  I'd make it a place where you can go and drink a cold adult beverage, watch a game, eat sausage sandwiches or BBQ, have male bonding, and be able to leer at females, watch a live band, and discuss things ranging from politics to the Family Guy. Our idol would be Homer Simpson.

  Its very much a standard, but Fred McDowell is the first and also definitive version of the song. A couple of the local blues bands do this song too, one of them does a really great version.

  Sitting at a District Convention hearing about the "generations change" in the mid 90's, my best friend and I looked at each other, and knew our whole family had been duped, yet we could do nothing about it. He quit shortly after, and I never took it seriously after that. I think I was 15 or 16, and every time that I asked about that, I was basically told that we weren't allowed to question "new light". Why I hung around another 10 years? Well I love my family, plain and simple.

  Sorry I just meant to do that if you decide to go meet with the elders... I'd love to see their shocked looks. Just like I wear different stuff when I'm onstage to attract people's attention.

  If you have family (or REALLY close friends) in the Borg:

  1. Just ignore, maybe move to a different town, that is "incovenient" for them to travel to

  If you don't have family or REALLY close friends in the Borg:

  1. Tell him and the other elders in no uncertain terms that you are a card carrying lesbian, maybe to add shock value you could cut your hair short, dress like a trucker and put a couple rainbow stickers on your car... LOL!!!

  Sorry, hope that wasn't offensive, but I just really enjoy playing up stereotypes, and getting a rise out of people.

  Dub w/soul patch?

  by La Capra in

  2. experiences

  i was at the gym this morning, pouring myself a cup of coffee and i noticed a sweaty man sitting at a table reading what looked like the small version of the maroon deluxe nwt (the one made out of pig leather that were all the rage in the early 90's before the "donation arrangement").

  (for anyone who cares, he was in revelation.

  ) it also appeared that he had a colorful tract or magazine and the daily text book (are those spiral bound now?

  I was told point blank by my former elders that they are a "worldly fashion". When I asked, well then how come you can have hair on one side of your lips and be elders, but I ask to have hair on the other side of my lip and its a "worldly fashion"

  our circuit overseer is now using the old sermon again...now, now, brothers and sisters the national average is 10 hours a month.

  surely you want to accomplish this, don't you?

  he is even knocking coffee breaks so that we can achieve this crazy average.

  I never turned in an honest service report. I turned in at least 3 - 4 hours per month, and that included time thinking about going out in service for god's sake. When I actually WENT OUT, I counted like 4 hours on a Saturday, because that included driving to and from, and the break. I HATED, HATED, HATED service!!!! Never again!!! Now on Saturdays I sleep or go play tennis, watch tv, smoke meat in my smoker, have sex, "polish the pewter" or anything other than service.

  Whats the funniest thing you've ever seen happen in the KH?

  by shell69 in

  i remember being a kid and we didnt have the fancy fabric seats, they were plastic stackable chairs all set out in the usual lines.. an elderly bro, rather rotund, farted, the noise so loud and thundering against the plastic seat!

  or the time when i must have been about 7, my dad brought his bible study family to their first ever meeting, i had to sit on mums knee.

  i recall giving the daughter of the new family a very vigorous v sign during the meeting.

  Ok, growing up in the Southern part of the midwest, I've seen (and heard) alot of stupid and some funny things too.

  1. "Sister Payne in the rear" - was actually my step grandpa, who recently passed away. No joke, he did it at a Sunday meeting, as he was the WT conductor for years. No one ever let him live it down.

  2. Met a brother that was the spitting image of Fred Flinstone, even had the same laugh

  3. "Young sister fat ass" - ok, so I was sitting towards the front of the hall for this one. This young chubby sister, 16 or so, gets her short skirt stuck on the chair, and as she sits down, the skirt goes up, exposing her polka dot panties, and cottage cheese thighs, I almost puked I was so repulsed. She kept trying to adjust her skirt for what seemed like 2 minutes, and then finally got on with her talk.

  4. Evils of the internet KM part by 70 year old elder - there were so many hateful one liners in this one by he and the older folks, it was a fabulous performance by all involved.

  5. Grandma farting in the hall - ok, first off grandma couldn't smell AT ALL, so therefore she had no idea about how bad things were. She had bad gas one day at the meeting, and started flying off the SBD's like crazy, leaning and everything!!! My family and I were in a FOG!!! All the while she is not so slyly letting loose, finally others started to notice. It was one of the worst and most hilarious experiences ever.

  6. Me - I had to give a talk at about age 12, and read Proverbs 5:19, about a "a lovable hind and a charming mountian goat, let her breasts intoxicate you all your days" or something like that. I started laughing, and turned red. I did the same one time at about 13 when I had to read "ass" like 3 times in one bible reading.

  7. Dad was carrying the mics, "felt a turtle head pokin out" and farted loudly as he was running to the men's room in the back of the haul, unfortunately, he still had the mic with him, as he farted, he turned it off after that one.

  8. One older sister, got mixed up and lost her place on stage, and instead of trying to get it together, she just said "Oh Bummer!!!" and got off the stage, I cracked up!!!!

  These are all totally true, and there are really many more, that I just can't think of at the moment.
