.

  as an example, you go to one town and it may have the historial site of a famous war battle.

  you go to another an it might be the place something was invented, or the birthplace of someone famous.

  Could you imagine how horrible mind numbing it would be to have to watch those at home?
  At least at the convention there's cute boys to look at.

  Michael jackson is STILL a jw.. just on tv.

  by candidlynuts in

  2. friends

  so i'm sitting here online halfway listening to nancy graces show on headline news.. someone calls in and asks if michael jackson was muslim now.

  the jackson attorney says no, he was raised a jehovahs witness, he is a jehovah's witness and will probably be one all his life.

  (wonder if he's been quietly reinstated?).
