Being referred to as a "youth," dammit!!!! Seriously, all the constant "Christian youths," "young ones," ad naseum. It's dehumanizing and demeaning to young PEOPLE. I think the only time they're referred to as people is in the title "Young People Ask." It doesn't matter if you're 3 or 13 or 23 (as long as you're not married), you're still a young one in the eyes of the congregation, lumped together as one big voiceless group.

Foul language at meetings and/or service
by MungoBaobab indid you ever hear anyone conspicuously swear at meeting or out in service?
and i'm not talking about sitting in the bleachers with your buddy at the dc and telling dirty jokes.
i mean someone slipping a curseword into her comment at the watchtower study or dropping the f-bomb after realizing he left his bookbag on the roof of the van while pulling out of the kh parking lot with a full car group.. any takers?

I was in a library once- a frickin' LIBRARY- and this five or six year old was laughing out loud as he was running down the ailses intentionally knocking every book off the shelf. Every single one; I am not exagerrating one single bit. But get this: his mother was right behind him the whole time! Imagine your stereotypical dumb blonde; that was her to a tee. She was whining after him in her ditzy voice "Now, Jeffery, I really wish you wouldn't do that..." My tax dollars paid for the librarians to clean up the mess.
Tell me, what scars a kid worse, growing up with NO DISCIPLINE or getting a whack on the butt for vandalizing public property?

I was in a Borders once-with a girl no less- and some little bastard thought he'd try some Micky Mouse bullshit and hide behind a CD rack and throw jellybeans at us. I couldn't decide whether or not to go after him. Better to look like a bully going after some little kid or a pussy if I did nothing? So I went after the kid and snatched the box of jellybeans out of his hands, and he had a look on his face like he crapped himself. I can't remember what I told the little punk, but I made him cry in front of two of his friends. Oh yeah, it was like 10:00 on a Saturday night, and these 12 year-olds had no parents in sight.

NWT Sighting on American Idol: UPDATE
by MungoBaobab ini remember this caused quite a stir a few weeks ago.
for those that don't remember, during a quickly-edited montage on american idol a woman appeared to be holding a copy of the new world translation.
well on tonight's episode it seems this was the mother of a girl named a'ashia ("asia").

No, she wasn't singing gospel. She actually had a rather unique voice; I was surprised they cut her. But then again, she looks like a boy. The producers put all of the ugly people in one room, all of the bad singers in another, and split the keepers in two other rooms. The hosts then went to each room and related the good or bad news. This A'aisha'a or whatever the hell lipped off the show something fierce after her room got axed (the ghetto attitude).
This is the first season I've followed the show; now I see why it's been such a hit. It's fun.

I smell a rat. Since when do Witnesses talk about "the end of the world?" "End of this system of things," maybe. "The last days," maybe. But "the end of the world?" I don't buy it.

Did your KH sound system ever pick up CB radio?
by MungoBaobab ini remember mine did, way back in the early- to mid-80's.
it was always funny to all of a sudden hear a trucker hollering out the f-word in the middle of the service meeting!
man, if could only imagine the deer-in-the-headlights look of panic in the eyes of the elders.

Well did it? I remember mine did, way back in the early- to mid-80's. It was always funny to all of a sudden hear a trucker hollering out the F-word in the middle of the Service Meeting! Man, if could only imagine the deer-in-the-headlights look of panic in the eyes of the elders. The couple of seconds that passed as the brother running the sound system scrambled to turn down the volume must have seemed like an eternity to them.
