We were close with a family in our hall who always told their kids to call us brother or sister,and to use our first names in front,hence I was sisterCharlene.In public they would call me that,and it made me feel like I was a nun!I always hated the brother/sister thing.It was stupid.

Being called brother/sister in public places
by JH inhow did you like being called brother or sister, when you were in public.
i remember once i was inside a bank waiting in line, and all of a sudden , a brother also waiting in line, said to me quite loud, hello brother x .
i felt like a jerk, being called brother in front of everyone there.

The snow is truly beautiful.....we have 7 1/2 inches here.But like DJ,handling kids ever changing minds makes enjoying it a little difficult.You spend you're whole day bundling and unbundling kids about 50 times!But it's worth it when you see the big frozen smiles on their faces!

YOUR BEST DRUNK STORY
by Mary inwhat's the worse thing you ever did while drunk (assuming we've all been drunk).........when i was 16, we all got blitzed out of our minds at a witness wedding that happened to take place on hallowe'en.
anyway, on our way home we thought it'd be funny to whip eggs at passing cars.
unfortunately, the first (and last) car i hit was a cruiser.......i realized this as the egg was in mid-air.

I went out with some friends to a club,and we rented a lime so we wouldn't have to drive.Apparantly on the ride home I offered the limo driver a blow-job(I do not remember this).Thank god my friends saved me before he could answer!!!That was the last time I mixed shots with beer!

Head Coverings as a Sign of Submission
by jgnat inthis topic came up in chat.
as an outsider looking in, i find the whole "throw a napkin on your head, quick" thing ludicrous at best.
it seems a lot of women resent the practice as humiliating and degrading.

Micheal Jackson: Bubbles isn't the only victim...
by WingCommander injust felt i would address the mj issue seperate from the below posts.
all of mj's problems started with the jw's.
it's very obvious.

I can remember back in the 80's when there was an article in People Magazine about Michael Jackson being a witness.There were even pictures of the Awake and Watchtower Magazines!I can also remember being at a convention and seeing some brothers walking around wearing one white glove!I wonder how long they had those gloves on before they were reprimanded,lol.Does anyone remember when Janet was on "Different Strokes"?She looked so young and innocent!
All I can say is they are one messed up family,and I do agree that alot of it was their upbringing in the JW's,and also a tyrannical father.Certain men are drawn to that religion because of the power they wield over people.They are the heads of their household,and their family is to be in submission to them.That's just my thought.

Hello, just thought I'd share my newbie story
by WingCommander insince i am new on this forum, just thought i'd share my story.
(though it seems typical on here) born into jw's.
parent's nutty jw friends told them to raise children like nazi's, and not allow them to do anything, or associate with anyone other than jw kids.
