  New Book - The Reluctant Prostate

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. humour

  hey everyone, i'm writing a new book.. it's the entirely fictional story about a character called "roy devons", an obese clown who was kicked out of clown college because he couldn't stop touching himself.

  he launches his own youtube channel where he tells the world how wrong and unfunny clowns really are.

  the world already knows this, and never really had much todo with clowns anyway, although some other ex-clowns felt like they needed to be reminded regularly of their past lives.. he hits upon the idea of asking for donations to support efforts to convince ex-clowns to get their prostates checked.

  I heard about this some time ago. I think it was in one of the yearbooks. It certainly calls out the premise that elders are appointed by Holy Spirit.

  question for former elders:.

  how much of your time was spent quelling gossip and rumors floating around.

  i'm not talking about csa type stuff, just regular insignficant stuff that people occupied their time over..

  This just goes to show that the jws are no different from the world. Gossip in the congregation reeks of office politics in the corporate world.

  What is your IQ? Does it Matter?

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. friends

  i had an aunt that had rheumatic fever as a child and only had an iq the high 70's.

  but, absolutely no one was able to bs her on an emotional level.

  she had an uncanny ability to see through people's bs.

  I’ve never been tested for IQ. I had reasonably good grades in school but as a good jw didn’t attend college. I’m kinda slow with social interactions but really smart with innovating unique processes and machinery. I was lucky enough to find an occupation that allows me to do well for myself financially. We are in the service industry and to succeed you have to provide good service. If you provide good service and offer value for your customers you can command your wages. To do this you have to actually give a shit about someone other than yourself which in today’s work culture is a rarity.

  Does IQ matter in my world? Why would I even care? Just keep doing what I’m doing and it should all work out in the end.

  I see post COVID as a new frontier. If we ever get there. People are waking up. Not just jws but everywhere people are waking up that they have been lied to by governments, religion and corporations.

  when the president is going somewhere to talk about an infrastructure bill, and wants support for ever more endless spending, some of which is for bridge reconstruction, having a bridge collapse on the very day and in the very place he's going just seems "too perfect", doesn't it?.

  But you might need to work overtime to pay for that house. That is what the governing body doesn’t like. How can you slave for them and make their life easy when you are working to make yours easier.

  Private military contractors have been out of work since the US pulled out of Afghanistan. Their unemployment benefits are about to run out and they need to get back to work

  Thanks Atlantis!

  I guess apostles and their friends got special privileges as well as the governing body.

  I thought supporting the war effort was a disfellowshipping offence.
