Did you witness at school?
by NomadSoul ini grew up being a witness.
i remember in elementary and somewhat in middle school i used to be really outspoken about being a witness.
i even had my own study with a classmate, which thankfully he lost interest because i was getting tired of it too.. but high school was a different story.

The funny thing is that I took an active part in school activities any way. Was part of the school council, part of the editorial staff of the school newspaper and also giving the graduation talk on behalf of the students....

I most definitely did. Gave speeches, witnesses to teachers and fellow students. Had a magazine route at school.
Handed out literature (one friend of mine got so mad when he got to chapter 4 in the red youth book, so he threw it in the wall).
Studied with a fellow student at grammar school.
She became baptized and a pioneer. But got out of the organization before I did and resettled and doing fine now.
In my yearbook at grammar school it was stated somewhat humerously... XX is a Jehovah´s witness, but sometimes he forgets!
(But I always behaved properly, the only things I guess they refer to was when I did a solo cosack-dance in the classroom...

Do you think Jehovah's Witnesses have more attractive young adults than average?
by sabastious ini was recently hanging out with someone that went to the convention last weekend.
he/she mentioned that the convention was chock full of hotties and from my memory of the conventions, and i have been to dozens, he/she was right.
one thing that comes to mind is that witnesses can lose privileges within the congregation if they are too dirty so cleanliess (neatness) is especially important.

A month has passed and life has returned to close to normal, at least for those directly affected.
News concerning this action are still on the front page news every single day in one way or another.
The last funeral took place yesterday, cause the sister of one of the terror victims had to be admitted from hospital in order to attend the funeral.
A recent survey has shown that 1 out of 4 norwegians, a quarter of the population of five million, knows someone who has been affected by the terror shooting or bombs.
That shows how such an event has a major impact on a small country.

What Is It That Really Troubles the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses?
by orangefatcat inwell i think what worries them the most is that more and more witnesses are becoming free thinkers and that is troubling them, it worries them that thinking freely will cause them to seek answers elsewhere and that is the last thing the gb wants.
they have pulled the reins so tight now how much tighter can they pull before many witnesss crack under their yokes.
what is your thoughts on this matter.. .

I´d say that they have a rock-star lifestyle is somewhat of an hyperbole and slightly inaccurate

Amazing - more than 100,000 people in Oslo (20 per cent of the population) gathered at the city square with roses in their hands showing support for the victims and a firm resolve to meet hatred with love, tolerance and compassion. I am proud to live in such a human country.

All the Nordic countries will stand still one minute in silence today to commemorate those who died in the massacre and bombings in Oslo.
