  I came across this gem when sorting through some old 3.5" diskettes.... I know it's been posted before and lots of people have probably already seen it, but for the new members, here's an oldie but goodie:

  The Dead Generation

  JWMan 1: "Hello. I've got a complaint."

  Governing Body Member (GBM): "What is it?"

  JW: "This Generation you sold me is dead."

  GBM: "No it isn't"

  JW: "Yes it is, look at it! It ain't even moving since the November 'Towers"

  GBM: "Its not dead, its just been readjusted."

  JW: "READJUSTED!! Its not readjusted, its bloody dead."

  GBM: "You're just not looking at right."

  JW: "How am I supposed to look at it??"

  GBM: "Have you tried squinting?"

  JW: "Shall I hang upside down, too?"

  GBM: "Oh, no,no,no...blood will rush to your brain and you might be tempted to use it. Try looking at it sideways."

  JW: "Nope, its still dead."

  GBM: "Have you tried shaking it?"

  JW: "Look man, I have tried shaking, squinting, staring, blinking, and jumping up-and-bloody-down and its still dead."

  GBM: "It might be pining for the new system."

  JW: "Pining for the new system? Look it would have fallen down long ago if you hadn't nailed it up!"

  GBM: "Maybe it's just resting"

  JW: "It's not resting. It's dead, passed on, ceased to be, gone to meet its maker, passed over, this is an ex-generation!"

  GBM: "You tried squinting?"

  JW: "Yes, and it's still dead. I would like a new doctrine please."

  GBM: "Very well, I have "All Churches Suck" very popular."

  JW: "Does it give a time frame for the end?"

  GBM: "No...no...no it doesn't"

  JW: "Well then it's not a suitable replacement then is it?"

  GBM: "I don't have any more time...."

  JW: "You got plenty since you killed the generation"

  GBM: "I am very busy in the Kingdom work. The only thing I can offer you is vague promises subject to abitrary change."

  JW: "That's it is it?"

  GBM: "Well I'll throw in a general feeling of self-righteousness with a side of arrogance and some denial."

  JW: "That will have to do, make sure you put it in a pretty colored wrapper so I'll feel like I have something."

  GBM: "Putting nothing in a pretty wrapper is our specialty."

  Very funny. MP stuff has a wide range of applicability... like the Bible does.

  A photo of the GB in their suits brought the Lumberjack Song in my mind.

  Welcome Malachi constant, I've not seen your posts before. Do you mean the Monty python Lumberjack song? I used to listen to a comedy radio station on the eighties in the Southern California area that played a lot of Monty Python, including this gem. My children tell me they actually remember this, I like to think it's part of the reason they are not currently Jehovahs Witnesses.

  I cut down trees, I skip and jump, I like to press wild flowers

  I put on women's clothing and hang around in bars.
