Sassy,
funny u should mention that story, b/c at a cong picnic, a very nice bro called me "legs" b/c i was wearing shorts. They were short, but not obscene. Should have seen the looks and heard the gasps.

I got a "shepherding call" because I was reading Analog magazine (Science Fiction/Science Fact)!!!
As I recall, this was a separate visit from the one where I got reamed for going to night school @ the local Junior College. I compared notes on that one with another brother. His JW BOSS had told him to get some training for his job; so the poor "bro" took an accounting class. We got our visits the same week. Neither one of us were missing meetings (yet).
They went to the trouble of coming to my house for those visits.

Mustang,
that is the most pathetic thing i have ever heard. A class in accountingn and some junior college. Dear Gawd, willl u be teaching people evolution next? Perhaps engaging in a philosophical debate? Is there no end to the evils of junior college and a class in accounting?
the phrase "get a life" comes to mind for those elders.

I got counciled because some dumb a-hole said that i was driving too fast through the parking lot. The guy that said that about me was a notorious lead foot. He thought that everywhere he went he was in a NASCAR race. They also couciled me because i was planning on going out to buy a few drinks at applebee's when i was turning 21.

My grandfather saw to it that I had one of the first Porsche 911 Targas in Oklahoma City. It was in 1969 and it was day-glo orange. Got straightened out by the CO for having a selfish car. Used the same excuse as for attending college - had to respect my nonwitness elders because the bible says so...still drive a 911.

Now What?
Wearing Mickey Mouse socks with matching Mickey Mouse cufflinks during a public talk.
