yes it's true, i got to experience first hand the awesome magic powers of sparlock, the warrior wizard!tm.
this last weekend a friend of mine asked me if i could take him to the mechanic's to pick up his car after being serviced.
now this friend of mine (who is not and has never been a jw) is the the one and only friend that i've remained in constant contact with through the dark quarter century of my life when i was a witness.
Sings 'Sparlocking, across the universe, always goin forward 'cus we can't find reverse'
I got my Sparlock mugs last week and they are awesome. Gave one to my daughter who still lives with my JW Ex (evil chuckle). My daughter is out and thinks this is hilarious too. :-)
EVERYONE I show the video to says 'and what fricking cult is this again? What a bunch of retards' or words to that effect.
The Sparlock video is the best tool EVER for quickly immunising people against this cult.
lots of guys have a mechanical facination, be it cars or building things or one of a hundred other ways.
one area in particular is watches.
i have a few that i love.. a personal fav is my tissot sea star 1000. cant post a pic atm but its an awesome watch.... .
My own personal favourite is my trusty old Swiss Army S/S Officers Automatic. Steel casing is about 2mm thick and just about bullet proof.
Tissots are good value for money (but NEVER get a T-Touch!). The problem with Seikos is they are obsolete for parts after 5 years, but they are good watches for the price. Old Mechanical Omegas are solid, but don't touch the old Omega quartz, new ones are ok. Tag are good but over priced.
By the way - I'm a professional watch repairer. (No kidding!) And no, I won't mend your old Timex

Some nobs are trying to say it's a one-off and JWs don't have a secrecy policy!

Left a comment but I think it takes time for the moderator to allow them.
Thanks Sleepingbeauty - just ordered 2 mugs, can't wait!
okay, so far no one has posted anything about photography on this forum.
so what do you guys and gals think about digital vs 35mm?.
i use to do a little shutter bugging myself.
35mm? I'm still using medium format film on my Bronica ETRSi ! (for weddings). But even professional wedding photographers have gone digital now. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to find anyone to develop my films. I also think photography as a hobby is far less popular than it used to be.
Film is dying/dead. Digital is so much cheaper (less waste - just print the one you want), and easier!
I do think though that in years to come people won't have the joy of blowing the dust off a box of old family snaps and laughing/crying at all the silly pictures (that wouldn't be printed now due to some minor flaw).
Sleepingbeauty - tried that but no luck. I think you can only access it if you log on? :-(
Whereabouts on funkymugshop, can't find it?
allright my first post messed up and i lost it some kind of way.
haven't posted on here in along time, obviously don't know how to anymore.. trying again.. so i was raised a jw, da for over a decade, of course estranged from parents and jw family, have a teenage son from a previous relationship.. anyways, i wanted to see what someone who had no first hand knowledge of the jws would think.
so i showed my non-jw girlfriend the obey jehovah (go sparlock!
Likewise, showed this to my non-JW girlfriend and the result was similer, she thought it was a spoof (I must admit, so did I for quite a while!)
I would just like to say a big THANK YOU to the WBTS for producing a short clip which encapsulates 'cult' in such a way that anyone can quickly see them for what they are. It used to be quite difficult to explain to non-JWs just how dangerous they are in a simple to understand way. No more!
I also showed this to my daughter and partner (both non-JWs) and they both said afterwards, that my ex (still a JW) should never be allowed to take their son to the meetings.
Go Sparlock!
He should've gone to Specsavers.
