Back in the 70s when the Rhinestone Cowboy was riding high we received a letter from some JW friends who had attended the District Assembly in Houston, Texas. The sister, a true fan (fanatic) of Glen Campbell, wrote to tell us they had been told Glen Campbell was at the assembly and not only was he now a JW he was working for the friends -- on the garbage detail. She lamented that she hadn't been able to track him down.
(Epilog -- they were a nice family who had been sucked completely into the 1975 madness. He gave up his USPS job, they sold their house and became pioneers. When I last saw him about five years later he had gone back to work cleaning septic tanks for a living. Sadly, I don't think they ever realized how they had been scammed by The Borg.)

George W. is likely to be a future Harry Truman.
Nobody was more despised on his last day in office than Harry S and, yet, look at him today -- an American hero. Eventually George W.'s legacy may sort out the same way because of this:

Words in other languages which have different meanings to when we say them
by The Nothing Man indoes anybody know of any words, which are spelt and pronounced the same, which are used in other languages but which mean completely different things?
as an example (which doesn't work i know) love in english means affection, but love in say, spanish, means hate?
dumb example i know, but do you catch my drift?

Chevy tried to introduce the Nova automobile to Latin America some years ago only to learn that "no va" meant, roughly, in Spanish, "it won't go."

Be careful -- or this could happen to you too !!
by Gopher inif you make friends here, keep posting here and keep following the forum for a while, you might reach 10,000 posts.
i've found this place a really good outlet and place to learn and share for quite a while.
the number of posts doesn't really matter... but the freedom to speak one's mind and to perhaps share ideas that might help others get past the jw experience .. that does matter!.

A prime example of that is the law recently adopted in Colorado making criticism of a favored left-wing view a crime.
What law is that?

Getting political advice from Gore Vidal is like getting medical advice from Jack Kevorkian.

That is a gem! Still LOL.

** The Watchtower is probably the most highly restrictive theological system out there when it comes to major religions. **
Islam and $cientology are much worse. The Witlesses only kill their own (no blood, transplants, vaccinations) but the Muslims kill everybody -- especially apostates. Google $cientology and you'll be thankful that your cult experience just meant the drudgery of five meetings a week and knocking on doors peddling literature.
