What the Hades is going on at the local Kingdom Hall?

by AK - Jeff in

the kh that i attended has always held it's meetings on sunday morning, and still does.

even on the days when the co visits there are normally only a handful of cars left in the parking lot after 3 pm, as the co typically quits service and heads home by 3 or 4, and besides, if you are not in his group it is usually 'take a few doors, count an hour, and get home in time to watch the game' attitude.

so today i drive by after work - it is 4 pm when i pass the kingdom hall, and the damned parking lot is just packed - maybe 45 or 50 cars in the lot.

Is it the special talk?

Amazing abuse of privacy...

my sister and her husband live in another city/state from me, so i don't get to see them that often.

he's a ministerial servant, they have two young children.

i heard a story that happened to them recently.... he was taken aside by an elder, who wanted to inspect his bag to see how many toys they were bringing to the meeting for their daughter to play with.. apparently, someone complained!.

brunnhilde

Don't you know the only acceptable toys for a one year old to play with at the meeting is the Bible Stories book or the Great Teacher book? What's the matter with you? Obviously he did not have his household under control. I'm surprised he wasn't removed as an MS!

I'm so thankful my son and I are out! Last Saturday night instead of hissing at him to sit still or ELSE I was watching him having a blast at his friend's birthday party - what a huge improvement!

They Push You In,,,,Then Punish You If You Go!

by new boy in

they brag about the fact that they the don' t baptize their babies because "how can a baby 'know' what religion it wants to believe in the rest of it's life!".

but a 14 year old does?.....they put so much presure on their children to get dunked, that if your not baptize by 18 years old there is something really "wrong" with you.. so the poor kid does it, just to get everyone off their backs.

legally a minor can't be held to a contract if they are under 18 years old and why?

I was fifteen, almost sixteen and felt like I had waited as long as I could without getting sidelong glances.

I got an invite too!

by mrsjones5 in

ok, i'm driving down the road today with the hubby from our favorite bookstore, trying to get home so i can take my daughter to her scout meeting and i get a buzz in my ear from my cell from my father (i have bluetooth .

whew!.

my hubby, the nut that he is, asks if my dad wanted me to go to california for the memorial.

brunnhilde

Ack, I got one too, and the sad thing was I think my dad was more uncomfortable asking me than I was saying (very firmly) thank you but NO. I know it's partly brainwashing and partly because they genuinely think it's showing love, which come to think of it is brainwashing, so it's ALL about brainwashing, but I am gonna lay me down some boundaries. I don't WANT to be invited. I know damn well and good when the Memorial is and even if I don't, I know exactly who to ask. Do NOT drag me into your little membership drive so you can brag about how big your attendance was - it's like frat boys comparing their, ahem, well, you see my point!

What Crazy or Funny Practical Jokes Have You Played On People ?

by flipper in

or it could be crazy and funny both!

i think we have all had pranks played on us as well as played jokes on others as well.

somehow - i have found it certainly loosens life up somewhat , and makes it more enjoyable, having a sense of humor !

brunnhilde

A former boss was quite the macho guy and used to joke about being the rooster in the henhouse (there were only three of us in the office, him, me, and another woman). So one day before he came in I changed his computer so every time he opened a program, closed a program, got a message, anything, a sound file would play of a rooster crowing. He wasn't particularly computer savvy and didn't realize it was coming from the computer. He kept asking us if we could hear a rooster, and of course we feigned ignorance! After a while he decided there must be a few wild chickens in the little woods outside the office. We let him in on the joke after a week!
