How many blokes does it take to change a lightbulb? One. He stands holding the bulb and waits for the world to revolve around him. LOL!!
LOL, excellent. I thought I'd heard every variation on light bulb jokes, but this was a new one. I wonder if my husband will think it's funny.

I recently had a relative die, and found it extremely difficult to know what to say to her, especially as we could only talk on the telephone. What I talked to her about mostly was her family and how much they love her, what a good marriage she's had, how lovely her children are, and how important she was to everyone. Even though that is sad too, to leave people who love you, I wanted to focus on all the good that had been in her life. I asked her once what's good in your life right now, because I didn't want to make her talk about the grief and loss of it all, and she really responded. She told me about how much love she had received from friends, and what good care her husband was taking of her. We both ended up crying but it was very sweet, too.

Going Bald?

I really like the bald look on some men, not on others. My husband did it for a while because he was really hating his bald patches, and I liked it, but he stopped when someone told him it made him look scary. The great thing if you're a man is you can just try it, see what response you get, and if you don't like it you don't have to wait very long for the look to soften up.

Most creationists believe that basic kinds were on the ark (around 16,000 or less animals).
Well, I don't know much about boats, but wouldn't you need a ship the size of the Titanic even to pack 16,000 animals?
Edited to add:
I think their silliest belief is that you can't be happy outside the org.

When I was young and first out, I used to tell them I was raised JW and my experiences. Sometimes they would look sad and sometimes they would look angry, but they always left fairly quickly. I think it was absolutely clear to them that I had no doubts to work on. But after a while I stopped because it felt like shooting duck in a barrel, they're just too confused to be worthy opponents in an argument. Now, my one psychic talent is that I know by the knock on the door if it's JWs. I'm never wrong. I ask through the door who is it, and when they say JWs I just say "no thank you". There isn't anything they can do after that because even JWs don't like the humiliation of shouting through the door at householders.

Ridicule or Reason on JWD? What do you do?....
by ScoobySnax indo you think its right to ridicule jws on this forum or reason with them?
so many threads.
so many strong personalities.

I try not to ridicule anybody, because even if they are a total troll there's a person back there. BUT (here it comes) when someone comes on here with that JW condescending tone, telling me how it all is and calling people "dear" (and why do they do that so much, do they not realise how obnoxious it is?) then I do have the impulse to ridicule them. I usually try to resist, and sometimes I fail. I also find it very difficult to respect someone whose whole life revolves around the hope that I and everyone I love will die as soon as possible. When I've confronted JWs about this they've said, "it's not personal, it's just like someone who commits a crime has to go to jail". Oh, okay, now I'm not offended any more. Then they feel sorry for themselves because people respond with fear and loathing. What do they expect? If someone walked up to them and said "you're evil because you don't believe like I do and God hates you and you will die horribly very soon if I have my way", they wouldn't be too enchanted.

Why Sex??
by PopeOfEruke insince being de-borged, i have come to appreciate that the answer to the old blue book "did man get here by evolution or by creation" is probably "evolution".. one thing about evolution which is still hard to explain is why or how did sexual reproduction evolve?
of course now that we have it, i guess most of us would not like to go back to the "old" way, of either dividing ourselves into 2, or else self-fertilizing ourselves from our own 2 sets of sex-organs (ewwww!!!).
i know a lot of men try this anyway but to no avail.......... but what motive force could have existed to actually evolve sexual reproduction in the first place?
