Whats the dumbest reason youve been counseled?

by avishai in

my friend was counseled for having a bad attitude because he wore white socks w/ his suit.

When I turned 18, I decided to give back to my community by joining the Volunteer Ambulance Corps. The elders acted like I just joined a satanic cult. I was immediatly counceled by the elders. (They saw me in uniform while I was on duty). Of course, they gave me the standard crap, time away from meetings, study, service, ect. They even got down on me because a patch on my uniform had a red cross on it. . I was told that if I wanted to save lives, I should go out in service. They gave me the story about somebody who was going to commit suicide but didn't becuase JW's came to the door. Regardless of what they said, I stayed on the corps for a few more years until my back gave out. Probably one of the best experience of my life. Much more rewarding than going out in service. (Plus, I got to run red lights )

i remember, one of the songs i was told was a bad song, was bridge over troubled water.

apparently, it's about drug use.

what are some of the "worldly" songs you were advised to quit listening to that seemed harmless?edited by - nosferatu on 16 january 2003 13:39:50.

During the latter half of the '70's, Disco Music was considered evil. That music causes the young ones to jump up and down like monkeys and gyrate parts of the body in a stimulating and immoral way. Plus the fact that listening to disco music would make us want to go to Disco's in New York City where all sorts of drug use and sexual immorality occurs.

Jesus died on a stake?

by SwedishChef in

you've got to love the watchtower.

they must think that the general population has no bible available to it.

while scrolling through a list of their beliefs on the official site, there was one that really caught my eye because of its sheer ludicrousness.

Jesus DID die on a steak. It was a t bone.

Youth of today!

by RR in

when i was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning uphill both ways through year 'round blizzards carrying their younger siblings on their backs to their one-room schoolhouse where they maintained a straight-a average despite their full-time after-school job at the local textile mill where they worked for 35 cents an hour just to help keep their family from starving to death!

and i remember promising myself that when i grew up there was no way in hell i was going to lay that garbage on kids about how hard i had it and how easy they've got it!

now that i've reached the ripe old age of forty, i can't help but look around and notice.

And there was no Cartoon Network! You could only get cartoons on Saturday morning

Yeah, I used to love to HEAR the Saturday Morning Cartoons other kids were watching while I was out in Service every friggin Saturday. I would hear the cartoons through the door before I knocked. It was even better when we were going door to door in a apartment building. If you were lucky, you could hear an entire episode of Fat Albert by the time you did a couple of floors.
