so this fella went into a pub and said to another guy sat at the bar: "i think jehovah's witnesses are all assholes!
" to which the guy sat at the bar replied: "i resent that remark.
" so the fella said "oh, i'm sorry, i didn't realise that you were a jehovah's witness".
So this fella went up to heaven after he died and got shown around by Saint Peter.
As they were walking around seeing the sights, they came across this enormous football stadium. As they got closer, Saint Peter looked at the newbie, put his finger to his lips and said: "Shhhhhhh!"
"Why?" said the new fella, "What's the problem?"
"Ah, said Saint Peter, "There's 144,000 Jehovah's witnesses in there and they think that they're the only ones up here!"

a slick salesman will employ a call to action (buy now) and will often assign a sense of urgency to this: act now, offer will expire in the next couple of minutes, hours or... the person is urged to make a decision, to commit to something they normally would have passed on or taken time to think about.. an example of this can be seen in online sales pages.
This is fabulous stuff. My own parents joined the JW's to save my skin. After they'd been studying for a while and encountering hostilty from our relatives, they sat down and decided to take a chance and NOT join the JW's. Then my father paused and said to my mother: "I'm willing to take a chance with my life, but can we take a chance with Snuggie's life?" So they jumped on the fear wagon after all.
The irony is that Snuggie loathed it and left the JW's not long after leaving home.
what a hoot!
funniest think i've ever heard about the witnesses!.

No one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends.
Ive been getting this wrong for years. I thought it was about lying down one's wife for his friends.
Oh well...
the first ever billboard has been crowd funded on reddit and will be going up.
i'm curious to know if it will cause a spark in any jw's who already have questions or doubts and lead them to research into the child abuse cases and lead them to the thought that the wt and gb are not inspired or gods mouthpiece.
at the very least it will provide people a topic of conversation and questions to the jw's who knock on their door: "so whats this whole sex abuse in kingdom halls thing about i saw on the billboard down the road?
but everyone gets a warm fuzzy feeling and are sure to pass by the contribution box on the way out.
That warm fuzzy feeling is just the sensation of common sense leaving one's body. Rather like falling in love!
