    Not Feeling It

    Maybe you still get some "encouraging" email forwards with cute stories and anecdotes. This one I saw REALLY hit a nerve with me. I can't believe (OK, I really can) that some people will read this and say to themselves, "That sure is great. I think so-and-so needs to read that."

    Really judgemental psychosis here. It sure is easy to get bumped off this list. I'm sure quite a few, myself included, got left behind after #1. Enjoy!

    10 Little Witnesses10 little witnesses standing in line,
    1 disliked the elders, and then there were 9
    9 little witnesses stayed up very late,
    1 overslept on Sunday, then there were 8
    8 little witnesses pleasing God in Heaven,
    1 took the low road and then there were 7
    7 little witnesses chirping like chicks,
    1 liked Rap music, then there were 6
    6 little witnesses seemed very much alive,
    but one lost his interest then there were 5
    5 little witnesses going from door to door,
    1 stopped to rest and then there were 4
    4 little witnesses each busy as a bee,
    1 got his feelings hurt and then there 3
    3 little witnesses knew not what to do,
    1 joined the worldly scene, then there were 2
    2 little witnesses our rhyme is nearly done,
    differed with the other, and then there was 1
    1 little witness can't do much 'Tis TRUE,
    started a bible study - then there was 2
    2 EARNEST witnesses, each won one more,
    That doubled the number , then there were 4
    4 SINCERE witnesses worked early and late,
    Each won another and then there were 8
    8 SPLENDID witnesses if they doubled as before,
    In just so many Sundays, we'd have 1,024

    In this little jingle, there is a lesson true, You
    belong either to the BUILDING or to the WRECKING Crew!!!

    That story sucks. At the end of it I am happy to be part of the wrecking crew. Thank you very much.

    inane, pedantic and pointless spew

    lapped up greedily by the few

    who would rather obtain a lobotomy

    than consider a life amongst the free.....

    lest i gouge out my other eye with a spoon

    One found out what they really said about 1914, now there are 9

    One found out what they said about the generation, now there are 8

    One found out about the UN, now there are 7

    One found out what they were doing in Mexico while people were dieing in Malawi, now there are 6

    One found that the Sodomites were going to be resurrected (or not)
    (oh that makes two), now there are 4

    One found out that “Jehovah” isn’t in the New Testament, now there are 3

    One found out what they really said about 1975, now there are 2

    One’s friend was disfellowshipped for asking a perfectly legitimate question, now there’s 1

    The last one figured that there must be a reason everybody else left

    In their defense, it at least addresses the high turnover rate the JW experience - something most WItnesses aren't even aware of.

    This probably is used by all the churches that lack a creative imagination - just substitute Baptists, Adventists, etc. for Witnesses.

    How well I remember that District Overseer Dennis Raftopolis used to plagerize stuff like this from the churches mercilessly and present at the assemblies like it was his own!

    Ugh. I don't miss this drivel.

    Liking rap music, one time oversleeping, taking a rest, they'll kill ya off for anything. It didn't make sence to me that God loves us so much yet, he is so damn petty. Then I realized that by "god" they meant "Watchtower".
