... me and my gf came up with a few ways to spoil the wine and busicuits ceremony last night, feel free to join in;.
taking a jar of marmite, and spreading it on the bread before taking a bite.. asking if there's any dips when they pass the bread.. asking the attendant who passes you the wine if there's any cheese.. faking an entire choking episode; taking the bread, gagging, choking, heinlich (sp?
) manuever, the lot.. take a good swig of wine, swill it like a wine taster, spit it out over the attendant's shoes, pass it back to him and say "it's corked".. start speaking in tongues after taking the emblems.. kneel when the speaker prays over the emblems, and then troop down to the front like a good little rc.. stick a condom packet on the tray of bread.. a few of those are a bit weak, and i honestly couldn't be arsed actually doing any, but it's fun to think of the faces... anyone else got ideas?
You know, my absolute fear during the whole malarky was that I'd accidently drop the plate when it was passed to me, or my kids would.
I'm sure they would be mortified if you, as you passed it on, gave a little flick with your thumb under the plate so that they actually or nearly drop it.
Make 'em sweat!
now i understand completely that most in this forum are 100% against jws and the watchtower.
what i don't understand is the disrespect that has been shown for such a sacred occasion that is the birthday of tua pek kong.
whether you agree with jws or not, the fact is that birthday of tua pek kong has a lot of meaning for poh hock seah's.
Jeez I thought you were just making this stuff up as a satire on Christianity but it's real!
Tua Pek Kong or God of Prosperity toured the streets of George Town in a grand procession which was organised by the Poh Hock Seah Tua Pek Kong Temple in Armenian Street.The colourful parade comprising 36 floats was held during the Poh Hock Seah 108th Year Grand Float Procession in February.The procession is held only once every 12 years, specifically in the Year of the Tiger, as the animal is the deity's mascot.
Follow the gourd!
well, i was tempted but i decided not to go to the most bizarre religious ritual of modern times....how about you?.
isp
Couldn't be arsed...
when does it end, you guys?
i've been out of the org for 9 years now.
my family is still in .....and after not speaking to me for 5 years, they're now talking to me again.
I shouldn't worry unduly about the kids, mine go to all the meetings with my wife but they can't wait to get home. They have much more indoctrination than I could ever match timewise but if you know what you're doing you can surreptitiously help your children to block the mind-control techniques. Just teach them how to think, rather than what to think.
I agree with the memorial being a time of pressure, I suffer a lot of tension around this time because I know it’s going to cause ill feeling with my JW wife and in-laws when I politely decline their offer to attend.
This year has been a biggie as far as contacting inactive ones has been concerned.
ok guys...please say you see something now...otherwise i'm going bonkers.. first if you compare the squared off section compared to the other railings you'll see what i mean: .
swastika:.
and i must have a real smutty mind or the wt are the most foul i've come across: i see a bald man licking an oversized vagina!!!
I had this problem when I used webphotos to post this image under the title: shepherding the flock with kindness.
I think it's because you are posting the properties of the thumbnail image. You have to click on the image in your album so that you get a bigger preview, post the url from the properties of that image.
Hope that works 'cus I need a bit of titillation this morning!
is it just me, or is it very difficult to be a single ex?
there are questions boyfriends ask about my family, why i dont have contact with them, and what did i do to gain their utter disfavor?
why do i put up with what men tell me to believe?
Oh Cammi. I feel for you. It's very difficult for someone who has never experienced the JW mindset to understand.
That's why we here band together on this board.
We share something...something that no-one else can understand unless they too have been through the experience.
You DO have inner strength Cammi, you have the strength to forgive your family and friends even though they treat you so badly. Only you, and people who have experienced the same rejections, can know why they do this and overcome the hurt in the name of humanity.
It's hard to be an ex, let alone a single ex. But I know from this one post that you are a good person, I sense it. You will triumph in the end.
Welcome to the board,
Dean.
what got me thinking, -------when i was seating at a district ass.
and looking at the audiences of 10,000 people seating there, i thought if all these people here were to represent all the earths population, only ten people on the front row would be saved.. since the population of the planet is 6 billion "worldly people" and 6 million jws, that means those poor bastards in the world only have one in 1,000 chance to live!
but i was "lucky" enough to be born into a jws family {and maybe 75%?
I would question the '75%' of children staying in the religion, I think it's much less than that, maybe less than 50%.
I agree, the maths sucks. But when have JWs ever been good at maths? They aren't supposed to get educated remember?
it seems to me that the so-called apostates are always one step ahead of gods organisation.. my experience with elders has led me to conclude that the dinosaur-like society cannot keep up with the information pouring out of the internet super highway.
i sometimes ask jws that i meet about things that i have known about for months and they, even elders, are completely in the dark.. this means that the elders are left fighting on their own, with little help from mother, other than the indoctrination of if its not in the watchtower it isnt truth crap.. maybe in the future the society will have to introduce apostate bulletins to bodies of elders to help them counter the constant stream of new information which is counterproductive to their retirement fund.

i just had a visit by a couple that we used to know when we went to the hall.i had just put the baby to sleep for her afternoon nap and the doorbell rings.well, i guess did`nt answer it in the required dub timeframe (3 seconds) because they laid on that button for what seemed like half a minute.i had a feeling i was on the list for a gang-save because i ran into a dub i used to work with last week.anyways they invite the bride and i to the wine and cracker party on thursday night ( and please make sure to bring your lovely daughter with you ,we miss you guys so much!
) funny,its been almost 10 years since i stopped going and 7 years for the wife and they finally got around to noticing that we were missing a few meetings ?
my magazine slot must be overflowing by now!
Yeah, my mum had a visit too this week, 'they is thicker than flys' at the moment.
It's the memorial, they're desperate to get the number count up so they can boast next year.
My mum, 60 years old and still a babe, got a call from an elder but she said she was too busy to talk as she was 'entertaining' her boyfriend!
found on a grammar site where i was checking some rules, made me smile:.
... following a game of taliban bingo (b-1, f-16, b-52, c-130, etc.
) this friday, and most every friday, compliments of spell-check software (motto: "we never wrest").. this week's 'typo of the weak' is from an old flinkets proposal, discovered in the "naval academy midshipmen's summer job: lawn mowing" file drawer, specifically from the "b-a-a-a-d job" folder..
