    am just remembering the awful headache that came with having to put say " how do we know that mary was a virgin?" subject matter , into a "first call" setting with a " work on gestures" ... all together into a script that would kinda make sense!! All in 5 mins with at least 2 scriptures used, both of which normaly seemed to have nothing to do with the subject matter!

    oh how i hated it! do you remember having to paste or pin the notes into the different portions of your bible? because they weren't meant to be visable?!! Sitting up there on the platform, with everyone staring at you! awfull experiance! and i don;t actualy mind public speaking...

    sorry just a late night rant... but i'm sure i'm not the only one?

    LOL! Oh yeah. Most of them always end with the householder being convinced to have a study. I especially love how the congregation frown at you when you end the talk with the householder not accepting your literature. LMAO

    ugh i hated doing talks...I reemmber the sister talks and though that i was luck y that i didnt have to correlate it with another person.

    My grandfather use to write mine for me, then I just started using his outlines and just plugged info into his format. As if I didnt have enough to do already with school and homework. You know the things that were going to make it possible for me to get a ral job and provide for my own family one day.

    I will tell you what I did like...doing the microphones during the meetings...gave me soemthing to do and kept me from sleeping the whole time and my mother pinching me all damn night under my arm.

    i forgot that we got graded for how often we used gestures and stuff...wow.
