You asked me how long I've been in the "org"? I got off the boat with Noah.

Oh, larc, do we have to tell you EVERYTHING? A dumbdub is a dumb JW....affectionately referred to as "dubbies".

So.....you were with Noah, eh? I guess we can blame the whole lack of Armageddon scenario on you then, right? I mean, you were part of the generation that was around in 1914.....and if you've lived this long, who knows how much longer this thing could go on. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT that my cat won't eat hay!!!

TR

...you refuse to eat pepperoni pizza in a Canadian restaraunt.

...you make believe multi-day religious gatherings are vacations.

...you think "truth" changes on a regular basis.

Getting back to Noah

Some time after we got off the Arch, I told my brother not to make fun of dad because he was drunk and naked. Only the family would know since the neighbors were gone. The animals had pretty much dispersed so they didn't care. The kanagroos were already hopping their way to Australia.

Redhorsewoman..do you have a nickname? that's a long handle to type in each time.

Sorry, about the 1914 thing. Back in the 1870's I had a long talk with Charles Taze (Russell that is). I said "Charles you're a busy businessman here in Pittsburg, do you relly want to go beyond a home Bible study and start a new religion? It's a huge undertaking and could lead to a lot of stress at home, divorce could result." He listened, but went ahead anyway. In 1879, I asked him if he thought the end of the world would occur in exactly 35 years. He was pretty confident. He showed me the math and it looked pretty scientific.

Well, time passed, as you know it will, 1914 was a pretty bad year but not as bad as we thought it would be. In the 1920's I had a chat with the Judge (Rutherford, that is). I asked if he was sure that 1935 was the year. He was even more convincing than Charles had been, Joe beein' the lawyerin' type and all. Well, after 1935, I retired from the advice giving business, and got into the joke telling business, both practical and impractical.

Just for you, larc....you may call me RHW, or SWITGGOPME (which stands for She Who Is The Great Goddess of Pretty Much Everything), or Hey You.....they all work.

You might be a JW if:

you think life insurance is a form of gambling

you don't put money into an IRA or 401k, because the end will come before you reach retirement age

memories: years ago I told three of my witness buddies that I was going to college. They all agreed that the end would come before I graduated. I bet them 5 dollars that it wouldn't. If it did come they wouldn't need the money. I had a no loose bet. Well, I went and got a couple degrees just to give them more time to win. By the way, all three of them are grandparents today.

Hey larc,

Redhorsewoman..do you have a nickname? that's a long handle to type in each time.

Screamin' Red Demon.

I gave this one to her in appreciation for her tireless work of helping men. Want some help, larc?

You have a fascinating background - thanks for sharing with us. I thoroughly enjoy when people say a little (or a lot) about themselves or history.

Cool family you got there. I never doubted you for a minute. A second, perhaps. The names seem to rhymn so well, don't you think?

[i]You might be a jw if you think winning the McDonald cup prize is a form of gambling.

You might be a jw if you think "Oh, Gosh" is cursing. Let alone the terrible "Gosh Darn" or "Gol Durn It" or "Golly Gee."

Hey tr,

...you refuse to eat pepperoni pizza in a Canadian restaraunt.

Well, aren't you going to explain that one to the rest of the jw world? Canadian oddity?
