  if there's one thing we can look back on and laugh and tell our kids it's the fact that knocking on strangers doors at inopportune times results in some funny or embarrassing experiences.

  i'd be interested in hearing some of yours.

  here's some of mine to get the ball rolling:.

  My Name is of No Consequence

  When I was a teenager, I was working with a group of brothers. In order to cover the territory quicker, we went to the doors by individually. I walked up to this one door, rang the bell and this very attractive woman wearing just a bathrobe and a smile answers the door. I go through my presentation and still smiling, takes the magazines and thanks me. That just made my day.

  Did I mention that I was a teenager?

  @ pale.emperor:

  Did you record this conversation, or was it recounted from memory?

  Another family needlessly torn apart

  by Visitor1984 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm feeling very angry tonight as i watched my mother in law end her relationship with my husband, her son, tonight.

  we were happily inactive, enjoying a distant but decent relationship with my in laws until they saw some christmas decorations and everything changed.

  i spent two hours getting drilled on whether my husband and i celebrate holidays, to be told that my laws won't socialize with us anymore.

  2 sisters called today

  by stan livedeath in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ive lived here 7 months now--and today was the 4th time some dubs have called--while i was at home.. they were probably about 60-70.. after i let one do her simple leaflet presentation--i told them i used to be a jw--but left over 40 years ago.

  and that i held the watchtower responsible for the break up of my family: and discussed shunning.. but the main thing i wanted to discuss--was the sale of their kingdom hall.

  they confirmed a sale was going through.

  @ stan livedeath:

  Just the fact that they stayed for about 30 minutes should be a reason for hope.

  Looking forward to going to Memorial this year!

  i have some tricks to play.

  i know it may sound childish but i feel that creating havoc and forcing the memorial to be postponed will be the highlight of the night!

  wish me luck!.

  Trump. Why all the banter?

  by punkofnice in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  there is a lot of talk about the usa's new president, mr trump.

  he seems to be like what they say about marmite, people either love him or hate him.

  is there any middle ground?.

  If the people of North Korea despise him so much, they would rise up and overthrow him.

  What is the basis for advising “Don’t pursue higher studies”?

  by venus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  two elders who visited my friend last week encouraged her not to pursue higher studies.

  it seems they are dishing out the same old stuff: “the end is imminent, and this is the time to do more in the service; hence don’t waste your resources on higher studies.”.

  i wonder whether there was some official communiqué (something that is sent out recently like letter to the elders, or kingdom ministry article …).

  This might have something to do with it. It is one of my older threads:

  The Vietnam War and “Higher Education”

  Ummm....

  Doesn't the UK still have a monarchy? I think that Trump is a d-bag, but I find it interesting that people from other countries have such strong opinions about a leader that is not sovereign over them.
