the big bang?

-do they leave room for it as a possibility for jehovah to have created the universe?

(i heard an elder say once that the society doesn't necessarily rule out the big bang as a possiblity).

it seems like i was really wanted at the memorial this year.. .

first invite: saw a jw in a gas station while i was eating some food with my friend.

he invited me to the memorial orally.. second invite: it was a saturday morning, i was in the shower when a jw came, mom answered the door and talked with him, he left a memorial tract and some magazines.. third invite: found a somewhat crumpled memorial tract with a few small tears on my porch.

on friday it was about 70 where i live, so my cousin (who is an unbaptised j-dub) and i decided to play some tennis.

as we were walking out of a store (we were looking for tennis balls) i see two older j-dubs driving by, staring at us.

i havn't been to the meetings in months and i think they were shocked to see me with a beard.

it's been a few months since i've been out in service and almost a month of no meetings.

the co is visiting soon and i'm already paranoid enough about random stops by elders (although this hasn't happened yet).

should i worry when the co is here?.

i love reading peoples funny stories, angry stories, fading stories, quitting stories, etc, etc...i'm running out of old threads to find them on so i thought i'd start one.

Paranoia is killing me
by FifthOfNovember in
1. jw
2. friends
when i have "worldly" friends over i am constantly checking the window every time i hear something that even remotely sounds like a car door.. when i play violent video games i constantly pause the game and look out of the window every time i think i hear a car door.. when i go to the movies to see something rated r i always look around for witnesses.. if i suspect witnesses will show up i "witness-proof" the house.

i hide 10 out of the 12 x-box games i own.

erase the history on my desktop, laptop, ipad, and cell phone.
