For born in's: how did your parents get you to answer up?
by highdose inmy mum used to smack me on the arm with a rolled up wt when it was my turn to answer, she said it was " to make sure you didn't forget!".
most of the time i ended up just yelling "ow!
" and rubbing my arm, but she never got the message.. another way was to scream at me non stop all the way home after the meetings if i hadn't answered up.

i think in my hall it was a flipin goal of wanting to look the best and have the best answers, i never told my kids to answer up unles they wanted to and i never pushed em to just to look good to others,id see young kids as young as 4 and 5 answering up with sentences they would never understand , plus why do we even have to do it its stupid,i never asnswerd up cos im so shy but people in my cong thought i wasnt very up on scripture nd didnt prepare or anything, i did but dint answer, i just dont see the point in it realy cos to me in my hall it was seeming like a compertition. the ones with the best and most answers got the most prause and its all crap cos my son nows of a girl that was real bad at school but at hall everyone loves her cos she answers up out on min u know tows the line, but away from it shes as worldly" as the rest.

A werid experiance i had aged 13 with an Elder?
by highdose ini had a sudden memory of somthing that i had totaly forgotten about the other day.
when i was 13 i can remember a elder in my cong cornering me in the hall and asking me in specfic detail where i got undressed?
not content with being fobbed off with "in my home" he wanted to know what room, did i ever use the bathroom?

i wouldnt have found it funny, my daughter told me a old bro was telling her once how realy good looking she was and what a nice figure she had well she was 13 at the time same age so when she told me i told an elder straight away that was studying wi my son and he thought it was a misunderstanding so i said ow so if he was saying it to ur daughter ud think same then trhat he was just being complementry, he said it wa nothing but i instisted he do someat like have a word telling this bloke i new cos my daughter tells me everything and that hes not to talk to her in that way again and he didnt,n u dont say those kinds of things to a young girl wile ur stud on ur own with them ok,now if there was nothing in it he could have said it to her infront of others like saying sumat else like isnt she prety thats it not good looking nd mm u got a nice figure any how at the time she was like 7 stones wet through and no pubity hadnt started so he was deff out of order no elders deff should not be talking with young girls on there own in that way.

Have you ever had a prayer answered?
by nicolaou inprayer topics seem to be the bandwagon of the moment so i'm jumping on!
seriously, has anyone here asked for something specific in prayer and actually gotten what they asked for?
what convinces you that you wouldn't have got it in any case?
-

serein
alot of my prayers never got answerd come to think of it but the ones that did seem to get answerd deff made up for it.now maybe they never realy got answerd at all and its just crap but i like to think god was listening and finaly after i sorted my head out i got what i wanted.all i pray for now is for the end of this crap world and for a new one .

Anyone catch the history channel this morning on Egyptian Hieroglyphs and Doomsday?
by sinis inthey started talking about archeologists in the last 1800's that believed that the pyramids were a key to the future by measuring the passageways of the great pyramid of giza - this method is called the "pyramid inch".
anyways, they supposedly could foretell 1914, 2001 (9/11), etc.. as soon as they mentioned 1914 it caught my attention.
after all, is this not how the wts originally came up with the year 1914????

thats what the bible students beleive still now, they still follow bro russel and beleive that the pyramid in eygipt is important. i go on there site all the time and althoe i find it difficult to beleive the pyramid stuff i find them very helpfull in my quest for true scripture.

shunning is love - Feb 15 2011 Watchtower
by jj123jj123 in18 if you face a similar situation, please remember that jehovah sympathizes with you.
by cutting off contact with the disfellowshipped or disassociated one, you are showing that you hate the attitudes and actions that led to that outcome.
however, you are also showing that you love the wrongdoer enough to do what is best for him or her.

on another web site there anser was not wether it ment goverments of the world but wether i should sumit to goverments of men on the earth who are put here to teach us and they said yes,now i said so i should listen to the gb of jws then,
and they said yes in afect cos they here cos god alows them to be here and we need teachers cos we cant teach ourselfs from the bible, so now im all confused cos i dont want to follow man i want to do it myself and acording to them i cant cos god gave us teachers and we should be listening to em.now im scared iv left the holy people of god to be in satans world and that iv fell of the path. so iv sent em another replay saying how do i know who to listen to if all religions claim to have the truth and be gods holy peole.
