This takes the cake

by Sour Grapes in

today during the public talk the speaker said that satan was behind the new modern phones, which are like mini computers, so that the world would have easy access to pornography..

ShirleyW

So in other words, the brother that gave the talk today is a porn watcher, case closed.

Always those that protest the loudest are usually taking part in what they claim they hate.

I certainly was around when records were out but I never heard of them being referred to as 12 inches when you went to purchase them. i guess that's just a juvenile joke of yours.

WiFi problems? Want a faster network? Try Powerline Adapters!

wifi is great.

it's so easy and convenient.

but it can be slow.. years ago when it first came out you maybe had a pc and a couple of other devices at most.

Gee Simon, that sounds great that there's a way to add faster speed to slow computers, etc. Now if only I understood what the heck you were talking about, the different parts and all that since I'm not a tech person !

Any funny stories of when a"brother" giving a talk, said something "funny" or "questionable", and didn't even realize it?

by Dunedain in

there were always all types of speakers in the org.

myself, growing up a "witness", must have heard all types of talks, and given by all manner of speakers, especially on sundays, when almost every week we would get a "visiting" brother giving the public talk.. sometimes, you would have a "great" speaker, all fluent and animated.

other times we would get a comical speaker, one who would maybe purposelly get a few laughs outta the audience.

Although I've been across the Verazzano Bridge a few times, Staten Island is the only borough I've never stepped foot in. All I know is Father Capadano Blvd, a main street there.

What kind of Scumbag steals a young boy leg braces.

by James Mixon in

jw

that's a sick person.

a young boy leg braces taken from his mom's car.

even worst.

ShirleyW

I'll tell you what I think is even worse, and this actually happened a while back here in NYC. A man said that he was mugged and knocked out of his wheelchair and the muggers took it. Turns out it wasn't true, the guy just needed a new wheelchair, and of course people donated to him because they felt so sorry for him. One person can just totally mess up how you feel about people who really need the help.

Have you ever had your oven door explode?

by Ucantnome in

the other day the glass in my oven door exploded and sent glass into the next room, fortunately i wasn't peering in at the time.

about a year go the previous oven door shattered one morning.

the oven was cold.

ShirleyW

That is strange, I was thinking a gas issue, but then it would've been much worse if that was the case.
