  well folks, read it and weep.

  they've made it tough for you and me, they really have.

  "my very elegant mother just sat upon nine...." nine what, you jerkpiece astronomers??

  I bet Gustav Holst is pretty glad he left Pluto off 'The Planets Suite' now - or he'd be feeling pretty silly....(well, if he was still alive)

  Name Things JWs Try To "Demonize"

  the witnesses are always trying to scare the faithful by telling them that if they don't adhere to the teachings and lifestyle of the brotherhood-----that bad things are going to happen to them.

  for example, they might tell you of brother regret who left the "truth", had "fun" in the "world" and then got aids.

  now he's back in the "truth" but he only has months to live................can you think of other examples of how the witnesses try to spook the rank and file?

  Have Ouija boards gone out of fashion now? Bet that made a few Demons redundant. Thought I saw a thread on them a few months ago?

  Do you think Demons have street cred? I mean, what sort of Demon would hang around on a pair of fireside horse brasses? All his mates would take the pee out of him.

  Blimey Katie - don't forget your hammer - you'll have to nail the demons to your pasteboard! Hope the pasteboard doesn't levitate. Is it safe driving with all that in your boot? Will you be getting one of those naff stickers, ''Baby Demons on Board'' ?

  Charity Shop = seen in every town. Shops which we donate unwanted items to which are sold and the proceeds go to that charity. In my town, there's an Oxfam, Help The Aged, NSPCC and a few more.

  Car Boot Sale = Loads of people gather at 6am on Sunday mornings in a field (where they pay a farmer 5 quid to park their car), then they open their boot (the back bit of the car), take out a pasteboard and pile it with unwanted junk - hoping to sell it to people who have nothing better to do on a Sunday morning but wander round a muddy field rummaging through stuff that should have been binned a decade ago. Great British passtime.

  If I was a Demon, I'd find better things to do than attach myself to a Pyrex dish or fish-slice.

  Are household items the Spirit-World's mode of transport?
