I bought a 4x4 truck and a couple elders pulled me aside to let me know that it shows how week I was spiritually. They told me that how did I ever plan on pioneering in that vehicle, and how was an older sister supposed to get in the vehicle. That was the point in me buying it!!!

What's the most ridiculous thing you were ever counselled on?
by micheal inone of the cornerstones of jw's is counsel.
they just love to give counsel and many times they will literally make things up just for the sake of counsel.
i was once counselled for joking around too much.

What do you miss the most not being a witness anymore?
by JH inis there anything that you miss, since you don't belong to the jw's anymore?
friendship, family, or maybe just the feeling of belonging to some groupe that had you dreaming of a better world?

I did doughnuts in an elders yard for df-ing a friend. I used to make out with my girlfriend in the KH library during the meeting. I was a rotten JW... By the way Viv, way too cute avatar...

What's the most hypocritical thing(s) you've ever seen a JW do?
by Steve Lowry inup high on my list has to be when a jw co-worker named john fitzgerald tore into me one morning (when i was coming in late for work) for grabbing a quick piece of cake from the lunch room.
turns out, someone in this small little office had brought in the remainder of their birthday cake for folks at work to finish up eating.
john was older than i and a ministerial servant (ooh) and felt it his responsibility to keep me on the straight and narrow.

I caught two newly appointed MS's smoking cigars down here in coconut grove. They couldn't even stand up straight they were so wasted.
I worked for an elder for a while in the construction business. I was only 17 years old and we would get wasted after work. He later on counseled me for drinking with a 20 year old brother at my house.

Stupidest thing a JW ever told you
by Nosferatu inwhat is the stupidest thing a jw ever told you?
we all know that they say a lot of stupid things, but what really topped the cake?.
for me, it was an elder telling me i was progressing really well when my meeting attendance was down and my field service hours were slipping.

My dad told me - "Son I don't think you will ever drive a car" I'm 31 years old
My dad and mom - "Son masturbation will lead to homosexuality"
An elder to his son - "Skateboarding is dangerous. It shows you don't present yourself a sacrafice to jehovah" That was also his excuse for not letting his son play any sports.
My dad told me that 1986 the International Year of Peace was going to start the great Trib.
I think this is a topic everyone could go on and on about...

Have The Elders Ever Told You They Needed To Speak 2 You After The Meeting?
by minimus ini wonder how many times an elder approached you before the meeting to say, "after the meeting, we would like to talk to you about something".
you know that feeling-----remember???
the entire meeting you tried not to think about whatever it was they needed to talk to you about.

All the time!!! The best one was about 4 meetings before my last one. They asked to see me after the meeting to clear up some rumors going around about me. I told them that was fine. So halfway during the meeting I left to goto the bar to watch a thursday night football game. The one elder had my cellphone # and called me and asked me where I was. I told him I got rather ill and was in bed sick. The best part was I know he could here all the background noise of the bar. They never followed up, cause I guess they knew I didn't care.
