what is the most memorable funny or inadvertant mistake or silly outfit that you have ever seen on the platform at the kingdom hall.
reach way back into your memory banks and try and come up with your best.
i will start the ball rolling with a funny happening.
When I was very young (6 years old), my parents had me up there for some demonstration. I think we were doing some 'ideal family bible study' or something.
Well, you know, for a 6 year old kid, 9:00 pm is pretty late. I was tired! So, I put my chin on my hands and fell asleep on the platform!
Now that I think of it--that was probably the most accurate rendition of a family bible study anyone ever gave...
Q.
this is a local news item.
i doubt the link will last more than a day.
it appears the man had no connection to the jw's previously, he just considered them an "easy mark".

How come nothing like that ever happend when I was a witness? Man, I went to THOUSANDS of meetings and would have been THRILLED for a little action!
I laughed hard reading this, but I also think that guy was a big weenie. $15.00 is not a lot, but if it is that hard, be a man! Get a second job!

for more than 50 years this has been going on with full american support.
Awful. This conflict is ridiculous. Religion sux.
Religion is a red herring, my friend. This is all. about. power.
(We have LOTS of Jewish and Muslim people in our community who work together on projects peacefully.)

did you always know you wanted children?.
if so how did you feel after.. if you do not want children, why?.
i am not sure if i want children and i am interested in all your opinions.
Good luck sunshine...I know miscarriages are VERY common, so I am confident you'll have no problems the next time around...
Q.
from p19 of the june 15, 2003 'tower: .
not sure about what they're saying here - it's not like this "opposition" (presumably the unamused expression on the householder's face) can't be placed at these ladies' own feet - after all, they are the ones who are ganging up, two to one, on a householder's own doorstep at a time obviously inconvenient to her to give her a message she's obviously not receptive to.
are the dubs really getting that sensitive in their old age?
When you make an ass of yourself and people get ticked off at you for it, that's not persecution. It's just normal cause and effect
*snort*
Well said!

Well, I went back and forth...I wasn't ever that crazy about kids--but I always liked the 'idea' of it.
It wasn't until I met my husband that I realized that this person WAS the father of my future children. In fact, the night after our first date, I had a dream that we were married and in the dream I was hugely pregnant and we were both just standing there, our hands on my belly, smiling at one another.
3 1/2 years later, voila! A set of twins!
BUT, we did it right. I wanted to stay home, so I waited until we were in a financial position for me to quit my job. Plus, I'm almost 30--so I got all my partying out of my system. Now, I can be home with my babies, and hell--its only 5-6 years until they'll be off at school all day. A short amount of time, but worth it in the long run...
