200 JWs Go Bowling on Christmas (page 2)

Ding

Hidden mike at GB meeting:

"I just read an article that said 200 of Jehovah's Witnesses are going bowling on December 25."

"What? Why aren't they out in field service?"

"I don't know, but if we allow this, who knows what worldly activities the brothers will indulge in next!"

"We'd better ban bowling right away."

"On what basis? I haven't been able to find any pagan connection."

"Let's think. In bowling, you try to knock down as many of 10 pins as possible. Ten is a Bible number. What can we make of that?"

"Ten Commandments."

"That's it! Bowling is satanic symbolism for breaking as many of the Ten Commandments as possible!"

"Send this to the Writing Department immediately."

"How grateful Jehovah's Witnesses should be for the constant protective shepherding of the faithful and discreet slave organization!"

Think About It

I wish just once when a JW claims that they give presents all year round that someone would follow-up with the questions: What was the last present you gave and when was it? Also, what was the last present you received and when was it?

Great thought and follow up question. The JW would probably answer the day before or after Christmas.

They give the gift of everlasting life by coming to your door.

Any reason why they should not get together? Does the WT say that the day has to be miserable?

Around here you would not find a place open on Christmas Day, or any buses or trains to get you there,

"I don't think that they ever felt left out,"

Well think again! I know I did..I felt indifferent and Sheltered...As a result tried my darnest to fit in! A beat down, worthless product of my environment!

A lot of Witnesses in my area hang out at the nearest ski resort. I never went skiing,but would go to hang out with friends and see who I could see.

It wasn't much longer when the elders got a bug up their butt about it,saying we shouldn't go skiing on Christmas. The reason was there were a lot of Witnesses meeting up and it was considered having a large gathering.

How can they control where you go on Christmas. What if I went to the movies and too many Witnesses showed up,would that be considered having an unsupervised large gathering.

Well, I'm happy to say,the next generation of young people,or should I say "overlapping generation" of young people still show up to go skiing.

But,it seems when I was younger,they went out of their way to kill our fun and destroy any chance of me meeting a normal single brother. lol.

The Witnesses in this area have met at the local ski resort for YEARS on Christmas Day . We took our kids a few times .....they literally take over the place . I feel very sorry for other families on vacation there for the day .

I know we had talks about not missing the meeting to attend this gathering (when Christmas fell on a Thursday or Sunday ). Certain CO's tried unsucessfully to derail the party too ,but the local fa,ilies like their Christmas tradtions ! heheh

Well my wife just told me to forget about her on Saturday because there's a big party going on at a brothers house all day long.

So I told her that, oh the whole hall is getting together on Christmas how nice. She almost choked on her food.

Sucks for me though, I guess.

Teacher: Johnny please be like all the other kids in class and just take a candy and eat it.

Johnny: No, it's against my Christian conscience to consume food tainted by association with the pagan fesitival of Christmas.

Teacher: Okay then can I offer you $5.00 in lieu of the tainted food?

Johnny: No problem! Do I have a choice of coins to make up the $5.00?
