Never experienced the fist fight thing, although I did get into it verbally with a few pioneer sisters. They were so horrible, usually I was reduced to tears!

What Would A Jehovah's Witness Romance Novel Be Like?
by minimus ini was reading in the religion page of the newspaper today that the mormons are enjoying romance novels in which descriptions of the characters' sex lives are limited to little more the first kiss--- that could happen after they are engaged to be married........any ideas of what a jw romance novel might be like?

Hilary's audible cries were coming from her bedroom as her mother was trying to calm down her father. Hilary stared into her mirror and quietly thought "My God, my father's going to destroy my love life even before I have one...I can't let David see me like this..." So she quickly dabbed her eyes and face and went out to the front room. There was a knock on the door and Hilary quickly made her way to the door before Dad could answer it and there stood David, wearing a nice pair of jeans (tight in the right places, Hilary thought...) and nicely pressed shirt and cowboy boots. My hunky wrangler...she thought again! He quickly looked at her and softly said hi and smiled. From that moment on, Hilary forgot about everything her father had said to her just a few minutes ago. Hilary grabbed David's hand and said "please come in and meet my officially meet my parents..." David slowly walked into the den where her parents were sitting. Father's jaw wasn't on the floor anymore, it lay nicely in his lap. Mother sat there reading the latest Awake and dog-eared her page. "Hello David, it's so nice to meet you..." She and David exchanged pleasantries and then her father slowly stood up. "David, nice to finally meet you, Hilary and the elders in your congregation have told me so much about you..." Hilary tried to smile through her father's obvious Gestapo like tactics regarding David. She could only guess the theocratic background check her father had done. "What are you two doing tonight..." her father asked. David politely replied - "We're going to dinner with my brother and his girlfriend and then off to see a movie." Hilary's eyes gazed into David's and said - we'd better go..." Hilary and David were making their way out the front door and as they shut the door behind them, Hilary let out a loud gasp. God, I am so glad that's over with...she smiled at David. Before she could make her way into his car, she planted an open-mouth kiss on him... David stood stunned..."what if your parents are watching Hilary?" he asked and Hilary said "I don't care." Rebellion it seems, was starting before they got out of the driveway!

What Regrets Did You Have Because You Were A Witness?
by minimus inone of the biggest regrets a person might have is that they let their children become involved in the whole jw "thing".
you know---everything from the elders always cornering them to "investigate" something or even having the parents "turn in" their own kids......is there anything that you especially regret?

Here I go again, misreading topic threads wrong again - I thought it said "What rugrats did you have because you were a Witness?" Here are mine, starting off their apostasy rather well by attending a costume party for Halloween!

Who Was The Very First Poster That You Met In Real Life?
by Englishman inthe first poster that i ever met was philo.. we'd traded a few stories via the site and i realised that we knew some of the same people down in portsmouth.. he was very cagey as to his real identity, but eventually we shared emails and he told me all about himself.
one day, i took hl down to portsmouth to see my daughter who lives there.
i'd mentioned it in a post, that i was going in that direction.

How did all the animals fit on Noah's Ark?
by hooberus in.
many skeptics assert that the bible must be wrong, because they claim that the ark could not possibly have carried all the different types of animals.

I watched Willy Wonka over the holidays. Perhaps God used "Wonkavision" to fit all the animals in the ark. - lol
Seriously though, I believe in the account of the global flood in the Bible. I have questions, too, and some things I must take with faith.

Were Most Of The Elders "On The Ball" In Your Congregation?
by minimus ini think most of the elders relied on the "smart ones" to help them out.
my experience was that there was probably 2 or 3 "sharp ones".
the rest were dopey!

Hilary waited with much impatience while looking to see her date arrive. Hilary?s dad had a stern look on his face. She had seen that face before, he only did that look when he was going into a judicial meeting in the back of the Kingdom Hall. She remembered what a friend had told her who had faced her father several years ago in the back room. It?s not what he said, Hilary remembered, it?s what he didn?t say that spoke volumes. Hilary rarely saw that look, she and her fellow Witness friends called it the ?Judgment Jaw?. His jowl only looked that way when he was pronouncing theocratic fate on someone. ?Hilary, do you think what you?re wearing is appropriate for a Witness?? Hilary gave herself the once over and said ?Dad, I?ve seen others wear less out in service.? Dad?s judgment jaw dropped to the floor ?HILARY, I AM NOT CONCERNED ABOUT OTHERS, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT YOU!!!? Hilary?s mom heard the commotion in the front room and walked in on the two of them. She knew she was going to have to referee the two of them, and it?s not even football season, she thought. Hilary?s eyes welled up and she said ?Dad, I am an adult, and what I am wearing is fine, can?t you just get it?? Her mascara was smearing down her face, when she looked at her Dad? ?Dad here?s probably one of the biggest events of my life and you?re worried about every little thing!? ?No, Hilary, I am not worried about every little thing, but I am worried about his little thing, which probably won?t be little for long once he sees you in that outfit!? This time Mom?s mouth dropped to the ground. Hilary?s eyes gazed angrily at her Dad. She said ?Dad, I am going to fix my mascara so I don?t look like Tammy Faye Baker and then I am going outside to wait for my date!? Hilary stormed into her bedroom and shut the door. As she was slamming, her father did the curtain peaking about the time David drove into their driveway.
