  I snuck an Elder's daughter out of her bedroom window one time at 3 A.M. when I was 16.

  She was the perfect JW too. I could have announced it on stage and nobody would have believed me.

  I guess there were some good memories!

  okay all you that have the opportunity to express yourselves on your licence plates.... it's time to re-new my pickup registration.

  i can do one of several options from just buying new stickers for two years or i can get new plates with any combination of six figures.

  it can be all letters, all numbers or any combination thereof.

  we had a whole family that moved into our congo when i was about 10. they had kids from 6 to 16-years-old.

  there was always talk of their beds spinning and shoes floating, et cetera.

  they lived in a literal shack so i didn't want to go there to spend the night, but i always wanted to go and "check it out" to see some fireworks.

  You can't forget about the giant wooden fork and spoon (from a yard sale, Jamaica, wherever) story that had me spooked every time I went to a friends house who had them as a kid.

  The worst is I remember telling them they should get rid of them!

  How embarrassing.

  I'm sorry friend, but this is another urban legend just like the one of the Smurf doll getting up and running out of the Kingdom Hall.

  Arthur, I hope you or anyone else didn't get the impression that I beleived that dumb story.

  So I know what to say when the Library argument comes up, what is in that library that would be worth associating with the UN that can't be obtained somewhere else?

  the elders made a threat to her that if she didnt tell the truth whether my mom was smoking or not, they would df her.

  Most of all I regret telling people JW doctrines like I was told when I didn't know the truth or even try to listen to my friends.

  Recently I've talked to some of my friends who knew me when I was in the JW's and they ALL tell me "We knew you were crazy we just didn't want to hurt you're feelings."

  Sorry to everyone I preached to and told how to live.

  You may think I am making this up but it was a very "real" story that circulated around the local KH's.

  Our PO and his wife went to a door in service and the door opened slowly and a dog was standing there.

  The DOG said, "Get out of here we don't like your kind".

  They stood there in disbelief (like they wouldn't run for there lives) and a minute later the CAT came to the door and said "Didn't you here the dog, get out of here".

  Sounds crazy but it was backed up by very "respectable" members of the cong. including the PO who would act like it was so traumatizing he didn't like talking about it.

  How about "And the evildoers, THAT IS, <insert whomever their mad at today>

  A bible scripture would be quoted and THAT AS would be their interpretation of whom someone 2,000 years ago was referring to.

  well, the reason I am asking is because growing up that was an everyday word at the hall and with everyone I knew. But I guess not. All those talks about bad grammer stumbles others and here we were using a word that doesn't exist? I never thought to question it because it was so common.

  Was that a local thing or did other ares use that? Just curious...
