  -did you ever stuff up your presentation while going door-to-door?.

  i remember one beautiful summer day, me and my 'partner' were slowly approaching a man working in his garden.

  it was warm, it was sunny, it was beautiful, it was peaceful and quiet - you might say it was "paradise".

  Me and my best friend at the time (we were about 14-16 years old), walked to a house, rang the door bell, and waited.
  It took awhile, and no-one answered. We were just standing there small talking, and suddenly the door burst open. Both of us just jumped in the air -- and started laughing.
  And we could not stop laughing. Imaging, two girls of that age...
  
  I can't remember if it was my turn or not, but I think we someway managed to give away a couple of magazines and walked away. Laughing and really embarrassed.

  this is a talk i did in 2000, i was going through some old papers and came across this........laugh at me, lol, i don't mind.

  i was a good sister!!!!!.

  what i think is important about this is, i gave the talk in 2000, i was on this board in 2005, and last month i was a small voice on the phone to a radio station speaking against the wt about the disfellowshipping and shunning policies when a member gets a blood transfusion.. there is hope for those that seem hardcore in.. .

  The newspaper article is dated March 15. So must have been the week after you!

  Ah. Of course. I guess there were a few weeks of similar topics.
  Anyway, it was kind of fun (and kind of boring) to find and read these old talks again.
  
  I usually played out a "bible study" or a "revisit" in my talks, it seems. Though, in my real JW life, I never had a bible study, and almost never had a revisit...

  Oh. Memories...
  
  They're like hollywood, all these talks. Always a "happy" ending, wasn't it?
  
  I don't think any of my talks have been saved from the trash. Maybe that's a good thing.

  [Edit: OMG! Just for the fun of it, I searched my CD/DVD archive -- and there I found at least 7 talks from 2000
  Oh, and BTW: Thanks for sharing, purple! ]

  My years as a Social Misfit - memories come flooding back!

  2. friends

  so i was on facebook last night and just started randomly searching names and checking out people i knew, their profiles and friends etc and i came across a whole bunch of names of jw people i knew as a teenager.

  a whole host of memories came flooding back, unpleasant and happily forgotten memories.. ... feeling lonley, unpopular, gossip, cliquiness, bitchy comments, feeling like i would never attract a suitable "brother" for courtship and other such silliness.... i went to bed feeling very disturbed and sad and uncomfortable and i had a horrible night.

  but the fact is, i am now an adult and i am generally well liked by most i meet (or so i think .

  ... feeling lonley, unpopular, gossip, cliquiness, bitchy comments, feeling like I would never attract a suitable "brother" for courtship and other such silliness...

  Well, I know exactly how that feels!
  
  Sometimes I too have memories and feelings flooding back to me. It's not a good feeling. But thinking about it, that you need to look back to feel that way, it's not that bad either.
  
  Within reason, of course.
  
  When I look back to my teens as a JW, I see a totally different girl that what I have become. I too feel sad when thinking about all the loneliness, and some of the few good friends I had back then.
  And finding them (seemingly) happy and well on Facebook, sure is a trigger.
  
  If you're really struggling with this, a little professional help won't hurt. At least it did me good.
  
  Good luck to you!

  Sweden is great, mostly because they have a great neighbour
  
  But, to respond to the topic, yes Scandinavia is very secular. Here in Norway it depends on where you go, though. The west and south parts are very religious. But I think it's getting less and less religious the further to the north you go.
  
  The difference between Norway and Sweden is that Norway has a state religion (lutheran) and Sweden has no state religion. So I guess Sweden is a bit more secular.

  Donald MacDonald from the Isle of Skye went to study at an English
  university and was living in the hall of residence with all the other
  students there. After he had been there a month, his mother came to visit
  him.
  
  "And how do you find the English students, Donald?" she asked.
  
  "Mother," he replied, "they're such terrible, noisy people. The one on that
  side keeps banging his head on the wall and won't stop. The one on the
  other side screams and screams all night."
  
  "Oh Donald! How do you manage to put up with these awful noisy English
  neighbors?"
  
  "Mother, I do nothing. I just ignore them. I just stay here quietly,
  playing my bagpipes."
