  yup- I was a freshman in HS and an on again/off again friend of mine said the "F" word when we were "off". The elders said that since no one else heard it (except wordly people) he couldn't even TALK to her.

  my whole life, even when i pioneered, i dreaded field service.

  i was always uncomfertable rolling up to peoples houses uninvited.

  so i used to have this technique where i would pretend to ring the bell.

  2. experiences

  my son has come to stay with me for the summer, and this morning i got a phone call which showed on the caller id as my son's grandparents (my jw ex's parents who are also jw).

  i assumed it was my ex calling from their house and answered handing the phone to my son.

  that's when i heard his grandma's voice on the phone.
