Oh and how about the experiences they gave at conventions. How we were protected by angels out in the field service. What a crock of vulture do do. I remember when four witnesses were out in service in a bad part of Mexico and they disappeared, only to be found later dead and tortured. So where were the angels then, huh? And shake your kids to wake up during the bone-numbing night time meetings. Heaven forbid they fall asleep like the little children they are. I really bugged the sister studying with me and my husband. My daughter was only 3 and there was no way that little girl could ever stay up past 8:00. She is still the same way today, ha. Well I made all her clothes. So I started making matching pillows, and blankets so she would be comfortable and warm in the Kingdumb Hall when she fell asleep. You would have thought I had committed the unforgivable sin...grieving the Holy Spirit...whatever the mysterious thing was anyway. I really got a good counseling for that. What a bad, bad Mommy I was. I think I just liked to rattle their cages to show them I was not going to turn into some Watchtower robot. Oh, and another thing that always irritated me. Why in the name of all that is holy do we think we have to slap on an American suit on people that attend meetings in the jungles of Africa or put them on Indian or South American or Asian people. Where in the Bible does it say we must wear a uniform to be acceptable to God...Grrrrrrr don't get me started. I have a list that must go on for pages. All the crap is starting to bubble up to the top of the septic tank!

Things That Irritated You When You Were A JW
by minimus inthere were some witnesses that loved taking notes for every meeting.
whatever you would say, the note takers were busy as a bee writing down every word.
especially if you went out of town to give a talk, certain ones (only sisters) would take their note taking very very seriously.. another thing that used to get to me was when you'd see the same people every assembly on the platform giving a talk or being in a part.

Thank you for the welcomes. I hope to have some great conversations here. Also, thank you for all the help in setting up paragraphs.
I have been a "lurker" here for many years. Nothing sinister. Just curious. Have been fading even before the water dried from the BIG baptismal dunking fiasco.
Be Well All,

I have waited for the first three, Compound. Then I finally realized it just wasn't worth the emotion I was expending on the situation. Now, I just feel...Hey it's their problem not mine. I'm gonna enjoy life while I still can. Some things you just have to let go of.

* The watchtower is a major stockholder in Rand Cam… a company that manufactures weapons of war. What are they doing trading in the stock market, anyway? Aren’t they a Non profit organization? How many shares of stock did Jesus own? Wow, coffee, this is a new tidbit to me. How can you document this? I am very, very curious.

Three unique things...
by TJ - iAmCleared2Land ini like this topic!
1. i went to an amusement park with friends when i was 17, when getting ready to go on the bumper boats the attendant told me to not step on the rubber part... listening wasn't my strong suite so i stepped on the rubber part and fell in much to the amusement of everyone there.
2. for my 18th birthday my friends took me to see male strippers, my friend held money over my head and when the guy came to collect i refused to put it in his g-string and he called me a prude.

I don't know about you, horrible life, but I felt so guilty sitting in the air-conditioned press box while all the rest of the dubs were sweating it out in the heat of the summer. I only did it once, but I would never have done it again even if it had been offered to me.

Darn I did two more unique things. Sorry I know it is over the quota. 1. I met Mathew McCononaughy and talked to him and actually touched his arm. He was very polite. 2. I sat in the press box at an assembly with Teresa Graves.

1. I was introduced to Magic Johnson at a party I was attending. 2. Watched my husband fly with the Blue Angels. 3. Nearly lost my life due to hemorrhaging from surgical procedures because I would absolutely not take blood.
