  I reckon it must be great for all the 20 + Something ex-JW's who visit this site!

  Think about it, if you will for a moment. When the 20 + Somethings were still JW's, they had to respect the "Older men", show respect for the "Hoary head", be subservient to the "Elders".

  Then they come here to find Farkel, Uncle Bruce, Larc, ME and a whole host of over age 50 insubordinate silver surfers, all giving their respective 2 fingers to the WTBTS. (1 finger in the US, I believe).

  And, what's more, these Old Codgers don't pull the age superiority stunt at all in demanding unearned repect from those who happen to have been born at a later date than them. Ah, ain't equality great?

  How refreshing! How very fine! What rich blessings!

  Hi E-Man:

  How refreshing! How very fine! What rich blessings!

  You forgot to add, "and all these loving provisions are from the Faithful & Discreet Slave!" - NOT!

  Amazing, of the 51+ class. Well, I still feel young ... I'm young again, I'm young again, yipeeeee!

  Hey Englishman....who's hoary headed here?

  I alway's had other thoughts when that word was used. Seems like the wt is the only one in modern history to use that archaic expression.

  A hoary head? A HO who 'rats' or teases her hair?

  A HO who wares high hair?

  A HO who is more HO'y than the next?

  A HO who gives better.............?

  Well I will stop now, since I should be acting my age. So glad I don't have to be 'elder-like' even tho I really am.

  Agreed! And I'm not even technically a twenty "something" yet!!!!

  Edited to add: When people ask me how old I am, I say "Almost 21"!

  And if a woman asks me how old I am, I say "Too old for you!"

  Here's the 2 fingers, BTW, as posted in Qwertrys thread about the Awake.

  Just remember, you young puppies. Inside every old person, is a 21 year old who wondered what happened. Also, remember, someday you will be our age, BUWAAAAAHAHA!
