  Let's all show up at the Memorial - and gasp - Partake!

  by AK - Jeff in

  here is a plan to throw the entire organization into chaos.

  many of the 'apostates' here believe in the ransom of jesus - and the command to partake of the 'communion' of the lords evening meal, right?

  i have come to accept that that 'memorial' is simply a recognition of jesus' sacrifice.

  Anyone in???

  Only if I can bring some cheese to put on the crackers, and a decent bottle of wine. Would it kill the Dubs to pop for a good merlot or syrah? Or maybe even a marechal foche?

  did you just decide one morning that that was it??

  did you agonize over making the decision?

  was it a very gradual process?

  A couple of months after graduating high school, I moved 125 miles away to start college. I had already aced the entrance exams & gotten a scholarship offer, so why not? I tried going to meetings for a while after moving to Tampa ... just to see if it would be any better going on my own when I didn't "have to go" ... but it still sucked. So I quit going. I had one brief visit from a couple of elders a few weeks later, and then I never heard from them again. Well, maybe that's not entirely accurate. I haven't heard from THOSE Dubs again. But, after a couple of cross-country moves, I do get the occasional door knocking every few years.

  Could you explain a Witnesses' position on blood?

  Sure. I can sum it up in 4 words: they're full of shit.

  i was just watching nightline (i think it was) with diane sawyer.

  the stars from ocean's twelve were on there.

  i am not a person who normally gives too much praise to celebs or athletes but these guys/gals (brad pitt, catherine zeta-jones, andy garcia, george clooney, matt damon and don cheadle) were pretty brilliant.

  Did you remember to change your clock?

  i always thought it was funny, those sunday mornings after the time change, when elder neverlatetosetanexample showed up just after the talk.

  i think everyone made some sort of comment, even just to themselves.. of course this time of year they will just think of themselves as extra theocratic, as they'd show up an hour early!.

  Daylight Saving Time does not apply to most of Indiana, either. No need to screw with the clocks twice a year, and I like it.

  This tune keeps me going ...

  Enormous Penis by DaVinci's Notebook

  When ever life gets you down,
  keeps you wearing a frown,
  and the gravy train has left you behind.
  And when you all out of hope.
  Down at the end of your rope,
  and nobody's there to throw you a line.
  If you ever get so low, that you don't know which way to go,
  come on and take a walk in my shoes.
  Never worry 'bout a thing, got the world on a string
  cause I've got the cure for all of my blues.
  
  I take a look at my enormous penis...
  and my troubles start melting away.
  I take a look at my enormous penis...
  and the happy times are coming to stay.
  
  I gotta sing and dance when I glance in my pants,
  and the feelings's like a sun-shiney day.
  I take a look at my enormous penis...
  and everything is going my way.
  
  (Whistling)
  (Scat singing)
  
  I take a look at my enormous penis...
  and my troubles start melting away.
  I take a look at my enormous penis...
  and the happy times are coming to stay.
  Yeah, I got great big amounts in the place where it counts
  and the feelings's like a sun-shiney day.
  
  I take a look at my enormous penis...
  and everything is going my way.
  (On Bob and Tom now)
  everything is going my way.
  (Hey Look at these goobers)
  everything is going my way.
  (Ei-chi-wawa)
  everything is going my waaaaaaaaaaay...... yum.

  hmmmmm ... I spotted a web site earlier today ... selling frog legs & gator fillets & crawdads by the bucket, all packed in dry ice for Fed Ex shipping. I reckon that could kill $100.

  A new driver goes for about $350. I expect to play another round or two of golf this year. So now we're up to $450. Toss in another $50 for a round of golf with cart for me & Mrs. O at one of the local courses tomorrow morning.

  Dinner out tomorrow night ... a thick, rare steak for me, lobster for Mrs. O, plus a bottle of good wine ... will kill another $150, easily. Now we're up to $650.

  Maybe a run thru one of the local adult toy retailers after dinner. Something fun for the Mrs. to wear, something fun to play with once we tumble into bed. There goes $150 or $200 more. Call it $200.Now we've spent $850.

  Tomorrow, fill up the gas tank on my truck, and have the oil changed. There goes $60. Add $10 for a car wash. Now I have $80 left to spend ...

  Another round of golf with cart for the two of us on Sunday. We haven't played much this year. OK. Now I'm down to $30 ....

  A case of beer. There's $16 for 24 longnecks. gotta cross the state line to get it on Sunday, though.

  And a run through the Wendy's drive-up window ... that'll kill the balance. But at least my son will get a cheeseburger (which he will actually eat) & the rest of us can find something to carry us through.
