funny times growing up a witness
by strymeckirules in
1. jw
2. experiences
i was raised from the age two as a witness by my new recruit parents in 1981. i was born in 79.. i didn't like being jw, and that didn't mean i was a saint.. and my parents were fanatical and still are.. i have an an older sister and a younger brother and we are all 2 years apart.. my brother and i were a riot.

mischeivious, rambuctious, hyperactive and not afraid of nothing.. we had games over the years.. like singing in british accents during the songs(and during bible reading at family study) and screwing with the word just loud enough for each other to hear.. we used to have armrest battles when we sat beside eachother.

pushing elbows until the other slipped and got in trouble.

Song Lyrics that have hite a chord!

ever listened to a song, and the lyrics really touched & hit a nerve with what you are going through faith wise?.

i listened to an album the other day for the first time and there was a lot - quite a few of the songs hit.

i'm not afraid to say that driving along, some made tears well up a bit - it was the robbie williams escapology album, the songs "better man" and "come undone" had lines in them that really hit home.

mine will surely give me away, but i don't care.

when i was preggers, i was supposed to have a c-section the first week of the new month.

so i knew i needed to go out in service so i would not be irregular that month.

there are so many after after 52 years in the "borg".. my top two would have to be at my last hall tigard oregon.. one lady slept in her pickup truck with 30 parakeets, sometimes in the kh parking lot.

people tried to help her with accommodations but she like the truck.

she really dressed up for the meetings......feather boa's, big hats, looked like may west from the 30's.

Can someone explain to me the story of the tower of Babel?

2. bible
in genisis 11:6 jehovah appears to be worried that mankind will be able to do anything they desire.

did jehovah scatter men and use different languages as a controlling measure to make us dependent on him?

what happened to freewill?
