    Oh, yeah, I've heard the 'psychic' ones, too. A witness girl goes out after school with a bunch of her wordly classmates and they go to a psychic. She reads all their fortunes, but when she gets to the witness girl, can't.

    The psychic finds out that trying to do whatever spiritistic thing she was doing to the witness girl made her lose her contact to the demon realm, so blahblahblah.....something horrible happens to the witness girl to demonstrate that bad association, blahblahblah....

    And, who hasn't heard about the smurfs that get up and walk out of a bookstudy?

    Or the apostate book (name never mentioned) that won't burn? Or, when you try and burn it, if you walk away from the fire, it will re-appear where it was before, totally unscathed?

    Actually, now that you mention it, this *MIGHT* be a funny topic to run with...

    Anybody else got stories?

    sounds like an urban legend (you know, the stories the friend-of-a-friend, told your cousins Aunts sister on your fathers cousins side, and they swear it's true).

    I've noticed many urban legends retro fitted to fit the JDub-speak, or mentality

    There has to be literally hundreds more of these stories from around the globe!!! How about our international folks? Any stories from overseas in Europe, Australia, any of the islands, etc.? It'd be fun to see how many of them "match up" with those we heard our entire lives in the US!

    I just pulled out a printed copy of an essay called "Waiting for Armageddon" that I pulled off of freeminds.org quite a while ago. It is an extremely funny story about what J-dubs are doing while waiting for the main event. It says the author is someone by the name of [email protected]. Hats off to this person! Everyone that hasn't seen this yet should try to find it on the freeminds site... it will be worth the effort!!!!! (Not EXACTLY about urband-legend type stuff... but close enough!)

    Does anyone remember the Ottawa Assembly?it must have been in the 70,
    We were all standing singing = "Our is the God Of True prophecy-what he foretells comes to be" A terrible tornado came up- it was pouring & very dark- But we all stayed & got drenched.
    The next day the Brothers told us - It was supposed to Funnell right over us-( the newsmen had said)but Jehovah had held it back- We all had tremendous applause....
