What ticked me off that I couldn't do as a child was join the school band,join student council, try out for the girls basketball team, girl scouts,4-H you name it. I was so jealous of the kids who had fun things to do.

When I was a teenager I worked in a grocery store with a sister who was counciled because she was promoted to front desk service cashier ( cigarette counter). Cigarettes were just one thing sold at the service counter. Mainly at that time it was for check cashing and returns,stamps. One day an Elder had come into the store and saw her selling cigs. He told her " I hope your conscience is clean about selling tobacco." I felt bad for her at the time because she was so upset. She got another job a couple of months later cleaning. Over twenty years and I still think of it when I go to that store.

Witnesses And Their Obsession With Bible Names
by ColdRedRain ini was just thinking about all my old witness friends and how many of them have weird bible names.
i mean, who the hell outside of a witness would name their child "ephriam" or "hezekiah" or "elijah"?.
i guess they don't have to worry about being picked on by the kids at school for their names because most witless kids don't go to school anymore, lol.

Freeman.. Good for you standing up for your son. It must put a real strain on your marriage having to deal with a Jw spouse. Maybe you could superglue that bumper sticker on real good, put a clear coat on top of it. Could you just see them out in service trying to scrape the thing off.

My neighbor told me today that last Saturday the Witnesses had been on our street. I wasn't home at the time. He said he told them about the dateline program and that he had seen the silent lambs web site. He said he didn't want any part of a religion that would do that to children. He said they didn't defend themselves they looked at him and turned down the driveway. My little "preaching" work about silentlambs is spreading. What a great neighbor I have.

Weird Childhood Thoughts
by pettygrudger inwhen i was growing up, i used to think that as long as they made fuzzy loving commercials (i.e.
the faygo one was my favorite & coke second) that the trib & big-a couldn't possibly come!!!
i also used to plan how i would hoard food & water in holes in my backyard that we wouldn't have to eat all the icky mice & insects my mom said we would have to live on.

I remember when the news came on the tv and they would say something about peace or security I would get nervous. Oh no the big A is on it's way. I remember watching and thinking oh please don't say both those words together, or say we have world peace.

What is a Ministerial Servant?
by footprints inbecause this site has taken a survey of past or current ministerial servants and posted a list, i think it is important to make it clear that: not one ministerial servant was appointed by holy spirit.. current and ex ministerial servant are no more special or important than anyone else.
in fact some are a lot less trustworthy than the average.. .
on this note i would like to hear from all of you two things:.

Isn't a ministerial servant basically a elder in training? Do you have to be a ministerial servant before you could be an elder?

So sad to hear of a young persons death. It's amazing how they judge even in death. I remember when my favorite Grandmother died when I was a child, she had passed away very suddenly in the middle of the night. The next morning I was so upset,but my Dad made me go to school that day. He said you will probably see her in the new system. Since she wasn't a witness, he said now she will have a chance at everlasting life. I will never forget that coldness. My teacher and classmates gave me more sympathy than my own witness family.
