You don't know me very well! I'm anything but a racist. I think Hispanics are among the hardest working, honest people I know. I thought the joke was funny, not for the "send them home" attitude, but his INGENUITY and CLEVERNESS. Cheers!!

A pioneer brother showed up for Monday morning weekday field service with two black eyes. His pioneer partner saw it, and said "Where'd you get the black eyes?!"

He sighed. "I got them at the Kingdom Hall on Sunday." "What do you mean?! How'd you get black eyes at the Kingdom Hall?!" his buddy asked. "You weren't even here yesterday." "Well, you see," he answered, "I missed the Circuit Overseer's talk last Sunday since I was sick, so I went over to the neighboring Hall yesterday to hear his talk there. I was seated right behind the CO and his wife. Anyway, at the end of his final talk, the CO asked us to all stand and sing song #212. Well, when the CO's wife stood up, I noticed her dress was caught up pretty deep in the crack of her butt. So, I reached over and pulled it out, so she wouldn't be embarrassed. She spun around and hit me with an overhand, right in my left eye." "OK, I get that... but how did you get the other black eye?!" "Well, then I figured she must have WANTED her dress in the crack of her ass, so I put it back in there!"

Jose and Carlos are panhandlers. They panhandle in different areas of a Southern California town. Carlos panhandles just as long as Jose but only collects 2 to 3 dollars every day. Jose brings home a suitcase FULL of $10 bills, drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage-free house and has a lot of money to spend.

Carlos says to Jose, 'I work just as long and hard as you do but how do you bring home a suitcase full of $10 bills every day?'

Jose says, 'Look at your sign, what does it say?'

Carlos reads his sign. 'I have no work, a wife and 6 kids to support.'

Jose says, 'No wonder you only get 2-3 dollars a day.'

Carlos asks, 'So what does your sign say?'

Jose shows Carlos his sign.

It reads, 'I only need another $10 to move back to Mexico.'

I always wanted to be a Proffesional pilot. Now that I have more free time I am going to get my commercial helicopter license.

I'm a pilot too!! GO FOR IT! Do you have your college degree? A lot of JW's don't, and it causes them problems with flying commercially. PM me if you have any questions I can answer...

NOT INSPIRED? NO SPECIAL INSIGHTS? WHY DO R&F LISTEN?? NEW LIGHT OR NOT??

by still_in74 in

************ filled with holy spirit.

so is light not holy spirit?

if they have "light" as per acts 15:28, 29 then they claim to have holy spirit (inspiration), if they claim that the apostles were not provided the light on circumcision via holy spirit - which they do in w95 5/15 p. 12 par.

Heard at an elder's meeting:

"I worked all day at the quickbuild, and out in service in the heat of the day, and all you've got for me is a GB Light ?!"

Maybe its just me but I see this as a big deal! THE "NEW LIGHT" BIT IS ALL GB HAVE LEFT !
They have no special insights, they are not inspired. Then why do the R&F even listen to them anymore?THEY HAVE LIGHT !!! But do they???

Cue Neil Diamond, with a bit of Weird Al Yankovic, everybody sing along!

Turn on your buttlight
Let it shine wherever you go
Let it make a happy glow
For all the world to see...

"Even if it isn't true" - how many of you heard this one recently?

by hamsterbait in

i remember first hearing it after the generation change of 95.. a sister answered up at the wt and said "even if armageddon isn't coming, its still the best way to live.".

i have heard others say: "even if it isn't true, it's still the best way of life.".

my mother said it a few weeks ago!

A sister answered up at the WT and said "even if Armageddon isn't coming, its still the best way to live."
I have heard others say: "even if it isn't true, it's still the best way of life."

The key here is the "if". By using the "if", they are deflecting any need to confront challenges to their teachings or faith. The do not acknowledge there are issues, nor do they affirm that "it isn't true"--if they DID, they would leave, as we have.

Instead, they say "even if"... this allows them to continue to teach it "as truth" to those they meet in the ministry. "If" they really did not believe it was true, they could not, with good conscience, teach it to others "as" truth.
