  Jehovah's Witness Costume Top Seller This Year

  BOSTON (DPI) - The top-selling costume in nearly every costume shop this year is the Jehovah's Witness costume. The costume comes complete with shirt, pants and religious pamphlets. This month people are urged to not pretend they are out when these people come to homes as they may be in search of "fun-size" Snickers bars. Also quite popular this year is the door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman costume. The criminal-line costumes have also fared well with the serial rapist costume selling the most, followed by the armed burglar costume, which comes with black ski mask and sawed-off shotgun.

  I mentioned this in another thread, but on my first Halloween out I actually dressed up as a Jehovah's Witness. I wore a long flowered dress and carried my old bible with me. It was really creepy, but it was my way of distancing myself from my past.

  I originally planned it to be more of a performance art piece, where I would go around the party witnessing to people, but that was too psychotic even for me.

  Most people thought it was really funny, but the few who knew about my past were understandably freaked out.

  What I find amusing about the whole thing is JWs don't celebrate halloween! You can collect treats in your bookbag!

  kyria,

  I wore a long flowered dress and carried my old bible with me. It was really creepy, but it was my way of distancing myself from my past.

  Yeah, the jaydub-as-performance-art thing would nauseate me even now, eight years out.

  But *brainstorm* you could anti-witness -- "Yes, Proverbs 4:18 proves that Jehovah's people know all kinds of bull**** that ain't so. Now, Jesus applied this scripture in [pick verse at random and read it], which shows that my standing here talking to you is a total waste of time. Gimme some candy."

  Now that might be fun.

  Here in Exodus it says that Jehovah brought a plague of M&M's upon the Egyptians...

  JWs do not participate in costume parties (even non-Halloween ones) because they do not want to imitate unsavory persons.

  Now, let's see, the top selling costumes are JWs, serial rapists, and armed robbers. I guess they're right. Those are pretty unsavory persons.
