i think it's time for a good laugh.
care to share some funny stories that happened to you or someone in your family?
i was thinking about my grandmother today......my dad's mother.
I had a 'worldly' cousin that was trying to build his own garage next to his house when two JW's dropped by out in service and to make conversation, asked him what he was tearing down! So much for feeling good about his carpenter work.

how many on this forum enjoy drinking wine or beer?
on what occasions do you drink wine or beer?
these are start off ?
In business I've had wine that costs $300.00 per bottle and I've also had wine that was $3.00 a bottle. I couldn't really tell the difference.
Is something wrong with me? Coke, RC Cola, Pepsi, Faygo Cola, and Wal-Mart Cola all taste the same too! Help!

i noticed on my calendar that october 24th has been labeled 'united nations' day.. do you think it would be nice to send the society and maybe the local congregation a card thanking them for the support the organization has given to the principals of the united nations as a long time ngo?
of course we would want to prove that in the card with the proper sources of that information.. just wondering....................... outaservice.

jws pride themselves as being different from "worldly" organizations and other religions.
they claim to have no clergy/laity groups.

dear grown-up students,.
a lot of adults were influential in my formative years, but right now i'm thinking of how school teachers got me to where i am today.
it's one in particular to whom i owe the most.
Oh, when I was in 3rd, grade, I fell in love with my teacher. But she was not interested as I was way too old for her! Shucks.
