JW urban legends
by Highlander ini remember very few of the details, of when, where and exactly what took place, however a few years ago i was told the story about three elders that were walking together and the middle.
elder was struck and killed by lightning.
the other two elders went to his house to help out his wife and discovered 'apostate' material in their home.

i remember that smurfs thing. i wasn't allowed to watch the smurfs either because it supposedly meant "little devils" in some other language. also, does anyone remember HeMan cartoon? i wasn't allowed to watch that either because he always said "i have the power" and only Jehovah has the power. i missed a lot of good episodes because of that...

i heard one a coupld of years before a left. some brother for some reason was at a UN meeting and approached someone of importance and asked when the government conspiracy against religion was going to take place and the UN guy was like "how did you know that"? everyone in the cong. was getting worked up about it and were thinking that armageddon was about to come true.

rock climbing
by aoxo inany rock climbers in here?
when i was a jw it was frowned upon very much in the surrounding cong.
so one wanted to do it with me because the elders (who didn't know what the heck rock climbing was) didn't think that it was safe and that it was more of a thrill sport like bungy jumping.

rock climbing is a great sport. back then people didn't know what it realy was, they thought that it was like hiking up a steep mountain. now a days elders see it in rated R movies that they aren't supposed to be watching anyway and think that its dangerous and a good excuse to tell people what not to do. funny that even now there isn't a direct quote in the W&A that says rock climbing should not be done. its just the peer pressure of other witnesses that bans it. JW's suck!!!

there are plenty of good places for trout fishing is wisconsin, even in milwaukee. racine has the root river, not the cleanest river but the trout run up it to spawn every year. milwaukee has the menomonee river that goes through the city. its sort of a sewer run off that connects to lake michigan. its mostly concrete so when it rains a lot its very full and the fish go up to the surface where you can almost grap them by hand, suckers, trout, northern...

i got certified three years ago and my open water test and first several dives were in merky wisconsin lakes and coreys. i then got an opportunity to dive in mexico and it was wonderfull but i still like the merky lakes and coreys, its a thrill to be down there not able to see much and expect a decayed body to float by you or even to just find an old bottle or something like that.
