i`m not new here, ive been cruising for a few months now, i`m about to send in a letter to da myself.
6 months ago, that would have been a scary prospect, but reading this site on a regular basis has given me the courage to pull my plug.
i`d go quietly, but i want to muck up the numbers lol.... anyway on the subject of strange talks, i`ll never forget when i was a ms, and me and another ms had a "bet" the plan was to see who could get in as many song titles into their 15 min item, or even better a service meeting item...i`m proud to say i got 7 smiths song titles in and later went on to record 12 elvis titles in a service meeting item.
And then theres the time I tried to dissuade all the congregation to stop contributing, because I was able to quote from the very first Watchtower from 1877? where it said that God would want the work to be done for free, and that he wouldnt want us to be charged for it (or words to the effect of).
Went down like a lead balloon oooooooops

..yup, just want to say hi to you all.. i m a new "face" in your territory..so far!
all the way from scandinavia..seems like there are most north americans here, but hopefully i am welcome anyways ;).
soon to be 30 year old (!
Hi Jen and welcome...Don`t worry about a thing. This board will really help you along the road to normality. I too am a cast away from the island of borg., and with it being a mind controlling cult, can take some time to break free. But your in good hands here ...Welcome once again..
Uncle Gravy
interesting place!
for whatever reason i have never chosen to search for such an bbs.
i don't know how i will fit in.
Welcome to the board Dave. Glad to meet you. One of the most confusing aspects to the borg is the DFing policy. You get shunned by everyone you once knew, but if you where a bad, bad, worldy person they would spend inordinate amounts of time trying to convert you!!! Strange

all of this talk about bojangles chicken has got me in the mood for a food related topic, so here it is.. .
is there any food dishes or style of cooking that is unique to your region?.
growing up in dayton ohio, i have a love affair for "dayton style" pizza, this is pizza that is thin crust, cut in squares, and they use diced meats and veggies, along with provolone cheese.
Here in blighty, coffin dodgers regularly enjoy the well known delicacy of tripe and onions. yum...
Then theres the very popular black pudding and who can forgey out Northern neighbours with their haggis..

Cheers for the welcome Crumpet...
Oh and theres the one where I was closing the meeting in prayer one time and I did the whole wrapping up in "rap" I thought it was hilarious and so did the kids in the audience. The PS on the hand didnt and the week later did a local needs on worldy music and styles. Made me laugh though...

Struggled getting "Heaven knows I`m miserable now" in though LOL...
Is this a record?
Uncle Gravy..
the thread regarding how the ms and elders keeping up the facade while knowing its all wrong made me think of something.. this happened in the ministerial service meeting.
the ms started his part on the program but it was soon evident that he was not firing on all cylinders.
his speech was monotone, slurred even.
I remember when I was a MS, having the dubious privilge of closing the Thursday meeting in song and prayer. Don`t know what I was thinking, but I did it all in the form of a poem. The PS was none too impressed as I found out the week later when a talk was given by him about the correct way conduct oneself at the meetings. Still, it made me laugh
