Instead of Snoop Doggy Dogg (as he was called then) the speaker called him Snoopy Dog Dog. People laughed so hard that no one took anything the speaker said seriously after that.
hey undercover .......what convention did you hear that at as I heard that too.

Years ago,
I remember a group of kids from the hall got tickets to see Back Street Boys . Before the concert there was a special needs talk about the lewd conduct at concerts and what goes on backstage. None wound up going.
A sister I know had 12 front row tickets to see Rolling Stones and when word got around ....she got rid of the tickets. -

Names given to children
by the_classicist inwhat i've noticed, is that there seems to be a lot of recent jw parents who make sure to name their kids by some hebrew/biblical name.
so now you have kids running around w/names like ezekiel, reuben, isaiah, etc.
there were also a few strange names that i'm sure some of these kids would've been made fun of because of it.. have any of you noticed this?

Do some WT phrases make you squirm?
by jeanniebeanz infor me it's "the doors of the ark are closing.
i can never forget as a child, being forced to see the graphic images in the publications showing families, mothers with little babies clinging to a rock and others drowning as the ark floats away.
fathers shaking their fists at god for destroying their families... it's like some of the little mind control still functioning in there somewhere causing a kneejerk reaction of uneasiness.... are there any others that bug you?.

Many of my friends cannot get motivated at all with life because the system is going to end soon. Won't get established jobs, won't marry, especially if their spouse died (being faithful till they are ressurected...I am sure there is a whole thread on that somewhere)
I had that thinking for a long time. Not thinking about getting older in this system. I fineally got a job with benefits and retirement etc.
But it is as if some witnesses use this to give themselves permission to just do nothing .....to just wait for things to end. They are already ending their lives by waiting....If that makes any sense. -

This makes me think of a brother I know from Australia that told me he sings the Kingdom Melodies in all sorts of different accents. It was hilarious to sing them at meetings and think of the different accents he was trying out. so I was sometimes smiling or even a bit of a laugh when singing.
BUT.........really if they can change the Awake to make it better and if the light gets brighter.......music for sure changes and would like to see some new songs introduced. -

A most embarrassing review for me one time.
It was when "Who wants to be a millionare" was at peak of popularity.
I raised my hand and answered, something I rarely do.
Then the answer had to be wrong.
The conductor said ....is that your final answer?
The audience was roaring with laughter.
Glad the review was a bit more fun.
but wish it was not at my expense!!!!!
