  How were your presentations?

  by Mysterious in

  were you the kind that stayed up for hours the night before finding the perfect point and the perfect scripture...or were you the one that was hastily trying to through something together the morning of and panicking when you realized the circuit overseer was visiting.

  and then there was me...i was lucky if i knew which magazines were "it" for that week, lucky if id read more than the first page, and developed a good deal of improve skill when that 25% "at home" rate popped up on my 1 door in 10. eeps.

  im not sure if anyone realized just how seat of the pants my approach to field service actually was.

  For service....well, my first hope was that I would be lucky and nobody would come to the door. If they did, I only 'worked' with tracts. I simply said, "We're in your neighborhood sharing these with your neighbors"....handed it to them, said 'Thanks' and walked away. It was all I could ever muster.

  For the school...that never bothered me. I figured everybody else there was doing the same lame sh*t and wouldn't care what it sounded like. Besides, it didn't take much thought to act like a parrot and read from the publications. As long as you read verbatim, you couldn't go wrong.

  WHAT DUB THINGS WILL YOU NEVER FORGET?

  now as much as no one wants to admit it, we all know that there are things we learned in the borg that we'll never forget even if we live to be a hundred.

  what is something that you know you'll always remember (despite your best efforts to forget!

  for me, it's matthew 24:14 and the names of the three hebrews thrown into the firey furnace (shadrach, meeee-shack and a-bed-we-go)

  OMG...what memories relived. I remember the Avon lady story, the possessed Smurfs, KISS, John Denver....wow! The funniest thing is, my mother-in-law was 'spiritistic' and used to crochet us baby blankets. My husband would never keep them and would throw them away. He keeps telling people about her making us an outfit for one of our babies and bringing it home and trying to burn it and it wouldn't burn. He always says, 'Don't you remember that?" For the life of me....I don't remember that ever happening. The things they get in their heads!

  I still refer to being fortunate about something instead of lucky....as much as I hate doing it. And always look around after I say "bless you" when someone sneezes.

  2. friends

  yesturday some of us had a great time playing the 3 word game.

  i didn't get much done at work while doing it though!

  with one change...instead of 3 words you have the choice of 3 or 4 as you go.. we make a story by everyone posting 3 words at a time.

  tomorrow is my youngest baby's 2nd birthday.

  i'm gonna wrap presents and buy a cake and light candles and wear a silly hat and sing happy birthday.

  Wow, good for you. I can sympathize with you over the loss of many years of your life. But you know what, there are many more ahead that can be filled with wonderful things. As you meet new, true friends, you will find your life is really a life now; one that you can control and not be controlled by a man-made organization. You made a very wise decision and handled yourself well.

  Hello from nothern CA. Welcome to the board and unlike what you're used to, feel free to ask questions. There's a lot to learn that we were never told.
