Oops! One more...
5) A sister (JoAnn Wakeling, a former fortune teller) counseled me because I told her that I often win stuffed animals from the Skill Crane (you know, when you put fifty-cents in the machine and you steer the crane to try to pick up the stuffed animals). She said that it is the same as gambling, that it's a game of 'chance'. So, since I could be such a wiseass, I counseled her for watching 'Backdraft', which was a rated-R movie.
my friend was counseled for having a bad attitude because he wore white socks w/ his suit.
1) For saying to a Circuit Overseer (Br. Conti) while out in field service, heading back to the car: "Who wants to ride shotgun?"
2) For rapping (even though it was a bible-based Rap...LOL) at a JW talent show/gathering. One lunatic brother shouted out in the middle of our (three JW rappers) performance: "Rap music is DEMONIC! Turn it OFF! TURN IT OFF!!!" He freaked out everyone. Then he ran outta the room covering his ears, trembling like he saw a scene in 'The Exorcist'.
3) My friend (Mark) had a bunch of us over his house for the first time. He took us on a tour. The first stop was his bedroom so we could check out his extensive record collection. Me and a sister (Colette) stayed in the room WITH THE DOOR OPEN while the rest of the group continued with the tour and we were sitting on his bed, looking through the crate of albums. The next day, I got a call from Br. Brooker (now deceased elder) asking me if I was in the bed with a sister. I explained to him the situation but, he still said I was wrong. LOL! Oh, and some out, fat, missing-tooth sister who smelled like old tomatoes dimed me out. She minded everyones business. Damn Millie Ross!!! (yeah, I'm naming names).
4) When I was DJing a wedding reception, some idiot Br. Righteousness was offended that I played a song called, "Girls Night Out" by Tyler Collins. It was a song about the ladies getting together and going out to have a good time without any men. The Brother said it can encourage wives to cheat on their husbands.
Ironically, Colette and I are good friends today and we are both proud exJWs!!!
word has it in new york city that the cozy days at nassau colisseum are over.
(for those of you unfamiliar with new york, the district conventions have been held at an indoor colisseum for for several years now.
prior to that new yorkers were forced into sitting for 3+ days in a hot, humid, sometimes rainy outdoor stadium.
The thing that sucks about Nassau Colliseum is the space (or, lack thereof). The rows are soooo narrow and the seats are uncomfortable. Even though I hated the outdoor conventions (and I spent most of my convention life at The Vet in Philly...Hell on earth), going to the Nassau Colliseum was always taxing on my knees.
Ah! But I have a funny memory of Nassau: One year I was seated behind a family consisting of a father that looked like Hitler and Moe (from the Three Stooges), a wife that looked like she was from the Leave it to Beaver era, and a daughter that was somewhere between autistic and retarded. She was very, very active and she was crosseyed. Oh, and her parents would dress her up is some ultra-corny Little House on the Prarie outfit. Each time we had to stand and sing, the little girl would plant firm kisses square in the crack of her daddy's ass!
Even funnier, somehow we ended up behind them again the following year.

I can't take it anymore!!! This thread is hilarious.
are you aimless?

I've been to paradise but I've...never been to me.

Yeah?
I guess they eased up since the 1980's!
Hey, did they tell you that same thing about the 'Hollywood Turndowns'?

What the...??? HAHAHAHAHA!!!
First, that annoying kid in the last photo?...I OWN THE EXACT SAME NECKTIE!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA! (Seriously, I do).
Also, I remember taking the Bethel tour. We had inside access to get on the roof of the building. The bootleg tourguide told us that the WTS turns down millions of dollars each year from Hollywood who want to use the roof for some scenic shots of NYC.
Finally, "As you can see, it was tight, hot, and smelled like fish. Like hell, but faker."....PRICELESS!!!
ever knock on a door and have an outstanding call for what ever reason,good or bad.?.
i cant name names because i'll end up giving my old congregations name / area away and i don't want to do that.
i was out one sunday afternoon with an elder we were doing a nice area but having no interest, we knocked on a door and a scruffy looking bloke came to the door (i recognised him straight away), the elder presented the mags and got a no thanks and started to put the mags away as the door started to shut.
I had a recurring call/return visit/bible study with an older woman, but not elderly.
Anyway, after I came to my senses and ran a flea-flicker on the Dubs, I telephoned for her to apologize for feeding her a load of crap all those times I "witnessed" to her.
I gave her the JW anti-drug, and now she admits that she never really bought into all of my WT spew.
.
hiya all.
i just wondered this becus i know lots of people have lost faith in god and the bible.. but if today something happened that proved 100 percent that god existed, would you go back to serving him?.
if God proved he was there would you serve him?
If I worked at McDonald's and he placed an order, then perhaps yes.
