Your Most Embarrassing JW Moment

im just curious about this:.

mine is stupid, but thoroughly humiliating at the same time.. my mother made me wear high heels for the first time to an assembly when i was 15 years old.

it was all snow and ice that day, but i made it inside fine without slipping.. during the first session, the naughty girl that i was, had gotten bored, so i decided to go to the restroom.. i guess the floors were wet or something, because i slipped and fell down about 17 or 18 steps.... head over heels, quite literally.. i landed at the bottome with my dress up over my head, showing off all my under "wares: lol!.

The biscuit story nearly killed me!

This put me in mind of an embarassing field service story that happened to my dad.

My dad and his friend "Jim" went out in service with Jim's kid "Bob" and Bob's friend "Joe". Joe and Bob were about 7 or 8 at the time. So, dad and Jim go up to this door and begin some presentation that lasts a few minutes and somehow takes a detour into homosexuality and the bible's (read JW's) stance on it. Well, the householder keeps staring over my dad's shoulder. So, my dad turns around to see what's so interesting.
That's when he sees Joe and Bob embracing and kissing. Good job guys!
My dad thought that was the funniest thing. He even retold that story when Joe and Bob were like 14 and I thought that was the funniest thing!

just a funny memory...... my sister and i, once we reached pre-teen, were highly critical of almost all the congregation members.

we'd get home and mercilessly mock and make fun of elders, kids, you name it.

some of our fonder nicknames (warning: some may be weird, but we didn't get out much!

Man, my sister and I had a ton of nicknames for people at the hall. IN fact our dad had a bunch, too!
Here are a few:
The Grape Ape- a teenage brother who always wore a bright purple suit
The Evil One- a brother who looked like the devil
The Pink Panther- a brother who wore a pink (yes, pink) suit to the hall.
Gnarley- Real name Charlie. Ugly roommate of The Evil One and The Pink Panther. (A side note: These three roommates had pictures of topless girls up around their apartment until someone ratted them out to the elders. The elders made them take the pics down and then they were promptly replaced with pictures of muscle men, like body builders. Hmmmm?)
Yakky Doodle- A long winded, elderly brother who never ever shut up. *My dad made this one up!
Abe Lincoln- A brother who bore a striking resemblance to this historical figure.
Sister Piano Player- Actually, the "brothers" made this name up. She was an elderly sister who fell asleep during the entire meeting, but she played the beginning and ending kingdom melody. Elders would actually say, "Would sister Piano Player please come up and play song number whatever?"
