  Like Crumpet said the best form of defense is offence. I too used to informal witness at school. I was in their faces with it and the kids knew i wasn't going to be upset by kids pointing out I was a dub.

  I do remember a few times the horror of working a street knowing class mates lived there but i also used to pull a scripture out for situations like that. It was something like "a prophet is useless in his own town" that was my get out of jail free card and I could wait at the end of a garden path and not do that door because of it.

  over the last few months i have been training three different men for backup position of my job.. we are alone in my car all day.. as a jw, i remember one time, needing to go to another congo in a different town to work on a part at an assembly.

  i was to ride with the brother doing the part.

  he was probably at least 30+ years older than me.

  I was at the KH one Sunday morning before the meeting had started the night before i had been out with some brothers and had had a bit much to drink. I was feeling pretty ill.

  I was in my early 20's and was friendly with this elderly sister who was in her 70's She had been a nurse at one stage and noticed I was a strange colour and when she asked me if I was OK I told her I felt a bit faint.

  She hauled me out of my seat and pushed and pulled me into the men's toilets where she rolled up my sleeves and put my wrists under the cold tap and let the water run on them. After a few minutes I was feeling OK again so we decided to leave.

  You should have seen the brothers faces when they saw us coming out of the men's toilets together! It was nothing to do with the fact that I had felt ill it was more to do with the fact i had been in there with a member of the opposite sex, even though she was at least 50 years older than I was!

  Did You Cheat at the Written Review?

  by south african beef in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  during the boring written review, did you really prepare and look up the answers beforehand, or did you just write anything down or did you copy the superdub sitting next to you?

  personally i just wrote any old thing down and ticked it as right when they read out the answers.

  however when i was growing up i had to get loads right or i would face questions from my mum!

  Ever know of a great family movie, the Witnesses found demons or evil in?

  by free2beme in

  i remember growing up, the witness children were often ones that were left to see all those g rated movies from disney.

  yet even those at time, while accepted by just about every religion out there, were considered demonic.

  for example, the following movies were said to show witchcraft and in or congregation we were encouraged to discard them and not own copies of them; sleeping beauty, snow white, the little mermaid, bed knobs and broomsticks, and fantasia.

  you are SO making up that E.T. article, right?

  Nope I'm not, the article "Christ or E.T.?" appears in a 1983 Awake 7/8 on page 27

  Taken from an Awake in 83

  E.T.?The

  Extra-Terrestrial burst on the scene in the United States this past summer, attracting theater audiences in record numbers. In only six weeks it grossed nearly $150 million. With spin-offs in E.T. dolls, toys and other merchandise?as well as the movie?s release in other parts of the world?it is estimated the public could spend a whopping $1 billion on E.T. Why the E.T. fever?

  The movie depicts an ungainly 3-foot (90-cm)-high creature from space, stranded on earth, who befriends a ten-year-old boy named Elliott. E.T.?s friendliness and benign powers, such as healing the boy?s cut finger and bringing flowers to life, win the affection of Elliott and his family. Sadly, a wasting illness appears to take the creature?s life. But when he is inexplicably "resurrected" before Elliott?s eyes audiences cheer. His touching good-bye, when E.T.?s alien friends take him home, leaves hardly a dry eye in the theater.

  Interestingly, many have noted parallels in the story to that of the life of Jesus Christ. Said Professor Albert E. Millar, Jr.: "I think the thing that struck me most was the idea of the capacity to heal, and then when E.T. died and was resurrected." We have in E.T., then, an enchanting Messiahlike figure that gives momentary emotional release to our need for a true friend with powers greater than ours. Therein lies the movie?s great appeal.

  Despite its seemingly Christian message, however, the movie subtly condones youthful misbehavior. In an early scene we find youths playing "Dungeons and Dragons" in a smoke-filled room with a lighted cigarette on the table. Later on, when E.T. gets drunk sampling beer, and Elliott in telepathic sympathy feels the effects, it is all portrayed as something cute. Further, some of the language used by these children is gross profanity. This, along with the supernatural aspects of the movie, has bothered many Christians.

  Whether parents or their children see this movie is, of course, a matter of personal choice. But because of the movie?s great popularity, let us not forget that it becomes an effective vehicle for sugarcoating youthful conduct that is definitely wrong.

  E.T.

  may be a skillfully constructed and highly entertaining movie. But it provides no substitute for our True Friend, Jesus Christ, who saves us from this dying, wicked world. After all, E.T. is make-believe. Christ is reality.

  Funny how that stuck in my mind, maybe that was the thing that started me thinking what bloody killjoys the GB were

  IS MAN INHERITEDLY GOOD OR EVIL?

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  all of us were raised by someone and even though our cultures vary greatly as to what constitutes "good" and "evil", there's some pretty basic guidelines that people are generally raised to believe.. if there were no set guidelines as to how we should act, would humans grow up good or evil if there wasn't someone else telling them what to do?

  what is our inherited nature?

  to be like ghandi or hitler?

  I'd like to think that we as a race are an intrinsically good race.

  It doesn't matter what culture we come from we all look up to and congratulate someone that does good works. So we all aspire to those works
