It's just that I had a JW roomate for a semester, and he was always telling me about stuff.

I really like the idea of you laying in bed, asleep, and your roomate walks over, nudges you awake and goes, "Hey, did you know that Jehovah's Witnesses don't use the cross in worship? WELL WE DON'T!"

Hate to be nitpicky, well, no I don't, but Jehovah's Witnesses don't even use the cross in worship.

I didn't say they did.  I was just saying that this, to me, seems like if JW's were to walk past your window every few days holding leaflets up.

Fair enough.  I wasn't trying to correct, it's just that it's been on my mind lately, because I've been wondering what happened to my roomate.

That is basically how it was.  The kid was fuck*ng nuts.  I'm not saying that because I don't like the religion, he just had serious problems, along with another roomate.  Constant suicide threats and one or two attempts.  It was actually really sad and scary.  Nice kid though, and still wonder what happened to him.

Once, we had a party for a roomate's birthday, and Mark disappeared silently into his bedroom.  I went to find out what was wrong because the roomate who threw it was offended (he was also nuts) and Mark said he didn't feel right being out there while we were celebrating a birthday.  So I offered to bring him a piece of cake or a drink or something, and, after thinking it over for a few moments, he cautiously accepted the offer.

There's now a "worst roomate" stories thing up in Wild Card, because I'm curious, dammit.

I had a JW friend in high school, she always seemed a little disapointed that she wasn't allowed to come to birthday parties, and stuff.  And the really sad thing was that she was all psyched to go to grad, and even bought a pretty nice dress, but then on the day of grad, she just didn't show up, and I never saw her again.

Sorry. Didn't mean to sound like a dick. I hadn't sleapt in about 36 hours... Ugh.
And it has to be said, I didn't know that fact. I knew two JWs when I was in high school, who got on our bus, but they were both just really quiet. One of them did come round to our house once, but got the idea...
