this little gem is from the watchtower, january 15, 2000...."in el salvador,one man tied his vicious dog in front of the door whenever he saw jehovah's witnesses nearby.

the man would wait for the witnesses to move on, and then he would bring the dog back into the house.

the brothers were never able to speak to the man.

THE ATTITUDE OF A BETHELITE
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
one of the most interesting things that i have noticed about being a witness is the awe that is given to bethelites.

it seems that if you are a bethelite, you are accorded special privleges in congregations.

you are honored when you visit a hall.

Ever lie on your service reports?
by The_Bad_Seed in
1. jw
2. friends
*laughing just thinking about it*.

did anybody out there lie on their service reports that they maintained the 'national average' when in reality you got .005 hours of service in any given month?

i magically always used to always get "10" hours out in service, while nobody ever saw me at the groups, no one ever caught on, or seemed not to -- maybe they just didn't give a shit.. i always lied so i could keep my microphone 'privelidges' -- that being, the privelidge to walk around at the back of the hall giving my deflated ass a break from those awful chairs they had.

Richard Scarry's Best Field Service Story--EVER
by LDH in
1. jw
2. friends
ok so pardon me for the take off on richard scarry--he really is one of my favorite all time children's authors.. but i had to share this field service story with you--it's the gospel truth!

hopefully, you can add some of yours.. while pioneering in upstate ny, my sister and i had frequent occasions to work in service with a married pioneer couple.

yes, they were window washers, but that's not the real story here.. they had a return visit on an elderly gentleman who was kind enough to take the magazines every once in a while.
