(Substitute) x (Talk) = Stress²
by I don't know about you people..but..I've ALWAYS had a very very hard time being willing when it comes to doing subs...Like..I know we're supposed to jump at the opportunity to help out in God's house..but..The lack of prep time is soooo annoying, this is like one of the very few things that truely stresses me out - and, what'a ya know..I just happen to be the school overseer's son..so, I get "first dibs" on everything..."sigh"....Why meeeeeee!!!!!!....I guess I better get goin on this talk..."Why Marriage Is An Everlasting Bond"...My dad thinks that by some divine intervention I got assigned this talk because, supposedly, there's this girl he thinks I like and if you like somebody, it MUST mean you're fixing on marrying them, RIGHT?!(I can't stand parental views sometimes)...funny...i'm not even slightly attracted to this girl in question..anyway, yeah, gota get goin, the talk awaits..

dude...i seriously hear that. all the time, gettin talks that shouldn't be assigned. anyway, haha, use the phrase "the watchtower says" or "the faithful and discreet slave counsels us" so this way it's not so weird, a twenty one year old single person commenting on marriage...hope that helps
hah someone we know that is young gave this talk in my cong too. and the school overseer said "now you're an expert on sucessfull marriage huh. don't rush into it, son"
in ours too, a 14 year old kid gave it. he did an excellent job too
alex is a true playa for real...i remember one night at a party, he told me he got 3 chick's numbers. i was impressed.
i'm glad those days are over.
i use to be a school assistant. so if there was a no show..
i'd do the talk.
one month, i did 4 talks. thats one everyweek. last minute.
well on the 4th week i had no idea what to talk about.
i did a horrible job. the 5 minute talk turned out to be about 2.5 minutes.
never done a substitute since.
haha o bryan... u always make me giggle
HEY! WAIT A MINUTE! am I the girl in question?! if so, you darn right better be attracted to me! haha
nice use of the HTML code for bolding
thanks ;)
no, lol, you're not the girl i'm talking about at all..they got over you a couple years ago..they still think we'll make babies if we ride alone in cars though..but..they think that of all girls..."sigh"..silliness

hey i ended up being a sub for this talk too!!!! but i was just a sub householder so it wasn't that bad.
