For the first time in my life, I started handing out candy to trick or treaters. I must say, it was actually rather fun, I especially liked seeing all the neat costumes kids came up with. I saw one who couldn't have been older than five, dressed as the grim reaper.

Hey Enishi!
Hubby's favorite movie! He says the trilogy ('Night of...' 'Dawn of...' and 'Day of...') is unsurpassed.
I've never seen it myself. I prefer Things and Aliens busting out of ppl's guts, personally.
I heard that they're doing a remake for Dawn of the Dead.
Speaking of zombie movies, I once saw Return of the Living Dead. The very next day, I made the horrible mistake of talking about it to the witnesses in my car group. Boy, did I ever get flayed!

The Ring is one of the scariest movies I've seen in a very long time. It gets under your skin on a psychological level.
The movie that scared me the most though was without a doubt Night of the Living Dead, the old one. I saw it when I was only 7 years old, and God did it ever scare me! I used to have nightmares about that movie for months. The boy I saw it with did a splended job of running in the fear too, he kept telling me all these stories about a man who was buried alive in his basement. Just the concept alone was enough to terrify me. Being slowly eaten alive by zombies would have to be one of the most grisly ways to die imaginable.
Of course, now I think its silly.

I believe that the scripture about being washed clean in the blood of a lamb has a much more esoteric definition than most people think. It's a symbol of inner purification, and shows that suffering, however horrible it might be, is a part of being alive and we couldn't truelly grow without it.

I was only after I started praying more and doing more research that I began to see the WTS for what it was. I drew closer to God, but farther away from the WTS.

Interesting, I had always thought that maybe the ole serpent wasn't such a bad guy.
I've noticed that some of the stories in the Bible, if interpreted in a spiritual way and not a literal way, at times seem to be saying the exact opposite of what they appear to be.

Thanks for these critiques Blondie, I can't imagine studying through all that drudgery myself.
Until I started reading these posts, I never realized just how many subtle messages and double-speak the WTS puts into their study articles. It's very eye-opening. At first when I read this article on prayer I had thought it was actually rather decent, until I took a closer look and read inbetween the lines.

Paradise Erf - What did you NOT look forward to?
by Nosferatu inremember when you were in the troof, and had the thoughts of paradise erf continually being pounded into your head?
you'd be able to pet lions, eat fruit, and smile, but there were things that were going to be destroyed at armageddon.
what were you going to miss in the old world?

Alot of brothers I knew hoped that they would be able to travel to other planets. It seems to me that many of them were hoping the new system would be some sort of Star Trek type world.
There were many concepts I had about the paradise that were appealing, I was looking forward to be able to live forever and explore all the amazing possibilities of the imagination that eternity would offer. However, now that I believe in reincarnation, the prospect of eternal physical life isnt quite as enticing. Still, I don't think there's anything wrong in hoping for a better world.

What scams did you use for counting your time?
by Ivor Hope in.
flowerpetals post and thread reminded me of some of the scams we would use to try to show the maximum numbers of hours spent in "service" for the smallest amount of effort.
here's some of the ones i remember...just wondered if any of you had any other memories.. .

For a while I did actually enjoy field service, probably because I didn't beat myself over the head for not getting a certain number of hours in.
I did however, cheat a little by starting my time at the very moment I arrived for the service meeting.
You know, with regards to driving 45 minutes to reach the territory, I used to notice that even many elders in my congregation would do this. . .
