I will say in my pre-teen years my best friends lived next door and they lived with thier grandparents who were Jehovah Witnesses, and on Saturdays they had to go door to door and pass-out the Watchtower and Awake before they could do anything else, so I would go with them and dump all the magazines in the gutter so we could go to the park or beach...
How about you?

It is shocking to see that some seem to endorse stealing, vandalism, littering, and lying for that is what this so-called "question" openly admits was "wrong".
Jehovah's Witnesses do not simply "pass out" their literature as thought this were the main purpose of their ministry. While there is no charge for The Watchtower or Awake! magazines, Witness ministers distribute them to persons who are interested in reading them.

Too much to tell. Isn't it good that God is so forgiving?
I don't know that putting those magazines in the gutter was wrong. You probably saved some poor unsuspecting soul from a bunch of lies...and and thats a good thing.

I wouldn't beat myself up for that. I mean, you were just a kid looking for fun. You didn’t cause any real harm, trust me.
I once kissed man when I was in a committed relationship with another. That made me feel SOOOO guilty. I still do to this day, even though I'm not with either of them any more. But I don't believe in a god.

Never did anything like that. You're evil and going to Hell. Just kidding (don't report me). I was supposed to take a class in something (too old to remember what it was anymore) at church, and I ditched and went to the video game parlor.

That is good you dumped them in the gutter! Good for you! Those tracts are leading people straight to hell.
It is false doctrine. So please do not think you were not serving the Lord. Of course the "selfish" part of it was wrong, but I think in the end you did the right thing!

This one time, I did two chicks at the same time…they were sisters.
I know God's all about mahogany, so that was probably not very appealing to him, but I thought it was awesome!

I'd rather go to the beach than be a party to false doctrine. Good for you!

We sin daily. I can't help it, i'm human. I guess the biggest thing for me would be taking things that do not belong to me.

How is that wrong? Sure, it's annoying to the people you're trying to sell to, but I don't see how that's "wrong in serving the lord".
