another Michael Jackson joke... add yours (no accounting for good taste :P

by SnakesInTheTower in

so you heard that with all the surgeries michael jackson had over the years that he was probably 99% plastic?

after the autopsy is done, the body is to be shipped to the lego factory.

...yeah, they are going to melt him down into legos........ .

StoneWall

OK OK as of right now its been well over 72 hours since he was pronounced dead (72 hours/3 days is my customary

grieving period for people that are none related) so I feel I can post this joke my son told me.

After Farrah Fawcett died and went thru the pearly gates of heaven, Saint Peter approached her a few hours later and

said "Farrah after reviewing your history while on earth and seeing how well you treated others with love and compassion,

I have decided to grant you one wish." Farrah thought for a moment and then told Saint Peter that she wished for all the

childen of earth to feel safe. Saint Peter looked at Farrah and said, "your wish has been granted".

And immediately Michael Jackson fell over dead.

Act now!! The time left is reduced. Time is running out

i just heard a few commercials on t.v.

that made me flashback to how we were taught and trained in the org.. when i compare the two now there are so many similarities.

both of them seem nothing more than sales pitches.. to try and get people motivated to buy their products that some would normally not think twice about even.

When I compare the two now there are so many similarities. Both of them seem nothing more than sales pitches.

To try and get people motivated to buy their products that some would normally not think twice about even

purchasing many companies have realized to attach a sense of urgency to their product. With phrases such as:

for a limited time only, only a short time remaining, time is quickly running out, get it while you can, etc. they

have cashed in on peoples fears of missing out.

The one thing I've noticed is you can bet on them to increase the time perpetually by saying something like

due to overwhelming customer response we have decided to increase/extend the time period. This sounds so much

like what happened with the society as regards the end coming. It's close, very close,just around the corner,nearer

than you may think, act now while there is yet time, the time left is reduced etc.

Each time one of these campaigns was pushed the end result was the same as with these other companies:

more sales/sells, more sense of urgency, more gathering to get in line for the product/service that was only going to

be for a little while longer.

IS THIS TRUE IF YOU HAVE A VIRUS ON COMPUTER?

by badboy in

jw
friends

switching off a computer at the mains will get rid of the virus.

StoneWall

Don't ever fall for that fight fire with fire analogy.

Purposely downloading another virus in the hopes of it fighting with your older/other viruses and destroying them

does not work. The only way this works is if it destroys your whole system...and in that sense it did get rid of them.

I was just joking with a friend one day about this and told him to find the biggest baddest virus out there on the internet

to fight all those other viruses...needless to say he succeeded, and he was never able to use his computer again.

It overwrote his MBR (this was years ago).

So I never even jokingly tell people anymore to fight fire with fire in regards to computers, viruses versus other viruses.

He was wanting to get a newer computer anyhow so he forgave me and saw the humor in it later. LOL

What are some of the things that really hit you hard when you first started reading this forum? Or something that you

didn't know about? For me one of the bigggest things was finding out about Judge Rutherford moving into Beth Sarim

when the ancient worthy's (princes) didn't show up.

I had already heard of Beth Sarim but that was one detail that I hadn't heard about from the brothers before.

Then it went from there to looking deeper into the pyramidology and numerology that C.T.Russell used in calculating

dates. I was like oh crap. This isn't looking good for the argument about this being God's channel on earth.

Seems like the communication signals are getting crossed or some cross talk happening on them.

Anyways looking forward to hearing what was some of your first memories of looking on this site or others and getting

that Oh crap feeling.

All I want to know is why does st. Paul have a glass fish bowl on his head and why is he holding a book in codex form?

I thought they used scrolls back in his day!!!!!

WHY DOES UNDERSTANDING WOMEN CAUSE SUCH AN IMPACT??

by Mr. Majestic in

i bumped into this reaction (nearly called it a problem) when i was a jw.

being that single sisters were out of bounds to chat to (unless you were thinking of marrying them), i thought that it was a safe(er) option to chat to married sisters.

i reasoned that they would have been happy in their marriage so chatting to them wouldnt be such a problem.

StoneWall

What's so hard to understand?

Women are like a deck of cards, you got to know when to "hold them" and know when to "fold them"

Sometimes they want nothing more than for you to "hold them" in your embrace (which can be quite often)

Other times when the moments right, they want nothing more than you to "fold them"; over the bed,couch, lounge chair

table, desk, office furniture, log in the woods, etc. etc. (and usually this is not quite often enough for most guys) *

Should I Create A JW Alter Ego?

by AllTimeJeff in

jw
friends

(please read ground rules below).

i guess if some guesses are correct, a few jw apologists who post here are nothing more then ex jw's pretending to be a jw straw man, allowing those in the know to tee off on the official jw line.. i have no idea if thats true, and i doubt if anyone can say for certain.... fun to speculate i guess.. however, in that spirit, i would like to consider creating an alter ego, and am open to suggestions as to what to name my psuedo jw self.. for example, posting under another name, i am willing to totally believe that jw's preached about 1914, even before they were called jw's!.

i am totally willing to buy that beth sarim was built for the resurrection of noah, abraham, and others, and not for judge rutherfords winter retreat, where he drank himself into a prophetic stupor.. i am willing to defend 607 as the date of jerusalems destruction without any evidence at all.

StoneWall

Ummm as far as a name for your alter ego how about something like:

Renaldo

That has a sorta JW apologist ring to it
