  oh no! you just brought back a memory

  i was at the assembly and i was with some friends who decided to sign up to volunteer. I went along so i could get up and not have to be

  in my seat falling asleep. So we got toilet paper duty. we had to put rolls of tissue in all the bathrooms. my friends acted as if someone gave them a gold ticket they were so frantic and happy and pleased. I thought something was wrong with me. I didnt mind putting tissue in the bathroom but i just didnt see why it was such a big deal. sisters rarely get to do anything besides fieldservice and kingdom hall cleaning....so they were so thrilled that the brothers were giving them instructions on how to put the toilet paper in the bathroom. In the back of my mind I knew it was stupid but being a dub i just smiled like the rest. In fact single sisters( in my cong.) would always act all giddy and frantic if they had some type of interaction with brothers especially if they got some type of instructions... i think it gave them a glimpse of being married.

  a long time ago someone on here stated that the brothers in the hall looked like porn

  stars with those thick mustaches. it does look weird. either a bro has a bald face or a thick

  mustache.

  Your worst field service experience.

  by littlebird in

  2. experiences

  my worst field service experience was this.. i didn't have a car at the time and so a pioneer sister was picking me up of service every couple of days.

  she was my partner and i got a door where the woman was clearly not interested.

  as i am stepping away the pioneer sister starts in with all the objection stoppers.

  I tried preaching to two men from the Nation of Islam (you know the brothers with the bow ties and the Final Call papers)

  I got ripped to shreds, they told me that a white devil started my religion and as a black sister i should be ashamed of myself.

  i wanted to click my heals three times like dorothy in the wizard of oz and be home. at the time i didnt know anything about jw

  history. They knew everything. The next time i ran into them (different ones) i was with a bro from the hall. I kept trying to tell him

  to just leave them alone but noooo he had to try to give them the good news. They ripped him to shreds. I kept quiet and stared down

  the street.

  JWs having Facebook Sex - Strongly warned to get off FB at CA yesterday

  by shopaholic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so it appears that jws are letting their freaky side come out on fb for everyone to see.. there was talk on the ca yesterday strongly warning all true lovers of jehovah to delete their fb accounts.

  the talk was solely about fb.

  the speaker mentioned that jws are associating with people that would not associate with in real life, often using the excuse that the person is a relative.

  i'm with you cry...FB is mostly family members sharing pictures and work mates sharing their daily activities...it's all quite G rated most times

  a bit boring. it's just a way to keep in touch with distant family and friends and to know that they are o.k...check out the lastest pictures

  of nieces and nephews. the most intimate i've ever seen was a person sending a heart...oooh aint that sexy. bunch of goofies. i had a few

  jw facebook friends that would go on and on about field service and etc...i bet no one knew what they were talking about anyway.

  What kind of women do men want?

  by semelcred in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i ve just read the blog asking what sort of man a woman wants!

  i am fed up in this world that men don't stand up and start letting the sisters in the world know what we really need.

  lets take the game to them!!.

  ok i'm a woman but this is my opinion

  1. sex

  2. a good sandwich with an ice cold soda or beer

  3. someone that doesnt talk much

  4. someone that will allow them to watch sports, play video games or any other

  hobby without interupting or talking during the process.

  5. someone who will laugh at their jokes

  6. someone who won't try to change them (men actually like themselves the way they are)

  men are simple...we would love for them to be complicated and try to make them complicated

  but they are not. i don't think this applies to all men but i believe it applies to most :)

  A way for the WTBS to solve all its problems.

  by JeffT in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as long as they're redefining words like "generation" in ways that suit themselves, they should just go whole hog.

  announce that armageddon occured invisibly and we're now living in paradise.

  everything's done, go home, shut down the printing presses.

  They actually did that some years ago...they started saying that we are living in a "spiritual paradise"

  and if you as a faithful jw wanted to really enjoy it that you needed to heed all the counsel given.

  i had a death in my family and we were all very devasted because it was sudden

  well i'm df'd and i was living with my sister who was studying at the time and

  all the jw's from her congregation was coming over to the house. this so called

  "sister" had the nerve to say " i'm only talking to you because of the situation

  after this is over things will have to go back to the way they should be". I just walked away

  I had to ask the elders if i could attend the repass with my own family. DISGUSTING

  Did You Ever Have Any Dirt On Some Witnesses?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i knew some elders that were very reluctant to go after certain people because those people knew little secrets that they kept to themselves.. many bethelites i knew were huge drinkers.

  there was kind of an unwritten pact that if you were cool with it, you were part of the "in" group= you would get "privileges" and bigshots would be your "friends".. did you ever have something over another witness?

  ?.

  i was at an elders home doing some work and came across his porn collection

  i never said anything to anyone. He was a nice person and i just felt like it was

  none of my business. Although i wonder how could he sit in on JC meeting

  reproving and disfellowshipping people about imorality when he's addicted to it.
