  Share your most embarassing moments

  you have to be able to laugh at yourself sometimes.... here is one of my most embarassing moments.. i was in 7th grade and also the new kid in school.

  this happened during one of our first big test's, i think it was my english glass but i am not sure.. i had bad gas for some reason that day and had been holding it in instead of "dusting the crops" in the hallways (which is a great way to shed your gas without having to claim it).

  i am sitting in class trying to concentrate on the test while holding in my deadly gas with all the strength my buttcheeks could muster.

  here is a letter to the editor that will be appearing in the saturday edition of our local paper.

  very few people are aware of the beliefs of jehovah's witnesses.

  there are several reasons for that.

  Informal (anti) witnessing

  in my social psychology class today we were talking about cults.

  the professor mentioned her neighbor was an ex-jw and the woman swears it's a cult but that she wasn't so sure if it was or not.

  throughout her lecture i took down all the points on cults and described under it in detail why jws meet each one.

  WAS THIS A NO-NO FOR YOUR CONG. SHEPHERDING VISITS?

  by juni in

  2. bible

  i don't know where the elders learned this one.

  maybe it was local - i don't know.

  but.... these were shepherding calls to build you up spiritually so therefore no serving of coffee or cookies were allowed.. was this true with your congregation's shepherding visits?.

  Comments You Will Not Hear at the 3-5-06 WT Study (Patience)

  by blondie in

  his faithful servants--only jws, not "so-called" christians.

  7 a second point that we can draw from peter's words is that jehovah is patient because he desires all to attain to repentance.

  "consider the patience of our lord as salvation," wrote peter to fellow christians.

  I know alot has been said, but...

  by Lot in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i know that much has been said about the 3-15-06 wt study article on false religion, but i wanted to add my two cents because of the way that it affects my situation.. i realized a long time ago that this wasn't the "truth", but i only allowed myself to acknowledge this fact two years ago.

  since then i have been trying to figure out what that realization meant for my faith in god and religion.

  i have more answers now than i did two years ago, but my search for meaning and understanding continues and probably will for the rest of my life.
