I came across some photos of my Grandfather. It reminded me of all the years we left him sit alone on holidays. He was a widower since Grandma died from not having a blood transfusion. I just feel so awful, I have to put the pictures back in the box. Too late to make it up to him. Memory pain lane...

Nauseating Trip down memory lane.....
by caligirl ini was reading through a journal i kept for my oldest son when he was a baby, and came accross a couple of entries that just make me cringe.
i was writing about my grandparents, the last of which passed away (not witnesses) when he was still less than a year old.
the journal is written like a letter to him for when he is older.

Did u convert to JW because u were ignorant, arrogant or some other reason?
by jwfacts into believe the watchtower story takes a high degree of arrogance.
to think you were so special that god drew you to his organization for salvation.
but 6 billion other humans deserve destruction, is placing huge value on your own importance.. if you converted to being a jw do you think you were sucked in because you did not know the full story (ignorance) or was it because you really wanted to believe you were more special than everyone else (arrogance)?

Well, I was a born-in and never believed in it. My Mom is sweet, anive and was lonely and looking for friends when she was hooked. My Dad, well, his attitude is, the truth's available to everyone, If people don't want it, then it's their own fault. He's obeying Jehoopla, and will be rewarded. He doesn't see himself as special, just making the correct choice.

I like to read other people's profiles too, but I'm afraid to reveal much in mine! Some of us are afraid that, somehow, those Dubby relatives that aren't supposed to visit sites like this, will....and recognize us. I'd be more comfortable telling more about my past in a PM, if anyone wanted to know.

Your Funniest House-to-House Presentations
by Good Girl or Bad Girl? inso when my brother was a wee little lad, my mother was helping him prepare his first presentation.
it involved a paradise tract, i'm sure.. anyway, so my brother, probably about 5 or 6 years old, stands at his first door and makes his little presentation.
except he kind of forgot what he was going to say and kind of made it up on the spot, because what he ended up saying was, "if you'd like to live forever you can have this tract.

My Dad went up a long winding drive towards a house when a German Shepherd came out and chased him back towards the car, tearing his trouser leg. The householder came out and my Dad had the nerve to tell him, he should pay for the pants, at which the householder chased him the rest of the way to the car, shaking a walking stick. As he backed the car up, the dog was still yapping and Dad was glaring the man down, as if he hadn't just trespassed on his property uninvited!

Just saw Blondie's post, that he wasn't married? Wonder who "Emmy" is, that I am thinking of... I also remember Calvin and Arlene Hargus from around the same period, and the Schraders, wife's name was "Carmie." Some suck-ups named their baby girl after her. Wonder what ever became of them, on Paradise Pension Plan?

I remember the Emschoff's. We had them briefly in our circuit in Indiana when I was a kid. They were well liked, and people were sorry to see them moved so soon. Seems like the wife went by "Emmy" but I can't remember...

What was the wildest thing you saw an elder do or say?
by jambon1 inafter replying to a recent thread, it made me think:
i`ll bet that there are some wacky elder experiences out there.
what was the wackiest thing you saw an elder do or say?

Virgochik
The elder was kind of old and maybe his mind was thinking other thoughts than the Watchtower study. Anyway, instead of calling on the sister in the rear, he directed the mic to "the sister with the rear!"
