can any of you guess the bottle and the cause of my embarrassment?.

Last year I took a bath in my dog's flea and tick shampoo thinking it was my bath gel.

I thought it smelled a bit funny, but I didn't realise it until I was drying off.

"You will live where you are told to live!"

by irondork in

one of our most dogmatic, authoritarian elders at the congregation i used to attend made this comment.. .

the wts has beat the drum of absolute authority so long and hard that the idea of free will, or even the notion of a god who might take in to consideration the wants, likes, and desires of his own people has been strangled out of the jw psychology.. .

in one of his talks, brother that's final informed the congregation that it is pointless for us to engage in speculation about how our lives will be in the new system.

I can just see the "official letter from Jehovah."

Dear Brother and Sister Dubbie:

Jehovah has blessed you with an assignment where you will be of the most help.

Please report to the Australian outback as soon as possible. If you need to reach

the GB, please write to them in Hawaii, where they're now serving with Jehovah's blessing

as well... :)

A co-worker over a chair. I switched the chair in one of the courtrooms that didn't suit her (rather larger)

posterior and that was it. She thew a fit and I just mentioned how sophmoric the whole thing was.

The next day she was standing at my door telling me that I was making her look bad, etc., so I got

up and told her that she didn't need me for that job and I that I had enough of her bleating on and

shut the door in her face. She still continued to talk so I switched on my fan.

Any more fond (not so) DC memories?

by outsmartthesystem in

my oldest child was barely 4 months old and not an easy baby.

she cried all the time....and getting her to sleep during the day was a pain.....especially in a facility that was 80 degrees with a/c.

on sunday afternoon of the dc....knowing we had a two hour drive home (she also didn't sleep in the car well).....i went to an "off limits" area with her.

The toilets always smelled bad...I just remember how sick I used to feel when

my mother hauled me in there to wee.

Did you used to be an assembly food rapist?

by yourmomma in

i confess proudly that i was one of the biggest assembly food rapists when it switched to the donation arrangement.

in fact, i would roll up to the counter with a fake list and pretend i was getting food for a huge family, lol.

"uh, yes, hello sister, what a fine morning program that was, may i please have 6 roast beef sandwhiches, 6 chocolate puddings, 6 apple danishes, 6 sodas....etc" and i would eat throughout the entire fking program, as it was so boring there was nothing else to do.

diana netherton

I seem to remember my parents having to get some raffle ticket looking

things to get that nasty food. I can't eat pudding or cheese danishes

to this day. UGH

or so says ronald weinland;.

may 27, 2012april 29, 2012. as readers of this site know, may 27, 2012, is the time that i have stated as being the date jesus christ will return as king of kings over all government on this earth.

for such an event to come to pass, the trumpets of revelation must all sound, the united states and dollar collapse, the ten nations of europe arise to fulfill the final revival of the holy roman empire, and russia with china must unite against europe in wwiii.. .... http://www.ronaldweinland.com/.

If that were true, I'd eat anything I wanted for a few days and stay drunk on wine.

I suppose he ought to talk to Harold Camping...

If you knew that a murder was going to take place......

by Sour Grapes in

if you knew that a murder would take place and did.

nothing to stop it would you share some responsibility?.

if you knew that your neighbor was going to be robbed.

diana netherton

God's done nothing to stop murders in the Bible, if you believe that. In fact,

he orders quite a number of hits himself where he takes out scores of innocent

people and then proceeds to tell humans that murder is wrong. But, I guess,

after all he IS God and he can jolly well do what he pleases.
