What Was The Silliest "Offense" That You Were Counseled For?
by minimus inwhen i was a teenager, i was told by an elder that because i smiled a lot and was known for my good sense of humor, that i should come across as "more serious".
so before i was appointed a ms, while in my late teens, i transformed myself into a much more "serious" brother.. were you ever told that you needed to work on something that you knew was stoopid?.

Witness girls Party hard in Rome
by Ticker inhttp://images.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://www.simonconnell.com/2000/rome/rome09.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.simonconnell.com/2000/rome/rome_photos.htm&h=279&w=431&sz=20&tbnid=svkl3lgmv4hhgm:&tbnh=79&tbnw=123&hl=en&start=5&prev=/images%3fq%3djehovahs%2bwitnesses%26svnum%3d10%26hl%3den%26lr%3d%26safe%3doff
just came across this guys trip blog through a google image search on jw's.
anyways i found it interesting that toword the very last of his pictures of his trip to rome he has a few of him partying it up with some jehovah's witnesses and being shocked at how different they were from the ones at the door.. i found it funny as i remember being a witness kid and partying, how it felt like such a relief to cut loose, get away from the jw talk, just have fun with friends, and then go to a sunday meeting with a hangover.

What will you do to celebrate Oct 2 2014?
by jwfacts inlike most people reading this, i was convinced that by 2014 the new system would 'definitely' have been operating for at least a decade.
now that i know this is not going to be the case i am going to have to think of some way to recognise 100 years of wts let downs and failed predictions.
there is no point fretting over the past so i think it will be a good time to celebrate.

Aussies/Canadians of JWD most laid back~
by FlyingHighNow ini was thinking today, i've been here at jwd for nearly three years now.
i've observed that our aussie members are the most laid back members on the board here.they don't take their country, their politics or anything too seriously really.
people who are from europe tend to be more laid back than the brits and americans.
