To be honest, I can't even recall the last time I used the word "crazy" in the context to which you refer. Does this mean I'm crazy?

Were you ever "rewarded" for your faithful service?
by Jonty Parkin in"rewards" for faithful service sometimes used to come in the most unlikely manner.
to illustrate; the "privillege" of being a young microphone handler occasionally yielded its wholesome dividends of an unexpected nature.
for example, when i was once on microphone duty as a young aspirant ministerial slave, i was rewarded with an edifying flash of theocratic tit when a sister leant forward to give her comment.

"Tell me this post is a joke, right? If it isn't, then it should be!"
Hi Golf. You have heard of sarcasm; the "lowest form of humour but the highest form of wit"?
I think most people could see that I was being heavily sarcastic; taking the piss out of WT etymology and polemic to be precise.
But in case you are still in any doubt, yes my post was a joke, the intention of which was to demonstrate in a lighthearted fashion what a "joke" the WTS is, and to invite similar humerous anecdotes from other posters.
Hope that clears things up for you.
ps, no need to shout - I can read normal size font.

page 1 "...were the flood survivors simply individuals fortunate enough to have randomly escaped destruction?
the bible account shows that this was not the case.

Just shows how pathetic the Org is, in continually attempting to validate it's existance in such barrel-scraping rehashes of old bile!

The school where I was doing my teaching practise had a resource bank of less well-known versions of famous fairy tales. There was one version of Red Riding Hood from the 19th Century in which it is clear that the wolf intends, not to eat Red Riding Hood, but to pork her! She outwits the wolf by taking her knickers off, giving them to him to sniff while asking permission to go outside for a dump! While the wolf is busy sniffing her knickers, Red Riding hood escapes into the forest. I'm not making this up, and before anyone asks, no we didn't use that version in class!

Worried about work :S
by Elsewhere into give everyone a brief history.... i started a 4 to 6 month contract to hire position in early feb. the hope is that i will eventually become a permanent employee.
a few weeks ago i had a little chat with my supervisor asking him how things were looking for me to become a perm employee... he responded that there was currently a hireing freeze that was just put into place and i needed wait.
he added an ominous comment that i could look for perm work elsewhere if i wanted... but added that i was doing a great job.. today i came into work to find two new *perm* employees setting up in their work areas .

I don't know what the work situ is in your part of the world Elsewhere, but it seems as though your supervisors are not being honest with you.
While I was doing my teacher training, I had to work part time to make ends meet so I got a temp position in a big telemarketing company (crap job - almost as bad as being a JW!). Now of course, I had no wish to be a permanant employee there, but the cold reality was that you cot paid an extra 2 quid an hour if you were permanent. Therefore, after 6 months, I applied to have my position made pemanent.
They fed me the same bulshit as that which you have been fed, ie; there's an embargo on recruiting permanent staff.
But guess what happenned 4 days later? No less than 6 new permanent bums on seats arrived!
Sounds like time to get out matey!

Gum Chewing
by oscar in.
does anybody know if gum chewing is allowed in the meeetings anymore?
i think that is also a no,no .
-

Maybe it's a "conscience" issue. What do the scriptures say?
"Let he who chooses to chew, chew, and let he who chooses not to chew, not chew; so that whether we chew, or whether we do not chew, we bring praise to our Earthly Organisation, for she is our Mother." Wrigleys 6:9
On the other hand
"Though I am permitted by the Law given unto Moses to chew, yet will I not do so; that I may by no means stumble my brother." Gumlations 4:3
Let us pray to our loving Spiritual Mother, the Earthly Organisation for guidance and clarity, that we may stumble none at the very threshold of the rapidly approaching, soon to be here, any moment now, righteous New World Order, under the loving oversight of The Organisation and The United Nations! Amen and Amen!

by Jonty Parkin inin your congregation, did you ever have macho-wannabes on the microphones, strutting up and down the aisles handling the mikes as though they were aka assault rifles?.

"All it takes is one little flash of tit to give you a mike-on? Wow, I envy you men. Really, no sarcasm." I was only 19 at the time, been in the truth all of 18 months and not had a shag in all that time! However, I think the topic is so important, I have just moved it on to a thread of its own. See Were you ever "rewarded" for faithful service? Jonty :)

When I got home later, I gave thanks and praised the loving Earthly Organisation by handling my own mike in uplifting appreciation! Has anybody else been similarly rewarded for faithful service to the wonderful Earthly Organisation?

When Smart People Do Really Dumb Things
by Euphemism inharvard professor weldong xu has confessed to raising $600,000 on the false pretense that the money would fund sars research in china.
his reason?
he wanted the money to invest in a nigerian e-mail scam.. obviously, scientific knowledge does not necessarily translate into common sense...

LOL - that reminds me that, just before I came to China, I was the recipient of a Nigerian e-mail scam. Fortunately, I knew about this kind of con, and so I had days of fun playing along with it. I went so far as to say I had cash available for them, and to ask them for their bank details!
