Oh my... someone posts about a TV show and we can't help but put our 2 cents in (which by the way here... is rounded down to nothing) by calling everyone who watched the show 'simple minds'. If 'Lost' didn't interest you, what the hell are you doing on a thread about the show in the first place? And yes, it is disprectful to dismiss people as 'simple' just because you don't like the show. If you read around the thread properly, there were others who said they never showed any interest with the show either... no 'kissing arse' from them but they weren't getting into any name calling in the first place.

Oh yeah... and I'll repeat Jackie's quote multiplied by three.

List of Prominent JW Urban Legends...

hey folks,.

i'm wondering if you all could help me with my next video that i want to put up in the next couple of days (though i'm hoping for tonight), i want to come up with a list of the most prominent urban legends surrounding jws and then refute them whatever they may be.. i'm thinking there's the urban legend about the question on jeopardy that said the nwt was the most accurate would be a good one.

that one stems from an online powerpoint presentation named theological jeopardy and a book which was written comparing six different translations of the bible.

The John Denver one was told to me by a pioneer who had just returned from Bethel. She claimed she was at the concert and he refused to start until all JW's had left the building.

Interesting... I was told the same thing by a sister my congregation... that she was at one of his concerts and he demanded all the JW's leave before he would continue playing.

The version of the John Denver story I heard was in the UK, Annie Lennox was the artist and she asked the JWs to leave because they were preventing her from summoning demons.

Green Day and Shakira were supposed to have done similar too.

There's also the story of the sister who was alone when she called on a man who'd just committed a murder. When asked why he didn't kill her since she pretty much a witness, his reply was something along the lines of "those two huge men standing behind her" (supposedly angels)... version I heard happened 'somewhere in the US'.

Another one that supposedly happened in the US... a carload of witnesses doing rural territory. Saw a lone house and to get it they had to drive across train tracks. Got stuck on the train tracks with a train coming and felt the car being lifted off the tracks just in the nick of time.
