At work, I cover the phone for the receptionist when she's on vacation. Usually around 12-12:30 I get a flood of calls of people asking to speak with various people at the office. Usually everyone is out to lunch; however, some people get really upset and demand to speak with someone "now!". What part of people going to lunch around noon don't they understand?

Elders son is GAY!!!
by Wordly Andre inha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
just looked up my old high school in classmates.com, i saw this dude who was a couple years older than me, didn't really know him but i knew his brother (who left the org the same time i did), his dad kicked him out of the house and he lived in his car, they are sons of one of the elders (assholes) who df'd my dad.
the good son was a good little jw that did everything a jw father (elder) would want his son to do, on his bio on classmates.com he says that he is gay, ha ha ha ha.

I got a good ironic chuckle from a similar story. When I came out my parents had the elders over a few times to talk to me. It was torture. They would sit around and say nasty things about gays to try to convince me it isn't what I want. They would ask me a question and I would sit silent and count in my head how long I could keep them waiting for an answer.
Anyway, my mom told me a couple of months ago that one of the more aggressive elder's son has left the "truth" and is gay. Well it wasn't too much of a surprise. Not even to my JW mom. I knew this guy was gay before I came out to myself. HAHA!! But, I guess he finally decided to leave and live his life. I did get a sort of karmatic satisfaction. Kind of like a similar story I had about the mother of a girl I went to school with.
On a side point, she told me how the elder, who has been over weight and eats unhealthy for sometime, has had a few heart attacks and is waiting for bypass surgery. I decided to put on my devil horns, poke the fire a little and said to my mom, "Wouldn't it be considered an insult to god to not do things to protect your health? I mean, if you know your heart is in trouble for sometime wouldn't you change your lifestyle? God gave you a body and then you just throw it away." She actually agreed.

COLLEGE!
by RichieRich inoh, so in the midst of everything else, college is goin well.. about 30 % of my high school graduating class came here, so its really just like high school part2.
i have 2 morning classes, and 2 night classes, so that way the majority of my schooling gets done on 2 days of the week instead of 4. last night was my first night in my english 111 class.
i already knew thaqt there was one witness in there, but its someone who i've kept up with, and someone who is cool with me, as i am.

I could almost bet that she wouldn't be so JW gun-ho if no one knew her in the class and that she has to act "holier than thou" because you and your friend are in the class. So not only is trying to intimidate you, she is being intimidated that she is being watched by you. HAHA JW Paranoia.
If it's possible, she'll probably transfer out of the class to another English.

The irritating slant to almost everything negative I have seen on Witnesses
by free2beme inwhen i left the witnesses, a person from work gave me a video about the witnesses that his church uses.
i thought it would be interesting, so i set down and watched it.
what i found was another example of one church taking about another, to then counter with points that support their way of thinking.

BTW, funnily enough, if I come across someone spouting off about what Witnesses believe and they get it wrong, I'm quick to put them right! Ha! What's going on there!?
Yeah, I hear stupid things like: "you can't drink alcohol, can't see a doctor" and it gets on my nerves not because I want to defend the cult, but I don't want people to think I had a strange childhood. Wasn't there a movie where there was a little boy that was a JW and he couldn't have candy or go to a carnival or something.

all I can say regarding this post is how infantile! I wonder how loud you folks would be screaming if this were done to one of your pet organizations?
"oh how infantile" "how childish" get a grip. We can have a little fun here and there. You can't tell that you didn't pull at least a few little pranks during you days at SC? I think it'll be fun to watch some of my liberal and gay friends have a stroke when they check their mail.
As princess said, I do not have any "pet" organizations and if I did I usually check to see how an organization utilizes their money before contributing to them.
Now I'm wondering if PETA does the same thing. (evil grin)

At the office we have a contract with our copier lease that includes toner. However, I always get calls that go like this:
Telemarketer: Hi, I'm calling from the company that supplies your toner.
Me: Oh, hey. How are you?
Telemarketer: I'm good, but I have some bad news for you. I'm calling to let you know the price of your toner went up. I need to confirm the model number of the copier with you to make sure our prices are accurate.
Me: Sharp blah blah blah
Telemarketer: Great. That's what I have in my files. Yeah the prices did go up significantly.
Me: Oh, that's not good.
Telemarketer: I'm sorry. However, I do have a few I can sell you at the old price since we didn't give you enough notice.
Me: What was the old price?
Telemarketer: $$$$
Me: Wow that's alot more than what we were paying.
Telemarketer: How much were you paying.
Me: Nothing, you see we have a contract...
