  Having fun with the Elders (Humor,Humour)

  by StoneWall in

  1. social
  2. humour

  a friend and i were discussing ways to really have fun with the elders or make them cringe or very uncomfortable.. here are a couple we came up with:.

  1) take cash and get a money order to send into playboy magazine as a x-mas gift for a year's subscription and give.

  them the elder's name and address to mail it to.. 2) in larger cities for a price you can get a nice looking striper give them a strip-a-gram at their residence or place of.

  Why would you want to harass someone like that? I hope you're not serious.

  Juvenile antics.
  
  Thank you, StoneWall, for reminding me why I could never get baptized into the JW's.

  MY BROTHER-IN-LAW HAS DIED

  by Mary in

  2. friends

  this is one post i had always hoped i would never have to do, but after a long and brave battle, my beloved brother in law has died.

  i have done a couple of threads on this in the past, so many of you know the battles he was facing.

  he had been diagnosed earlier this year with myelodysplastic syndrome and the mortality rate of this disease is quite high.

  So sorry Mary, my sincere condolences to you and yours.
  
  Mr. B has a dear cousin suffering from the same disease, and knowing what he's been through (even with blood transfusions and finally locating a stem cell donor) we can understand what a painful ordeal it has been all along.
  
  I am beyond anger that the WT minions would add further burdens to your family's loss! Their refusal to accept a wife's loving eulogy is wholly unjustified, disgracefully un-Christian, and downright inhumane.
  
  Wishing you all strength in the days ahead,

  He's done as well as could be expected considering his background (let the reader use discernment) in addition to the administration he inherited.
  
  Consider the alternative: McCain could've keeled over by now and we'd all be twitching and b*tching about incompetent President Sarah Palin.

  Thanks for posting this story megs, it really made my day!
  
  (Not to be a downer... but I cannot help thinking that had his family been Malawian JWs back in the '70s... he may never have been born.)

  Where does NEW LIGHT come from?

  by sacolton in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower has said over and over that they are not inspired (even though their earlier publications claimed that they were modern-day prophets), so where exactly does "new light" come from?

  if they are not inspired by god, why should anyone listen to them?.

  Watchtower Bible and Tract Society = Snare + Racket

  Martin resident cleans up with thousands in prizes on 'The Price is Right'

  By Alex Tiegen
  Posted September 22, 2009 at 2:44 p.m. , updated September 22, 2009 at 2:44 p.m.
  
  JENSEN BEACH — For Aron Morlan, Tuesday’s television episode of “The Price is Right” was unlike any other.
  
  It was a chance to hear himself called to the stage for a chance to win thousands of dollars worth of prizes on the show he’s watched since he was about 4 years old.
  
  “I’ve always wanted to hear that,” said the excited 27-year-old in his Jensen Beach home, which he shares with his father. “I finally got to.”
  
  Morlan didn’t try to hide his glee as he and his father, Jim, watched the painting contractor’s appearance on national television.
  
  Two minutes before the show started, Morlan bounced at the entrance to the living room in anticipation of seeing himself on TV. He was in Los Angeles, where the show shoots, with three friends to attend a convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses three months ago.
  
  He decided to go to a “The Price is Right” taping as well.
  
  “There we are, right there. Aaah! Aaah!” the contract painter yelled loudly, pointing to a side of the flat-screen television in his home as the camera panned over the audience and briefly showed his seated friends.
  
  Morlan guessed a little under the approximate value of two diamond-faced wristwatches and was awarded them as a prize for estimating the price closely without estimating too high. The watches arrived at his home Tuesday.
  
  For winning the show’s Secret X game, in which he had to choose the correct price of products from two choices, Morlan was given a $4,598 bedroom set with mattress, dressers and other items. He also won a $1,000 gift certificate to buy.com and a Nintendo DS copy of The Price is Right game.
  
  He earned the chance to spin the Showcase Showdown wheel, but failed to progress to the showdown.
  
  Morlan, who works with his father at Morlan Painting, said the bedroom set would be useful when he moves into a new home after he gets married. His fiancee, watching the show at her bank job in Boca Raton, apparently valued the set, too.
  
  “She didn’t care about seeing me,” Morlan said, jokingly. “She just wanted to see the bedroom set.”

  Maybe to open his eyes to your happy new life with a "worldly" wife...
  
  Send him a wedding announcement with a honeymoon pic of you two frolicking in a tropical Paradise (lion petting optional.)
