I like listening to Southern criminals. They "yes sir. no sir" and are very polite violent people.
UK criminals too. They're like, "Cheery O! Wot's in your waulett Mowtha Fowker!" "Oi, Oi!!" "I prafur a spot a tea ova a fourty unce a beer hey!"

Spoof the Watchtower Contest?
by Ding inwe have seen time and again how the gb comes up with a strange doctrine (such as not celebrating birthdays) by citing something in the bible (the beheading of john the baptist) and then claiming that the "connection" makes their teaching "biblical.".
this got me thinking about how easy and fun it might be to create any "bible teaching" by this type of specious reasoning.. i thought it might be fun to have a jwn contest to see who can come up with the most watchtower-sounding rationale for a screwy doctrine of their own creation.. in another thread, i wrote a short satire on how the gb could come up with a "biblical reason" for preventing jws from going bowling by noting that 10 is an important bible number and then saying that knocking down 10 pins symbolizes breaking each of the ten commandments.. if i had wanted to expand that nonsense into a watchtower-style article, i would have gone on to explain the importance of the ten commandments and then spend several paragraphs denouncing all the evils of lawlessness, culminating with paul's warning about the "man of lawlessness" in 2 thessalonians 2:3. at the end of this exercise, i would have readers worked into a frenzy about the evils of bowling.. does anyone doubt that if the wts actually did this, jws would immediately stop bowling and start looking down on worldlies who do it?.
can't you just imagine a watchtower study where jws dutifully answer questions explaining why bowling is so displeasing to god?.

This is a classic example of shooting blanks when it comes to ideas. It just shows how far removed from Christ they really are. Wow, for a second I thought this was a humor thread of April Fool's Day proportions. But, its true. Buncha Homer Simpsons running this organization.

Wow, you described me perfectly. The bad thing is I take all of that as a compliment. I guess I'm a pretty ok guy by northerner standards.

You sure you're Black???!!!
LOL, I'm up north Syl, we ain't eating pork tails up here. I don't mess with chitlins, pig's feet, none of that stuff. With the exception of ribs, bacon, ham, and a roast, I don't mess with swine.

I'm starving right now!! I'm going to lunch in a couple minutes, but I'm hungry. I gotta can of soup, but thats not going to cut it. I'm gonna take a breeze through town and see what I can see. I want some bbq ribs right now, fried shrimp, or fried wings.
OMG Syl, Sweet Potato Pie, ohhh what I wouldn't give for a homemade one. My dad does them occasionally in these huge baking containters, ya know the kind you'd put baked macoroni and cheese in. He'll do two of them, and give one to me, and one for him. I'd feed off of it for like two days. Eating pie for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Pork Tails? What is that?

Did you play tackle football as a good little JW?
by JRK inin my town we did.
each congregation had its own "pick up" team.
we would get together and play on a chosen sunday after the meetings.

Yes, played tackle football, got a screw in my finger holding my tendon in place to prove it! Someone always got injured when we played, usually I was the injurer not the injuree, except that one time...
Basketball was worse though, we would rent a GYM every Sunday night and have about 6 congregations participate. About 50 people were there on average. Elders, MS's were there too, they were the worse offenders! I've seen more elders and MS's in fist fights (no shit) than anyone else. The CO came through one year and shut it down. After he left it started back up again and the fights resumed.
It's crazy right!?!?? So truthful!!! I've never seen elders and servants in fights, but as far as being competative is concerned, definately they were the worst. If an elder or servant wasn't playing physical, then their teenage sons were. I think Momma-Tossed-Me has a point about pent up energy and frustration within JWs, particulary males. There's something in us as males, I guess testosterone, that makes us raw. We need to occasionally destroy something, shoot something as evidenced by the defense rounds thread, yell at something, give our wives the goods in the rawest most aggressive of ways, and I don't mean the groceries. Even at the meeting this week, I'm sitting there and agitated because I'm tired of sitting. Been sitting all day, and I'm ready to cut loose. We need sports.

Another Bad Witness - Elder School on Christmas Day?
by LostGeneration inhad a brief conversation with by jw father a few days ago, unfortunately still an uber witness and as a cboe he has nothing else in his life.. he brought out that he was getting ready for the elders school.
not sure if he was bragging or wanted sympathy for having to go.
lol.. i didn't press him on the details, though i wanted to ask if they would be covering all 7 chapters in the new manual on how to df people.

So I guess the arrogance of the WT pisses of the elders as saving money is more important than people's time. And the ignorance of the WT will come through as "worldly" people are put off seeing the upcoming cult fest.
This right here, this describes my personal feelings, and I'm 100% sure the feelings of many other elders who wouldn't dare speak it to another elder. Those rotton, filthy, dispicable men amongst the higher ups in this organization are so arrogant and haughty, and take for granted that people work for a living and have families and responsibilities. I look forward to my days off, and the last thing I want to do is spend two days going over bureaucratic nonsense. The only thing I'm really looking foward to is clarification on holidays and traditions, as it was really vague in the new Flock book. It left me under the impression that they're backing off a little bit on holidays such as Thanksgiving, although I could very well be looking too far into it. I'm also curious to see how they're going to relay increased emphasis on the no-blood policy, and the no-higher education policy. Plus I have a feeling there will be a couple other gems I'll need to keep an ear open for. I might tape it, I'm considering the thought.
