  LET US TRY AN EXQUISITE CORPSE

  by Terry in

  among surrealist techniques exploiting the mystique of accident was a kind of collective collage of words or images called the cadavre exquis (exquisite corpse).

  based on an old parlor game, it was played by several people, each of whom would write a phrase on a sheet of paper, fold the paper to conceal part of it, and pass it on to the next player for his contribution.

  i will begin the story.

  ..."wasn't that the Jackson family over there in the corner?" thought Mookie.

  It wasn't their singing that caused him to notice. Like everyone else in the Hall, their lips barely moved as they stared blankly ahead.

  "I wonder how long Mrs. Jackson spends picking out all those afros. Well, I suppose it would take about 10 minutes for each one, and, let me count... just how many kids?..."

  The complexity of this mental arithmatic would have been painful had not the song "Purple Haze" been looping through his head. That had a rather calming effect on him, perhaps because it reminded him of his last really good trip, about six years ago...

  ...just about all thought in Mookie's cognitively dissonant mind ceased right then. Before the startlingly uplifting chorus "but the Bible tells us that soon there will be..." could jostle him out of his reverie, his eyes rolled back in his head; he even began to drool.

  If someone would have been watching his lips just then, focusing on, not the drool, but the intent of Mookie's sub-sub-sub cortex to utter praise for this sublime moment, they could have seen a barely preceptible, "wowwwwwwwwww"

  ...

  "I SAW YOU drooling over Sister Doogooder's rear during the song!!!!"

  Mookie was being accosted at the close of the meeting by an older woman he hadn't even met. He knew that he hadn't been checking out Sister Doogooder's rear. Well, she had been standing right in front of him.

  But if he had been thinking of anything besides good-trippin' (somehow 1969 was the year of only GOOD trips), Jimi Hendrix, and how many Jackson's there were besides the 5 with which he was so familiar, it was only Cookie.

  "Oh really, you don't know what I'm talking about?" shouted the old woman, unaware that Mookie was not nearly as deaf as she.

  "Well, you should pay more attention then, sonny! I was with her yesterday when she picked out her dress for next week's Memorial, and...now let's see what was I talking about...oh yes, she said something..."

  Then her voice dropped to a whisper, which sounded as if she were whistling through her gums. She pulled Mookie really close to her face, still thinking he was deaf (or stupid). For a moment, Mookie thought he saw infinity in the depths of that toothless, dark maw.

  "She said something about being excited to have an occasion to dress real pretty. She picked out a nice blue dress, and you know she hasn't worn any color since her sister, Diana Ross, quit studying and decided to do a remake of The Wizard of Oz. Are you baptized yet, or still studying? Because, you know, we're having the Memorial next week. You are coming, right?"

  Mookie knew neither what this 'Memorial' was all about, nor this 'baptism' mumbo jumbo. But he did recall faintly overhearing some comment by Brother Doogooder about 'dunking him before the Memorial'. And it did sound strange to be invited over for a Memorial day pool party in April! <edited to omit commit about Mookie mistaking the pink sausage for 'bloodless'>

  Mookie tried to pull himself away from the old woman before she sucked anymore life out of him. But he couldn't escape her grasp, or her fetid breath, just yet.

  "Can't you see??? She likes you!"

  But just then Mookie saw Cookie leaving the Kingdom Hall. And she was all he saw. Oh, and the numbers 36, 26, and 36 (Not to be confused with 666) for some reason popped into his head.

  As Mookie wondered why she was leaving without saying goodbye, or even hello, little did he know that she was thinking of a) how sexy she would look in a nice new blue dress (coincidentally, of course), and b) whether her husband would notice she had snuck out with his checkbook.

  Little did she know that the checkbook she had grabbed was actually...

  Quotations from the past

  by rockhound in

  it occured to me last evening, while reading "famous quotes", that if the word government was replaced by the word religion, how many of these quotations would apply to the watchtower society and it's members.. we will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people.

  --dr. martin luther king jr. .

  the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

  Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.

  Jesus was the prodigal son

  .

  perhaps this will not be printed in the wt anytime soon, but think about it.. look at the parallels between the behavior of the brother in the parable and the behavior of jesus' real siblings.. jesus was accused of associating with 'tax collectors and sinners'.. he once saved a woman from being stoned by an angry mob for 'adultery'.. he was also criticized for allowing a woman, probably of 'ill repute', to pour expensive oil over him and cry at his feet.. jesus was the prodigal son.... .

  Hey 6 o'!

  Actually, that's been heavy on my mind the past couple of days.

  Since I hate being passive aggressive, let me explain my views on the recall election: Arnold is a supreme ASSHOLE! There is a difference between being a charmer and being a sexual predator...but people refuse to see this.

  Anyhow, what's your take on the feminist nature of Jesus?

  There is good reason to believe that U.S. intelligence relies on torturing captives to extract information. Remember, George W. was moving to get U.S. forces exempt from war crime responsibility.

  Also, the U.S. does not recognize the authority of the International Court of Justice, the U.N.'s legal court.

  The U.S. had astonishingly little to fear from Iraq.

  The U.S. does not give a flying sh*t about Iraq's 'crimes against humanity'... the U.S. supplied Iraq with weapons while the Kurds were being exterminated. (U.S. aid has recently gone to Turkey to kill the Kurds on the Turkish side of the Iraq-Turkey border)

  "Nice guys" don't test your boundaries like that.

  This guy sounds like he is just waiting to get the upper hand. You need not feel sorry for him if he has insecurities. Insecure guys coerce women into sex.

  You are intelligent...he will scurry away when he realizes you will not cater to his adolescence.

  What kind of JW would it take to defend his/her faith amongst apostates?

  by be wise in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  im thinking only a brain-dead one!

  maybe the whipper snapper shows off to his/her jw friends, thinking they're so strong and superior because it doesnt affect their faith in god.

  (only a jw this small minded would even bother and would fail to see even some of the truth in what x-jws say.

  JWs are well prepared to deal with skepticism...it feels great to them to rely on logical fallacies.
