A real man uses Lava soap. That includes for hair washing and tooth brushing. Just kidding. Several years ago I started using glycerine soap, the bar is clear. My wife buys them. They come in different colors, yellow smells like lemon, green like lime, once she brought in some lavender ones that smelled like flowers, I really don't care as long as I don't itch afterwards (Irish Spring, Zest) or feel greasy (Dial, Camay). I never get in a bath, showers only and 5 mins. is a long shower for me.

28The Scent of a Woman!!!!
by AK - Jeff inyour intentions are good - entirely manly.
you step into the shower intent on grabbing a skin-drying manly soap - dial or zest or similar.. then it catches your eye - that little 'womanly scented' bath-bar.
you try and reach past it - to get the large man-size bar on the soap tray - but inexplicably you pick up the lady's perfumey soap.

Whenever the WTS republishes and edits their older publications to correct falsehoods without acknowledging the change in a footnote or addendum they are simply lying. There are several examples that have been exposed.
Ever wonder how many have been DF'd for disagreeing with a WT statement that was later changed? Seems to me the right thing to do would to apologize to that one and offer immediate reinstatement. Of course, it would never happen.

A Bible study in progress was dumped on me by a brother that was uncomfortable with his strange personality... He was about 35 and had been married twice, both times to women in their fifties. He was a very strange dude. He was too good to be true in the home Bible study, he agreed with everything and never missed a meeting. When you were talking to him at the hall his eye were constantly darting around. It began to dawn on us that he had an eye for the virginal, pretty sisters at the hall. He seemed to be dyeing his hair black and he wore an overwhelming cologne. He was one of the creepiest guys I'd ever been around and once I was on to his game I put the word out in the cong. and he eventually went away. I guess my judgement cost him the chance for everlasting life, not to mention some young puss.

There were so many...but I wouldn't use the term "nut jobs". I like "eccentric" better.
There was Pete and Jo (as in Josephine) Palakas. He was from the old country, Greece. They were pioneers. They had a fifties model Chevy station wagon. Clean as a pin. Pete couldn't drive. He always sat in the backseat on the passenger side, like he was being chauffuered. Jo wore thick glasses that made her eyes look huge. She also had the habit of almost constantly grinding her teeth. It made a sound like a frog croaking. It became a normal part of the background noise during the meetings. They were in their late sixties/early seventies. I was in their car group many times in field service and I really liked them both. I would do things that would make Pete laugh but I never really knew what I'd done. He barely spoke english, wore suspenders without a jacket. Their car smelled strange but not bad. 3 speed stick. Jo would change gears with a slam and resume her death grip on the wheel, grinding her teeth like we were driving through a mine field.

TMS, thanks for the well written recollection. Brought back more memories of that experience and what so many went through to be there. I remember the excitement of all those new books which, today, would not even be used as doorstops in a KH.

Please forgive Gregor. He's just an arrogant, undiluted, bombast. ( to Gregor)
Yup, and proud of it. What Auld Soul is trying to say is that I usually just cut to the bottom line with hardly any pillow talk coochy koo. Who is to say me nay?

As two very young JW virgins we could not get things figured out until our third night. 5 kids and 42 years later we still have a laugh about it.

What was the worst (or funniest) thing you got caught doing at a meeting?
by danfromma inor in service, or just by jws period... me, i was notorious for doodling in my literature.
when i was about 12, i got caught drawing the led zeppelin logo in my bible by the meanest elder in the hall.
my mother wouldn't let me out of the house for about 2 months!

My best pal, Wayne, and I were about 14. We were sitting in front of my parents during the Sunday talk so we had to really be cool. We looked up a Bible reference as we were told by the speaker and the word "prostitute" cane up. I don't know who started it, we began to write on the margins of a tiny public talk invitation (remember those?) all the words we knew that meant prostitute. I wrote "Whore", Wayne passes it back and he has written "Strumpet". I write "Catamite" and on it went until dads hand snaked between us and snatched the paper. Oh Boy! My ears were so red I just knew they must be visibly pulsating. Dad made me wait until we got home from the meeting. He held the little scrap of paper up, gave me that look "you filthy little bastard" and told me I could not set with Wayne during the meetings.

New boy, Not sure if I'm interpreting your roulette ANALogy (sometimes the ball lands on red...sometimes on black)correctly? Is it anything like a scratch in billiards?? (ball goes in the wrong pocket)
