Falcon,
Ricky is a comedy genius! The problem is JW's like many other Christians, cannot take the stick out of their arses long enough to enjoy a good joke. (As a Christian myself, I can say this) LOL

jay leno - just a massively tired and unfunny tool who should be burned for what he did to conan especially.. talented opposite: conan o'brien or jimmy kimmel.. carrot top - somehow figured out how to make a career out of prop comedy.
i'll give him that much.. talented opposite: this is tough because prop comedy is deader than ghenkis khan.

this link contains a play by play of russell's last days including why and how he was found dead in a toga made from sheets.
thought some may find it interesting.. http://www.gtft.org/biblestudents/pastorrussellslastdays.html.

Russell would have had to be famous as a president for every casual train employee to immediately recognize him.
They may have recognized him as the nutty preacher who put his sermons in the paper as ads?

Menta Sturgeon was Russell's Male secretary.
And the Plot thickens.........

Band & snowbird,
Thats why this detailed account is so interesting.
I knew a Witness lady (I used to care for her), who was of the anointed and lived to be 104. Her parents were original bible students under Russell and she told me some interesting stories about him. Many bible students today will tell you that Russell's writings were published in newspapers all over the country because he was such a wonderful preacher.
However, this lady told me Russell would publish his sermons as ads in the newspapers. In other words, he PAID for their publishing! That is way different then saying he was so great a preacher he was in all the papers, isn't it?
Also from all I read about him including all of his studies in the scriptures I can say he was deffinately an eccentric fellow. The toga thing is a little odd by itself. He also used lots of Mason terms in his books, although I don't think he actually was one. And then the Sun God Ra disks on his books was odd too. This lady I took care of had the original ones. Wish I had taken them, her family tossed them when she died. She was the only JW left. The rest were all Catholics.
Anyway, Russell borrowed from lots of places and invented his own religion. He borrowed from Masons, the Adventists, the millerites, the egyptians, the romans (toga), and many others. His theology was a mixed bag of nuts.
it has come to my attention that a new internet radio show will debut this saturday, april 30, 2011 at 10 pm edt.
i'm looking forward to seeing how it takes shape.
i wanted you to know about it.
Cool Mad, I will be listening too. Just put the date and time on my calender. Peace, Lil

I attended some bible student meetings too and they were also not for me. I agree, they don't "see" Russell like othersdo. Probably the same as we were in the organization and we didn't see the WT's faults either.
I just posted this because I was looking for information about Russell and why he wanted to be in a toga at death and this came up. Was interesting to read though.

i've compiled my list of the 10 worst comedians ever.
jay leno - just a massively tired and unfunny tool who should be burned for what he did to conan especially.. talented opposite: conan o'brien or jimmy kimmel.. carrot top - somehow figured out how to make a career out of prop comedy.
i'll give him that much.. talented opposite: this is tough because prop comedy is deader than ghenkis khan.
I agree Ricky Gervais is funny. Anyone like Jimmy Kimmel?

LOL, Well, she was never known for her looks now was she? Even with all the plastic surgery she is still a little below average in looks. Poor girl! But at least she makes up for it in talent.
we are adults here and don't want jwn to reflect a hostile enviornment for lurkers who may.
wish to learn about the watchtower.
many first timers might be very curious to discover whether.
Terry, Great List!
I will add one thing I HATE;
When someone doesn't agree with my opinions and proceeds to tell me that I still have the "Witness" mentality. I never had the Witness mentality when I was a Witness! If I did, I would still be one. This is the ONE thing that gets my goat more than anything else.

I agree with your list with one exception; my lisa lampanelli substitute would be kathy griffin. Kathy is also loud mouthed and crude but WAY funnier than Lisa.
I totally agree with Jay Leno being at the top of your worst list. The guy tells corny jokes and then laughs at them himself. Conan is WAY funnier. Both are from Boston, where I live. Most here love Conan and pick him over big chin anyday. My favorite skits of Conan are when he makes fun of his Irishness, and does the leprechaun impersonation. Plus he has rooster hair, lol. I just LOVE me some Conan O'brian.
