-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".
One time as I was walking away from a door that I thought no one was at, it suddenly opened and startled me. I was really flustered and sort of forgot how to talk. All I could get out was "Uh, we're just some Jehovah's Witnesses..." The man promptly shut the door.
Another thing I used to do alot was instead of telling people to "have a good day", I would say "have a good idea". I hated when I did that!
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 .
attract a suitable "brother" for courtship
I love that you used this phrase. Talk about memories flooding back!

this struck me as a nice way to bolster the numbers.. isn't this "preaching to the converted" ?.
is this new or is it just reiterating old news ?.

...If the student qualifies for baptism before completing both books, the study should continue until the second book is finished. Even though the student is baptized, the conductor may count the time, the return visit, and the Bible study. A publisher who accompanies the conductor and participates may also count the time.
I think this part is new. It used to be that only one person could count time for studying with a baptized person, if I remember correctly.
well, i know you all pretty well now after 9 months of being on board , so i feel o.k.
to approach this subject.
this subject is a pretty touchy one for most of us men, especially those of us that have been put under the " knife" , and got to the point where we did not want any more children.

ok its time to recount all your favorite crazy jw urban legends, ill start i remember this one was told to me after i had left the org, there was a newly married couple, they were good little dubs, evil mother in law lived with them, she did not want to convert or study, well time went on they had a baby, and mother in law was into some spiritual stuff, unknown to jw mommy and daddy.
anyway jw mommy wakes up one night to find little baby dub sitting inside the fish tank with most of the water taken out and there was some kind of evil spirit present, mommy dub yells out jemimas name and breaks free with baby dub.
evil mother in law is asked to leave their happy home.
A rapist was loose in the town/city, and especially one park or forest area was his favourite crime scene. A pioneer sister was on her way home (or to) FS or a bible study one dark evening. And she had to go through that specific park. She prayed to Jah, and went on. In the middle of the park, she met this dangerous man, but he did not attack her. Later, after he was arrested, he was asked why he did not attack this woman (I always wondered how anyone could know what he did not do...?).
The rapist answered: But she was not alone, she was walking along with two men on her side.
I heard a different variation of this story. The lovely young pioneer sister was in field service and knocked on the door of the rapist. We were supposed to be amazed at this display of divine protection. It had the opposite effect.
Does any one know the one about the JW's on a cruise who witness to a "guy from the UN" ?
