There has to be literally hundreds more of these stories from around the globe!!! How about our international folks? Any stories from overseas in Europe, Australia, any of the islands, etc.? It'd be fun to see how many of them "match up" with those we heard our entire lives in the US!

JWs: An Aversion to ``Conversion?"
by Room 215 inthis is particularly addressed to those of you long-timers.
it seems that the society has always deliberately avoided the use of the word `conversion"" and ``convert(s)'' in its literature.
yet it's clearly a scriptural term and would seem to fit their aggressive prosyletizing mentality quite well.. any ideas what it is that they find objectionable?

Ooooh! Ooooh! I have another one!!! : )
I DID at one time believe this doozy: Someone (somewhere!) was going to a clairvoiant (sp?) to contact a deceased relative or something. This person was turned away by the spirit creatures (devil?!) by them saying not to bother them right now... they were too busy getting ready for Armaggedon. (all right now, let's hear a collective "oooh, aaahhh")
Yup! This person got the ol' "don't call us, we'll call you" line! HA!

Did anyone ever hear the one about a lady that named her ferocious dog Jehovah? When witnesses went calling at her home, she yelled to Jehovah (the dog) to "kill"! The dog turned on her and killed her instead of the witnesses? Very nice.
I think an urban legend book would be FABULOUS!!!!! There are a few great writers on this site... what say ye??? : )

Added thought: It's a possibility that when he starts making toned-down music, his audience (hence cash flow) will dry up and he'll bag the JW deal and get back to where he belongs! His earlier albums are fantastic! (IF you like his style, that is).

Hey Tera! I am IN LOVE with Prince, too! I saw Purple Rain about 15 times!!! (The guy at the ticket counter thought I was wierd!!!) : )
I know a few "brothers" on the fringes of the music biz and they definitely confirm that he's re-married to a JW and baptized. He was divorced from his first wife a while back after their infant son died. I always wanted to meet him!!! I tell people he appeals to my "dark" side :) (evil grin)... NOW what am I gonna do?!?!?!? I hope his dark side is only in hiding for awhile!!! (Darn that Larry Graham!!!) Jbean
