FS wasn't too bad, we lived way out in the country.. so we would drive around for an hour, stop at 3 houses, go get coffee, go back and do 5 more houses. and there was always the advantage of getting in a cargroup with a guy I liked and stareing at him all day.. and thinking bad thoughts about his mother. it was a great way to spend the day... When my brother was little he would play with his hands, one hand would be the good guy the other would be the bad guy and they would fight, complete with sound effects, whoosh, bang, boom.. it drove the people sitting around us crazy :) he was only like 4 but everyone wondered why mom couldn't control him. One time he commented in the middle of the Public talk, the speaker said something about, does your family study regularly. And he stopped looked up and said no.. and then when back to playing with his hands. :)

When I was younger I would sneak off to the bathroom and sleep in peace, without my mom jabbing me to keep me awake.. and I district Conventions.. I would go the the bathroom that was the furthest from where we were sitting. At regular meetings me and my sister were allowed to get up 1 time, and not at all at book studies. we had this really old elder's wife that would complain about us playing in the bathroom. :( poor little children, also we were not allowed to go to the bathroom at the same time, or at the same time as other girls in the cong.. man now that I think about it there were a lot of bathroom rules.

it says that you get $1 for every 5 people you refer.. that is the only way they are going to get anyone to join. The good witnesses are all out in service and the bad ones have myspace. So maybe if they pay people someone might join.

Can a JW be a Notary Public?
by Wordly Andre ini am not sure how it is in other states but in california you have to raise your right hand and take the oath of office, in that oath you swear or affirm to the best of your ability, preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the united states and the laws of the united states so help me god.
is there a conflict for jw's on this?
jw do not serve in public offices, a notary by law is a public office, due to the fact that you swear to protect and defend the constitution you are saying that you are allies with the united states.

I asked my mom.. she said that one of the elders in her hall is, because they have to have their Power of Attorney notarized and almost all witnesses have them now. (I hate that my mom doesn't have me listed as hers.. what kind of person does she think I am??) anyways.. she also cannot believe that he would register to vote, and didn't believe me when I said that he had to be, I took Political Science last semester and we talked about it in class.. She said that my (lawyer) teacher just must be wrong.

When I was in it I rarely felt as if I had missed out. I had myself convinced that I really did get as many gifts as everyone else, looking back I really don't think that it was true but I believed it at the time. I really wanted to be in Track and Field events and that was the only thing that I really wanted to do but I didn't bother asking cause I knew the answer. But I quit when I was 17 and I am going to college now, I am so glad. My mom went to college before she became a witless, so I always planed to go to college no matter what anyone said.

when I started reading the books I tried to tell my mom that it was no different than Snow White or the Little Mermaid.. it was not very helpful tho because then she just got rid of those movies, but It might work for you.

..new things in my area...
by all_along_the_watchtower inhey, im not sure if anyone knows of this, but recenetly (well actually like about 3-4 months ago) jw's in my area have been told to create emergency preparation kits for themselves or thier familys, and to give the elders phone numbers of non-witness relatives for emergency contacts.. also one thing that they've just started doing is the elders are going around giving "sheparding calls" to everyone in the congragation and asking them questions such as *( they said this from the platform) "what do you find the hardest about being in the truth" or something along those lines.. i think that just might be a local thing, but it is strange and over the many years they have never really done any thing like that.. and the emergency thing i thik is strange too.. maybee they think a disater will happen here.... just thought i would mention this 'cause i find it a little strange.. well not that strange, their always on to something new and crazy...
