The more I think about this the angrier I feel. These subjects should be discussed between parent and child in a relaxed environment. Not at someone elses home with other adults and kids around.
Its ludicrous. Really it is.

getting the best out of it!--1976-approx.-7mb-(standard pdf) what does the front cover of this book look like?
it's the commercial world that basically sets and encourages styles.

I'm sure I remember studying that book at the group study on a Tuesday night in the early eighties. And the young brother who had to read was really bad at reading and was probably made worse by the subject matter. It must have been so humiliating for him. It was bad enough for us young one listening. What is wrong with these people.
whether you are a male or female, the organization was always making you try to reach out for extra privileges whether it be pioneering for a month, year or a lifetime, going to bethel, or becoming a "servant" in the hall.. did you feel compelled to "reach out" or did you want to do more for "jehovah god"?.
They took away my so called priveledges of being allowed to participate in field service and meetings, whether it be giving talks and answering when I was reproved. To me it was the best thing ever. Felt like Christmas, not that I knew what Christmas felt like. I was gutted when they gave me those priveledges back.
i am a housewife, and no one has knocked on my door to spread the "truth",not even on the weekends.
question, has anyone experienced this... or has the preaching work slowed down?
or are the witnesses less active, zealous?.
Yes, 2 sisters knocked my door a couple of weeks ago. I knew they were dubs immediately. I was chatting to a friend on the phone when I answered the door and one of the sisters asked if they could call back later. I replied ''no, you're alright love'' and shut the door.

One memory that sticks in my brain was when I was around 5 or 6 years old and our meetins were held in a local school gym. The loos were at the end of a corridor. You had to pass the cloakroom before reaching the ladies. To a 5 year old, this corridor seemed endless and I would be frightenend to death walking down there alone and having to pass the cloakroom on my right. I would creep past thinking there would be a giant lion waiting to pounce on me and eat me all up. I remember saying a little prayer to Jehovah as I walked and would whisper his name under my breath because that way Satan wouldn't get me.
i see some here who seem to despise the religion.
others seem to feel that witnesses are wacky but they don't hate them.. do you hate this religion?.
I didn't until I started coming here
every now and then my mum reminds me of the time when she was called to my nursery school by the head teacher because i had been telling all my friends that they would be destroyed at armageddon.
can you imagine what the other parents must have thought when little johnny and little doris went home crying asking why they were going to be destroyed for not sharing a toy.. my mum seems to think it hilarious and implies that i was the one being naughty for saying it in the first place.
i should never have learnt such things!!

i keep reading comments about smurfs but i don't understand.
please can someone explain..
I was around during the 80's but don't remember anything about Smurfs other than watching them on TV.
My four year old just watched the video with me and laughed her head off at the singing. She made me play it twice. Oh the memories. I can't stop laughing.
