  me and the hubby were talking about back in the day when we had to give public talks.

  i'm a natural chatterbox and not very shy.

  my hubby is just the opposite.

  I was terrified to get up on the stage. They say practice makes perfect; not in my case. My legs would skake and I also would get nauseated. The sisters have to put together what I refer to as a "play" and present the info in a realistic and interesting format. The real kicker is if you are not enrolled in the school you get labeled weak. How's that for your self-confidence? Oh---forgot the best part!! After all the time that was given to prepare your talk an elder with barely (usually) a highschool diploma grades you. I am getting a little weak in the knee's thinking about it....

  Yeah a topic about cats!!

  Our cat(s) like graham crackers, cereal. I thought our recent kitty had a sweet tooth until he started licking hubbies workboots and socks and dust bunnies. The other cat loves when my daughter buys starburst candies or mike&ikes---loves licking the boxes.

  after many months of lurking and researching on oh so many different topics, doubts, concerns, and viewpoints i decided to get my feet wet and start posting.

  many times i wished to contribute something to a thread but was to apprehensive to get an account.

  then as time passed and i read many more of the post from various members the uneasiness subsided somewhat and my desire to proceed into previously uncharted waters grew.

  Name something that JWs believe in that isn't in the Bible

  by Awakened at Gilead in

  my favorites are:.

  "paradise earth": not in the bible.

  "great crowd" of "other sheep" - two unrelated texts... put them together, and voila!, you just changed the destiny of millions!.

  These are all great!! Here's a couple more:

  1. Kingdom Halls

  2. questions for becoming an "unbaptised publisher". This one really got me to thinking.

  3. Liason comittee. ( spelled probably wrong)

  4. Worldwide preaching fund/any stupid comittee that has to be formed to just change a light bulb. Makes them feel important.

  dear lady friends,.

  i'm massively naif when it comes to the ways of the world.

  and 40 years a wta has not given me a great sense of what's real: crazy rules and regs on "appropriate behavior.".

  Dang it I came to this topic late!!! Just finished dinner with the family and saw this fun thread!!! Yes, Yes, Yes, I prefer a gentleman. But a gentleman to me is like James Bonds; he is classy even when he is kicking some serious butt. Romance is big with me and my guy is a real James Bond (with blonde hair)

  Good for you!!

  Can you imagine if Jw's were allowed to vote? Changes definately could be made. Although, they probably would be very conservative.

  Our relatives are like that too---when other people are around to hear them. I sometimes wonder if they talk that way so as to convince themselves that what they are doing is right. Or here is a thought; people who are so adamant about their belief's are possibly hiding something contrary to the way they really feel. I don't know... Sorry you had to go through that. Going through it myself.

  I replied earlier to this topic but couldn't help adding one experience. When my daughter was a little girl we went shopping to a well-known department store. As all mommies know you can't get on the escalator with a stroller; you have to take the elevator. Well, another mom and her stroller riding kid got into the elevator with us and she parked it next to the control panels and sure enough the kid started pushing buttons and set off the "in case of fire" or whatever button it was. That LOUD alarm went off and the elevator stopped. I don't know what what louder the siren or both of our kids screaming there heads off. Of course everything was fine and we got out alright but dear god---til this day I think of that when I get on an elevator!!

  by purpleplus in

  bethel is the witness equivalent to mecca.

  i never had a strong urge to go, unlike others in the borg.

  its funny to hear people marvel at the speed of the printing presses there.

  Even when my husband and I were in in pretty thick (elder& pioneer) the desire to go see Bethel was not there. If anything we would have spent the money on seeing NYC and sights around there!!!! Maybe that was a sign?
