  We may not have gone this far to be sure, but I remember when I once cut off my nose to spite my face.

  since we're accused by some of being so negative about jehovah's witnesses, let's start a thread regarding some positive things about being a witness or believing in the organization.

  Other #1- Firstly I might say:"Hey, how the hell did you guys know I was in here?"

  Other#2- I'd then add:"I just had rectal surgery. Do you want to see my scar?"

  Other #3- Then:" Hope you fellas won't be too upset. It really only took 1 pint and they do marvelous cross-matching here."

  Other #4- Finally, I'd conclude with:"Mygawd these are strong drugs, I just can't seem to stay awake any longer. NURSE!!!"

  While we attended numerous congregations throughout our stint as witnesses, in most of the halls the back of the KH was the place where df'd folks sat. However, in one congregation, df'd people were gently ushered into the second school, where they could observe the meeting through the window. I used the word gently, because to their credit, the elders were quite kind and compassionate to those who were having spiritual difficulties. There was also one hall in which an older lady who had been df'd would "sit anywhere I damn well please" as we often heard.

  Hi Estee, Welcome to the West Coast. Hopefully you'll find it a good move and who knows, maybe my wife and I can meet you sometime. Just out of curiosity,to which SkyTrain station are you referring? Is it in Burnaby or is your job all that is there? I ask only because we live in Burnaby right next to a station.

  i recently got a card from my friend uncle bruce.

  he's found a new love in his life, and i would like to share him and her with all of you who know and love him as i do.

  uncle bruce is nearly as crazy as i am and his new love is kinda cute and all, but even i'm not so fearless that i would dare fornicate on a motorcycle going down the highway.. i'm not joking about the card, btw.

  I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally I think UB's momma has skinny legs and that afro hairstyle went out with the Bee Gees and Olivia Newton John. She's from Down Under;no? The whole picture kind of reminds me of a scene in Sleazy Rider, if ewe know what I mean.

  driving down a rural road in kansas with his pet donkey in the back of his pickup truck, a young man got a flat tire.

  he got out of his truck, coaxed the donkey out of the bed of the pickup and had it stick its head under the bumper to lift the truck.

  a passing farmer saw the event and stopped.

  #3 If there were occasions where meeting attendance was impossible, we would come up with an excuse of some sort, and yes we did usually feel pangs of guilt. That was while we were "towing the line". Toward the end of our activity, we could find any excuse(s) not to be at the hall, and now we just don't care. I ran into a witness the other day whom we've known for the entire tenure of our being witnesses and when he asked how our meeting attendance has been, I said it doesn't exist period and mygawd you'd think the world had come to an end. I was on the receiving end of a half hour lecture on the importance of "staying close to Jehovah and his organization, blah, blah, blah.It truly was amazing. No not Amazing! It will be interesting to see how this plays out, as my workplace is in this guy's territory, and the KH is but two blocks away.

  Three guys called Linden, Simon and Keith are traveling and they need to get a room for the night. They put all of their money together but they still only had enough money to get one room, so that meant they all had to sleep in one bed. They've been friends since school, so are perfectly comfortable with being with each other. They slept that night and when they woke up Linden, who was sleeping on the far left said, "I had the weirdest dream, I dreamed that I was beating off." Simon, who was on the far right said, "I had the same dream." Keith, who'd been sleeping in the middle said, "Man, I dreamt I was cross-country skiing." ^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^
