Do you remember a CRUSH you had at the Kingdom Hall?
by Fruitcake ini remember mine... .
we were both studies, my friend and i, but she went to another congregation.
she would call me up on the phone, and tell me this crush she had on a young single elder in his thirties.. she would bake casseroles for him every week and he'd take them home.

PS, I remember this story on how charming this elder was.
One meeting my friend didn't bring a casserole, and the elder was perplexed, and actually went to ask her what was going on, I guess he was really being hooked on her home cooking.
Anyways, she tearfully said her oven had broken down, and she couldn't cook for him that night.
He but his arms around her. and said it was going to be allright.
The next day, a brand new microwave was delivered to her house!
It was sad he never fell in love with her, but he was in love with her cooking!!

We were both studies, my friend and I, but she went to another congregation. She would call me up on the phone, and tell me this crush she had on a young single elder in his thirties.. She would bake casseroles for him every week and he'd take them home. She was a decade older than him at least, but she was so smitten she wanted me to write her a love poem to give him.
I was getting intrigued with this guy too, and looking forward to her weekly phone calls..just to hear what he was up to, and hear her amusing efforts to win him over. She was sad because she told stories on how other single sisters would be unkind to her, obviously, every single sister was after him!!
Well, I gave her advice and reasons why he wasn't responding to her, although he was eating her casseroles, I told her she wasnt yet baptized, and he'd only respond to a baptized sister.
Well, she got baptized about six months later, along with me. But she called me up with the sad news that the elder had moved. Maybe he wanted to get away from all the sisters in his cong, after him?
I transferred awhile to another congregation, and remember one service morning, sitting with my head down, taking a nap, when I hear a brothers voice I didnt recognize conducting the morning service...
I look up, and up, and see one of the tallest most dazzling, handsome guy I have ever seen! He was blonde, and so cute, think about the second Bachelor on ABC's the Bachelor, Andrew Buerge,, he kinda looked like that, but cuter..
Anyways, I found out it was the elder my friend had a crush on for so long, the one I stayed up late at night with my friend, hearing stories about him. The one I wrote love poetry for. so this was the first time I had ever seen him , yet I knew so much about him.
I was single at this time. and looked at this elder as potential husband material. I had a crush on him and even made him a lunch one service day.
Some sisters in my congregation teased me to no end esp after I made him that lunch. In mean ways they implied I was not good enough for him, etc, etc, it became so unbearable that there was no way could stay in that congregation.
I still wonder whats up with him since he would really pack the Hall, whenever he was giving a talk. Single sisters from all over the city would come to see him.
Sigh.....I am happy though with the man I have today.. I'm glad not to be the wife of an elder.

Hurtful people deserve only pity.
by Skeptic ini had a complete stranger deliberately seek me out and be rude to me today.
it appears to be some sort of game, a rudeness contest perhaps, played between two people.
i know i didn't deserve the remark, as i was not even looking at them, and one literally poked me in the side to get my attention.

Rude and abusive, and weird, reminds me of the society,, If you're no longer dealing with the Witnesses, you got the rudist, most abusive and weird people out of your hair, The rest of the world should be a piece of cake..
Why, cause when the Witnesses are naturally being their rude, abusive and weird selves, its called hypocrisy.. When the world does it. its drug abuse, bad upbringing, alcohol, or caffeine withdrawal.....
You sound like though you have a big heart, but you recognize your limits. Not giving up entirely on people, but knowing when to keep you and your family safe, is a hard judgement to make.. Best wishes....

Are you superstitious?
by JH in.
so many silly superstitions exist and many people really believe in them.. for example, if you break a mirror, you will get 7 years of bad luck.
some people are afraid of friday 13th, or seeing a black cat, and so many more superstitions.. are you superstitious, and about what?.

I'm not afraid of Friday the 13th, I'm afraid of Monday Book Study night, Thursday Ministry School, And Sunday's Watchtower and Public talk.
Black Cats?? Be afraid of a JW in a Black suit, or hell, any color suit!!

I thought most of us here were parapalegic, or whatever you call it, and hooked up to life support and to the computer...you know, having the IV drip,, and the ventitlation, doing your breathing, and the keyboard to type in our posts. At least we have control of our hands, right?

Did you fear the elders more than God?
by JH indid you fear the elders more than god?.
i think that the members of the congregation were afraid of being caught by the elders if they done something wrong.
but on the other hand they felt close to god and asked forgiveness if they done something wrong.. i think that there was an exagerated fear of the elders, as if they were equal to god.. what do you think, in a way, did you fear the elders more than god?.
