I find it's always interesting to listen in on never-been-JW's when they are discussing the "Je-ho's". Enjoy :
Glory Be! I'm Invited to "Follow The Christ!"

oops, sorry folks. I can access the thread directly, but not when I link to it from JWD.
The actual URL is: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=6675219&mesg_id=6675219
I think it may be archived by now so that only members can see it? Not really sure why it's not working.
Sorry to lead you on; it is pretty funny stuff.

Original messageWell glory be! My summer is redeemed! I'm invited to "Follow the Christ!" The Je-ho's must've stopped by, because I just found a flier in my door "cordially invit(ing)" me to the district convention of Jehovah's Witnesses, featuring advice on how I might oppose the devil and gain everlasting life. It also features a "full-costume bible drama."
Now the only question that remains to be pondered is whether I should dress up as a naughty shepherdess, or as a giant, walking copy of the Watchtower... "I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later."- Mitch Hedberg http://momsmellslikevodka.blogspot.comPrinter Friendly | Permalink | | Top -

6 o' 9.
some nice humor in the thread titles. I did not get my invitation to "follow the christ" this year. So at least no one can say I declined.
Last year a 13/14 year old blonde boy caught me on a ladder painting. "Don't stop painting!" he commanded with a self-assurance way beyond his years(probably an elder's boy). "I'll just put this invitation under the floor mat." After he left I peaked at the invitation. I had to google the location, a convention center in Katy, TX, west of Houston just 350 miles from my home. No meeting times were given, just dates. What if I had driven to Katy? Would I have found a motel room within 50 miles? Were there any seats saved for handbill respondees at the convention center? Would I have been given a visitor's packet with a printout of the Kingdom Songs, JW codewords, and proper assembly decorum? Did the Watchtower really expect anyone to respond to such a vague invitation from a pre-pubescent lad? Are any of these campaigns a modern-day fulfillment of the seven trumpet blasts mentioned in Revelation? or the seven bowls? or seven lamp stands? or a partridge in a pear tree?

Worked for me six, I liked this one:
I was impressed with how clean-cut Jesus looks these days -- nice, trimmed beard, hair cut just about the collar line -- he could be a male model for a Sears catalog circa 1973!
My Jesus hook-up will be at The Cow Palace in Daly City. Guess the venue takes him back to his manger "roots"."Jesus hook up" lol

LOL.
Allthese comments on that board crack me up. Here's some great ones:
Q: "What's the deal with 'THE Christ' and just Christ?"
A: "I don't know, but it's reminiscent of the whole "follow the bouncing ball" thing."
Jump in a cab and yell "Follow that Christ!"
Apparently we will bear witness to "precious gems from the sermon on the mount."
I really would go, it's just that I have pressing obligations at home, such as sitting on my couch, going to the bathroom, and using the new crayons before the kids mush up all the tips.
"Full-costume Bible dramas" are probably responsible for more people straying from the faith than anything else.
Especially the ones who dress as sheep.
