Hi beck,
I remember like you the enthusiasm when we were kids to get our answers out, and they would always pick the elders kids or the "spiritually strong parents kids", but what used to really irritate me was how a new bible study would come into the hall and instead of using the publishers and i considered myself a spiritually strong publisher at that time(married to an elder), they would always give them to the pioneers, the poor pioneers, who had to foot slog their hours, what made them better than the publishers, after all wasnt the prize the same for pioneers and publishers, the joy of knowing you were pleasing jehovah. Plllllllease.

Competing In the name of Jehovah!
by Beck_Melbourne ininspired while posting on another thread, i was wondering, have you ever competed with other jws to get recognition or favour??
i can remember as a kid, being in a book study group with other kids, and when it came time to give an answer that kids could cope with...all kiddie sized hands would fly up and we'd all look at each other in the hope that it was our hand that got chosen.
i remember some kids would burst into tears if they didn't get chosen...and others would scowl or quickly go about looking for the next answer.

Hi mak, i use morpheus and other file sharing and you have to search for that stuff to download, but saying that i have downloaded something i thought was fine only to find it is not what i really wanted shall we say, and also be careful as i got a virus from morpheus so i scan everything before i open it.

by Quotes inthe following is the contents of a hand-written letter i just received from my (21 year old) sister, who is getting married may 18. for some reason, i thought that she would let love and compassion be stronger than wt programming.
but i was wrong.

Hi quotes,
I know exactly howw you feel, when i was a dub my sister who drifted away from the truth ended up living with a guy and was going to get married, we were invited of course and up to that point it was classed a concience matter if we went, but then the elders decided to go one step further and have her disfellowshipped and TOLD me that i couldnt go to the wedding now, as my husband was an elder it wasnt like i could argue the point,i missed the wedding and feel awful that i didnt go, when i saw the photos i just cried, so now i am d/f and i can talk to her but it still doesnt make up for not being there. -

Hi LB, i was once told the best thing to have when you feel like that is tea, black, with fresh ginger and cayenne pepper in it, i gave it to my ex when was sick and it worked a treat, tasted yuck but it worked.

GOOD GOD!
by SYN inhehe, all my best threads usually have all-caps in the titles.
this one's a doozy!.
i went out to this nightclub near my work last night (saturday night), and i was having a good old time, when i decided to sit down on a big, flat futon couch near the entrance to one of the dancefloors for a while (it's an outdoors club!).

Hi syn,
Dont mean to rain on your parade here but what worries me about this is the fact that they both were there at the same club, forgive me if im wrong here, but maybe she was trying to make her ex jealous or teach him a lesson, and then there is always maybe she is looking for a replacement father for the baby, or maybe, just maybe your are too gorgeous and she just couldnt control herself. And i agree with butlebee you havnt kissed us yet so you dont know who the best kisser is, lol. -

Hi violet,
there you got your flames next to your thread, and i think i would rather be dammed to an eternal hell than sing for salvation, coz if i sang you would all wish you were going to hell to get away from my singing, lol. -

The kingdom hall i went to had many windows, and the curtains would only close if it was rather hot, and believe me did i spend many hours just looking out the windows during the meetings, which was really good when the late comers came coz you could see them :-), im sure thats why we had windows to see the late comers so the elders would know who they needed to speak to about respect for the food jehovah provides.
