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.

Prayers in Restaurants....
by caspian inon bank holiday monday just gone, a dear kind older couple in the cong decided to take me and my good lady out for a slap up meal, to try to cheer us up after the recent upheaval in our life.
somehow i ended up with the bill.. anyway, this was the local italian trattoria were we often go, and are on first names terms with the staff and quite a few of the other regulars.
big mistake!!.

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.

the cleaning lady
by kilroy2 inthis is a funny story the i have to go back and do some history so that you can understand where i am coming from.
dan babcock of wolverine michigan was raised a jw.
he stopped going to meetings in his early teens.. dan could never give up being a jw but at the same time he did not like all the rules that intruded into his personal life.. he would go to meetings when he got into trouble to smooth over everything with the borg.. at one point he stopped going all together and started to have his own personal meetings at his house and would conduct his own studys and talks.. dan died a couple of years ago.

questions.
by kilroy2 inhas anyone ever sat down and made a series of questions that we can print and hand out to the people we know,.
so that when the dubbers come to the door they can ask the right questions to make the little buggers scurry for cover.. i have made a couple and it does work.
but if we could all put our minds togeather we could make a very concise to the point question sheet that is easy for non former cult members to understand and use.

Alcohol and the Witness
by Maverick inwhen i first was studying with the duds, one of the things i found interesting is that duds are ok with drinking alcohol, "in moderation".
i never was a big drinker, usually one drink if i'm out and will have to drive and no more than three in any 24 hour period, even if i'm staying home.. i wonder if the fact the "the judge" was a rumpot contributed to the soft attitude on alcohol?
most of the brothers i knew were big drinkers and many of the older elders drank more with dinner that i drink in a weekend.
