Once inactive, do u need to meet with elders to go out in service again?
by Iwonder17 inso i haven't been turing in my fake field service hours for 3 months now.
i think that it is 6 months and then you are counted as inactive.. my question is, once i am inactive, would i need to meet with the elders again to be "active" if i decided to turn in time again, or do i just start going out in service again?.
although i am fading, i want to keep my options open to make things easier down the road.

Elders and texting
by Iwonder17 innot sure if this was caught on in your cong or not, but now our service overseers text everyone in their group for their field service time.. now i understand that texting and email are good tools, i use them everyday.
but how impersonal can you be.
espicially when it comes to "life saving work".

The best prank to pull off at a Kindum Hell
by Iwonder17 inso i'm sitting there tonight cuz my wife makes me go ( for now ) and i had a great idea.
you know how some times they have those boring slide shows ?
wouldn't it be incredible to get some glow in the dark paint and write on the walls some funny messages so that once they turn the lights out, everyone would see the messages.. i'm 10000% sure they would cancel the slide show and go right into the wt study.

JW's and not having real friends
by Iwonder17 ini have been a jw my whole life and am just realizing now that i have no friends.
the 1 or 2 good friends that i had as a child have since moved away and now i am stuck trying to make friends with people in the hall that i am in that don't want anything to do with me cuz i'm not a ms, elder or pioneer.. it's weird, because i look at facebook or other sites where people talk about their day or what they have been doing and it seems like people "in the world" have a lot of friends and have a good/happy life.. i think that the jw's are so busy with all of the wtbs stuff that they don't have the energy to take time to be friends with others.. i am sad...cuz i don't see a way to get any realy friends as too much of my family is in the "truth" and i'm stuck in it .

An experiment in prayer
by Iwonder17 inso i was just reading another post about prayer and i wanted to see what everyone thought about this.. i am a parent and as most parents i would do anything for my kids.
whenever studying the jw books and it would talk about jehovah, i could always liken it to me and how i would treat my kids ( or at least try to treat them ) a few years ago when i really started to have doubts i asked jehovah to give me a sign that i am on the right course and if so then i would stick to it for life and never question it again.
here is what i did.. the scripture in judges 6:36-40 about gideon asking god to make the fleece wet and the ground dry and then the following night he asked for the ground to be wet and the fleece dry.. well i figured that god would want me to know the answer to my prayer.
