  Funny Songs that Remind You of JWs

  by Scully in

  after reading metatron's post about how love among yourselves has dropped to a lower priority for the wts, i was reminded of a song that i heard ages ago by weird al yankovic that basically says how i feel about any fleeting thought about going back to the jws.. do you have any songs that remind you of why you'll never go back?.

  here's mine; i changed the lyrics to suit:(constant doo wops in the background throughout the song).

  aahh..... .

  Scully, I loved Wierd Al's original and I LOVE your version.

  Here's mine (slightly modified). It's a bit obvious, but too fitting to pass up:

  I Hear You Knocking
  I went away and left long time ago
  Now your knocking on my door
  I hear you knocking
  But you can't come in
  I hear you knocking
  Go back where you been
  
  You begged me not to go but I said goodbye
  Still your telling me all your lies
  I hear you knocking
  But you can't come in
  I hear you knocking
  Go back where you been
  
  You better get back to your used to be
  'Cause your kind of love ain't good for me
  I hear you knocking
  But you can't come in
  I hear you knocking
  Go back where you been
  
  I told you way back in '92
  I no longer wanted to be seen with you
  I hear you knocking
  But you can't come in
  I hear you knocking
  Go back where you been

  What is a 'Momma's Boy'...

  I guess I've always had a different definition of "Momma's Boy."

  To me it was never about putting your mother before anyone else in your life. It just meant that you have a stronger connection to your mother than to your father. It's not that you don't love your father, becaus you do, it's just that you have a stronger bond with your mom. (My sister is exactly the opposite, she's a "Daddy's Girl.")

  Some of you know my background: I moved out of my parents house at 18. Moved back in at 20 to, among other things, help take care of things while my father was recovering from an accident. Back out at 22 and haven't been back. Before meeting Wayne, I did all my own cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. (Of course, now, we split the duties.)

  I've been proud to wear that label, as has Wayne.

  It's hard to believe that the dramas were what I always said was "the best part of the convention."

  However, I guess if you consider what else you have to listen to at the DCs, then I guess the drama is still the best part of the program. At least there are people in funny outfits to laugh at.

  I'm a Gemini. I have two nephews and a niece that are all Geminis as well. And I work with three others.... we're all alike. I don't know if I believe the whole zodiac thing, but it's too weird to just dismiss.

  Also, I was born in the year of the Rat. I don't know what that's all about.

  for those of yall that didn't know, kristi was a 37-yr-old ms patient that i took care of for the last year of her life.

  she had a wonderful ribald sense of humor and talked like a sailor at times.

  but it was all to cover up the ultra-sweet and tender heart she had.

  Whenever I hear a dub say "this wicked system of things," I turn in to a smurf and run across stages at district conventions, circuit assemblies and kingdum halls across the globe.

  I also actually have the power of GAYDAR. But that didn't come around until after I left the dubs.

  Is College now wrong for Jehovah's Witnesses again?

  i have been out of the jw's for many years now but i still have devout jw's family members.

  and i am attending college now at 40 yrs old working on my ba degree.

  i was so happy a few years ago when my jw mom told me that the wt is slacking off on telling jw's teenagers that college is bad and it is ok to attend college and universities.

  It was said before, but I'll say it again.... It has always been "wrong" for JWs to go to college.

  It doesn't matter what the WT said, the 'brothers' from the stage were always against it. If you went anyway, you were pulled into the back room and we even got a special shepherding call because of my decision.

  I will say, the brothers in the congregation where I went to school were GREAT! No judgement what so ever, but the Elders in my hall were not happy at all.

  Since I grew up in Arkansas, I naturally developed the Southern accent. When people would hear my accent they would do two things: 1) Mentally deduct ten points from my I.Q. 2) Look at my feet to see if I was wearing shoes.

  I went to college in the Midwest and took a class called Voice and Diction. This class removed a lot of my accent. After college I lived in the Southwest for seven years. Eventually, my Southern accent faded. When people would find out that I was originally from Arkansas, they would always say, "Well, you don't sound like you're from Arkansas." Of course, now that I have moved back, my friends from Texas tell me that I have a Southern accent again. I tell them that I'm still wearing shoes, too.

  For what it's worth....
