I have knocked on doors, and been told to come in. Open the door to a room full of almost naked girls. It's a game they play, just to rattle people! A number of times it has happened to me. I always go right ahead and make my presentation, and offer! Twice, I have received a standing ovation! For not getting all rattled and messing up!

One naked drunk college girl ran and grabbed me and and started hugging and kissing me, and ran her hand down my pants so fast, and she wouldn't let go!

OMG what a rush!

So many great fs stories! I have had many over my 53 years in.

One morning when I was 12. I was walking down the drive way to a house. The woman was working in her flower beds. She saw me coming, and walked over and unchained her large dog, pointed at me and said, sick him. The big dog starts running towards me barking and growling, I quickly looked for some where to go, but nope. I started running at the dog barking and waving my arms like mad. The dog turned and ran behind the house. I straightenedmyself up, and walked over to the stunned woman, and may my presentation, she said, Yea I'll take it. She gave me two dollars for a tooth book, and a set of mags. I thought I was rich!

What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?

by Funchback in

there were many addressed to me.

for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.

i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.

Oh did you guys give me a good bunch of laughs!

One CO, would explain the rules of driving to whoever would be driving in service. The driver was not to even be involved in the conversations with others in the group while driving. The driver must keep both hands at the 2 and 10 position all the time while driving. No eating, drinking, looking at a cell phone, or territory card or map! About 10 minutes explaining all of this!

I have many more, but the brain is not working tonight!

What's the craziest thing someone INFORMED on you about?

by Londo111 in

the culture of jws as encouraged by the watchtower is one of informing on one another, reporting to either the elders or ones designated head.

whats the wackiest thing that someone reported on you?

im not talking about a black-and-white watchtower rule that would land you in a judicial committee, but some judgmental nonsense that someone thought they should turn you in about?.

My X monster, turned me in for being a drunk! I had drank a whole 6 pack over three week's. When i was asked into the back room, and told what she had to say, i started laughing so hard, and they are like saying, this is serious, and you need to take it that way, I laughed that much harder! When i calmed down, and told them, how I had drank a six pack over three weeks, they laughed pretty hard too!!!!!

She turned me in for all kind of nonsense!

Instructions from the Old Elder's Book

by John Aquila in

last night i was looking over the notes on my old elders book and one of the instructors told us to write this down.

"when you want to get the friends to believe and obey anything, just keep saying it over and over and over and eventually they will believe it and follow whatever they are being told.

when i went back to school, i learned this quote in one of my world history classes..

I would bet if you went to 6 different eldub schools in the same year, you would find a note here and there that weren't given everywhere else!

I remember many closing DC talks, given by so called GB members, no two DC'S heard the same things! And sometimes, nobody else heard what was said at yours!
