  ABOUT NAME CALLING.....................

  by juni in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the congregation you attended/or attend, for new ones that come, did/do the members address them as "brother so and so" / "sister so and so" ??.

  or do new ones have to wait for a period of time to prove their "worthiness" of being addressed in that way?.

  In my old kh you had to wait to get baptized to be called that when i was growing up. Then once i was baptized they started calling people who were just studying bro and sis. I think it depended on how much they answered up, as the dubs just didnt wanna be rude to the new ones by just using their first name.

  Were you ever made a Victim because of exaggeration?

  2. friends

  just like a caricature, or drawing, where people exaggerate certain parts of your body, were you ever taken out of context, or someone exaggerate what you said, just to hurt you and get a kick out of it ?.

  <!-- .style1 { font-family: arial; font-size: 18px; color: #009933; } .style2 { font-family: arial; font-size: 16px; color: #009933; } .style3 { font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; } .style4 {font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: italic; } --> how did being referred to as a brother or sister make you feel?the term brother always reminded me of being in some militant or holy roller religion.

  during my tenure as a jehovahs witness, i brought it to the elders attention to refer to .

  me by using my first or last name when addressing me.

  I always found it weird and uncomfortable to call people Aunty and Uncle. I thought it was strange because then people thought they were related to me, which would then lead to a long explanation that ended with them looking at me strangely. Ok more strangely then usual.

  My top pleasures in life are:

  Spending time with friends and family, chilling and enjoying each other's company.

  Reading a great book, somewhere nice with a refreshing drink and great scenery.

  Watching an entertaining movie with frineds.

  Being on a secluded beach with nothing but the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks, with of course the obligatory very large drink.

  ouch you poor thing, my heart goes out to you. Maybe smugle in an ipod?

  Yeah an ipod is a great idea. At the last convention i went to they had a radio connection, so you could listen to it with headphones on.

  I did that a few times, and would listen to other radio stations instead.

  What sort of a witness were you?

  i'm talking door to door service work here.

  were you the kind who would insist on getting a conversation at ever door?

  or where you (like me) the kind who would take a "not interested" as an excuse to get the hell out of the householders face?
