  My Dad made us once...He took my brother with him to the Principle's house and told him it was his turn.

  Well my brother wasn't even close to wanting to be a JW. And on top of that he wasn't a great student. So when the principle came to the door he told the guy that because he was forced to go door to door he had little time for school work!

  Holy Cow was my Dad pissed!!! We never worked our area again.

  Even though there was a lot of yelling after that..it's still one of my favorite memories of my brother Scott. I lost him a few years after that. I miss him greatly. And I know if he was here today he would have helped and supported my leaving.

  mrsjones5,

  I'm glad to see I'm not alone in this. I do the same thing with my parents. They are both very active in the hall. They feel the need to remind me of all the requirements they have to meet.

  They just had the CO visit and were very busy,too busy to call that week. I told her it was ok I was busy taking down my Chrstmas tree and decorations.

  hehehehe...it gets sorta fun to play with her!

  We had several people who were mentally ill that got baptised in our cong. One of our elders was unstable to the point that he tried 3 times to kill himself. They still haven't removed him, they are afraid he'll take it bad!!

  i've been reading this forum for a while and i felt it was time to post my experience.

  i am very comforted when i read others experiences and how similar they are to mine, i don't feel alone.. anyway, i learned the truth in 97, got baptized in 98. all of sudden i was getting prvileges, parts on the ca and dc and had friends that seemed to care about me and i cared for them.

  eventually the love started to cool off, the meetings felt like watching reruns of a bland tv show.

  Have any weird home remedies?

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was comparing notes awhile back with a friend, about some weird home remedies we were raised with and how often they do work.

  what i was wondering, did you have any of these in your family and if so, what were they.

  i will give you a couple of examples of my own.. for a cold, my mom would mix lemon juice, whisky and honey and warm them up and we would drink this as a home made cough syrup.

  When my daughter was born she slept all day and was up all night. My Mother said she had her days and nights mixed up and to fix it I would have to flip her. (I thought she had lost it for second)

  She told me to hold her out so that her feet were touching me and to gently "flip her"(head over toe)Please do not toss your babies!!! They do not like that!

  Well anyway...I did it and low and behold it worked. She slept threw the night ever since!

  And for earaches warm some garlic oil and use it as drops in your ear.

  Oh and I use abersol when I pluck my eyebrows...no pain.
