OMG! The Baptists!

last night, around 6:00, a couple of well-dressed young men knocked at my door.

i didn't think they were jw's, as they weren't carrying bookbags and they didn't have the "stepford jw" look.

but, i made my hub answer the door anyway.

But, I made my hub answer the door anyway. They were BAPTISTS! I couldn't believe it! They weren't exactly preaching, but handing out tracts about how all the SINNERS in the world were going to die and to avoid this heinous death you had to go to their church

Running away from all organized religion.........

Quality Inn Suites, Noblesville Indiana

by Rosco in

staying here on an over night business trip.

opened my drawer nwt bible i fell out of my bed.

called the front desk they are in every room here.. i will never stay at another quality inn even though they are owned individually.

Ghosthunter

I would almost bet that the manager of the hotel is a JW. I've stayed in a lot of Quality Inns around the country and have never seen anything but the Gideon bible.

I would agree with Tres. Post that on Trip Advisor. It's a great resource for people that travel and I know a lot of people that refer to it. Those NWT's will disappear QUICK!

I have also been both to Cedar Point and King's Island. It's been several years since I've been to KI, but only a few years since I've been to CP. King's Island is probably "prettier" than Cedar Point, but if you like rollercoasters, it is AWESOME! Highly recommend it. Although nothing takes the place of "The Beast" in KI, CP has a lot to offer.

We lived real close to Busch Gardens in Virginia for several years. More amusement parks need beer halls.....

What Couldn't You Do on Meeting Nights?

by Nosferatu in

jw
friends

it's funny how new rules were made in the house that applied to meeting nights only.

one major one was no video games before the meeting.

my mother also tried to extinguish worldly music before meetings.

Ghosthunter

My mom and I always ate out on Thursday nights as she didn't get home from work until 5:30 and didn't have time to make a meal. I remember we BOTH rushed out right at 9:00 so we could make it home to watch "Cheers" at 9:30.

Why did they do this?

after reading the following report, would you like to speculate on the reason why people do things like this?--schizm .

brick-throwing vandals strike 70 vehicles in overnight rampage .

Ghosthunter

Kids can be so stupid when they are bored. Something similar to this happened last year in my area (West Michigan). The poor victim was a woman in her 50's who got hit square in the face with a brick thrown from an overpass. She was blinded and had to go through several surgeries on her face. The teenage boys responsible were caught and were severely punished by the court system. Having teenage boys myself, I felt sorry for the boy's parents as they were devastated by their children's actions. The woman, bless her heart, publicly forgave the boys, something I don't think I could have done.

Senseless crime.

Parents don't understand...

by überRabbit in

my parents just don't understand why i don't want to be part of the jehovah's witnesses organization.

it's not that i don't believe jesus' teachings, but i believe that the society has taken it too far.

they read too deep into god's words, that they end up putting training wheels on everyone.

UR - Welcome to the board!

I wholeheartedly agree with Sassy. Do NOT get baptized. It will be much, much easier for you if you don't. Don't make the mistake that I did, getting baptized to make others happy. If you don't get baptized, then your parents will still be able to talk to you without the guilt.
