in all the years i was a witness, i must admit there were some pretty funny things that i can remember.
i can't forget the time after i had given a public talk and the sister who played the piano ran from the bathroom to the piano with half of her dress still tucked in her pantyhose.
brothers and sisters were trying in vain to run down the long aisle but to no avail.
When I was a teenager me and two other guys worked on the sound when it needed it. One day we jammed out to Guns & Roses Appetite for Destruction over the Halls sounds system. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHH! Rock on!

there were gasps after watching this.
i heard the anti college talks at the dc this year, and while many people i know didnt agree with them, this following video stunned many of them.
there are many people on this forum, many have gotten to where they are many different ways.
Looks like we have someone to take Jaraz's place when he finally kicks the bucket.

i saw some mention of this in another post, but i wasn't sure if there was a topic about it.
being raised in the "truth" its always pointed out that even people who haven't been to meetings in years still come to the memorial.
ive noticed that a lot of time that is actually the case.
That is probably the reason i will go as well. I am not so concerned about the family as i am about my wife and kid. I have a good time entertaining the kid outside so that she doesn;t have to sit through the meeting and be told shhhhh sit down be quiet for two hours. But I can only take so much having heard it all my life.

i'm a baptized member considered ''inactive.
'' i don't hand in ''service reports'',attend maybe 3 meetings a month,ain't signed up for the ministry school and will never attend any convention or the ''book study.
'' always make the ''memorial.
Inactive now, don't go regularly to the meetings. Do not do field circus. Do not go the Tuesday night sales meeting. All of my family is still in and so it goes i am still in. I would consider completely DA'ing if my wife would do the same. I am ready for whatever comes my way as a result of my decision to fade.
I think that those of us who have spouses still in should stick together and continue to share ideas and experiences because they are very encouragin to me whether they are positve or negative.
I was a pioneer, MS, Bethelite and am now 32 years old and was supposed to be born in the new system, never supposed to graduate high school, never supposed to have kids in this system. How many of those things do you think HAVE happened, and still no new system.

I'm still waiting for someone innocent or guilty to commit harrycarry (sp) in a Judicial Committee Meeting, now that would make headlines.

i'm sorely tempted to picket the 2008 memorial.
i will go in disguise and carry a placard with the words :-.
"the governing body of jehovah's witnesses are false prophets.
Did anyone see the video the guy from sixscreensofthewatchtower.com did last year at the memorial, it was really funny the way the people acted coming in to the hall!

the story was kept hushed up, much as in any 'abuse' case that goes on in the wt world but, jws don't like anything to make the wt society look bad.. one jw woman out on 'the misery', reversed into and dragged down the street another jw woman who then broke both arms, ribs, pelvis etc.
infact, she is lucky to still be alive.
this horror was not announced at any kh in the country and kept quiet.
I worked for a JW contractor who was a PO. They deliberatly disabled the guard on a skill saw by screwing it to the main part of the saw thus keeping it from operating as it should. Me in my twentys just went along with it and literally cut my thumb off. Went through surgery and therapy to put it back on. After I quit working for him because he lied when he hired me, bills started coming to my parents house to be paid. My dad had to go and talk to him about paying them.
The reason I tell you this is because I could have sued him into oblivion or owned his business but, we didn't cause we don't sue each other.
