jw.org madness

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

more and more jw.org special campain pictures made by the r&f flush over the internet.. it's crazy how this jw.org madness becomes a phallus inside the witness world.. observing it from some distance, it is clear: jw.org is the central theme of the current witness beliefs.

every step they make, is for promoting jw.org.

when they speak, they only speak about jw.org.

I understand your point prologos, but don't dis us 1975ers......because 'one line mention' it wasn't.

We were misled & manipulated right up to & beyond the non event.

Do you know your neighbors? Is it just me?

by neverendingjourney in

i'm a single hispanic guy in my mid 30s living by myself in suburban america.

i own a home in the kind of neighborhood where you have to get hoa permission to do just about anything, including chopping down a tree.

i'm a white collar worker and lead a pretty boring life.

That dog is so cute!

My immediate neighbours are friendly but not in your face.

I understand where you are coming from Apognophos. As a singleton living alone in my house I feel I'm the object of certain suspicions.........you know man on his own, wonder what his 'inclinations' are.

And they'd be rght

If you can get yourself a dog to walk, people are much friendlier & start talking. Women feel less threatened by a single man when you have dog with you .....make sure it's not one on the dangerous breed list though as then everyone will cross to the other side of the road when they see you coming!

"a 9-year-old girl learning to fire a submachine gun accidentally killed her instructor at a shooting range when the weapon recoiled over her shoulder, according to arizona authorities.

another reason to go against those arguing that young children should be taught how to use guns.

Sept 1 service meeting mystery revealed

by Saltheart Foamfollower in

the letter has appeared at last - just for uk.

it is a money grab for the new bethel which has been approved.

there is a video to be shown - just watched it - brief summary of uk bethels, why current one is too small, why we need money to build a new one.

Heartofaboy

Weren't they asking for money a few weeks ago?

Something about the loans from the borg being 'cancelled' but the sheeples have to pledge to keep paying the same amount forever more to the WBTS to use the Kingdum Hall paid with donations & built with free labour?

Surely ever the most uber dubbie is gonna start squealing.

Sorry guys the link doesn't work.

I'll try pasting just a little of the info.

when and how did the first Mexican wave start?

Gerard O'brien, Dunedin New Zealand

We first saw them during the 1986 World Cup. It was held in Mexico (hence the name given to the wave), and by all accounts these had been a regular event at Mexican football matches for years before.
John Eccleston, Liverpool UK

It's now known as the Mexican Wave because it was first seen internationally at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico City. It appeared at American football games for a few years before that. It first appeared at a University of Washington Homecoming Game in 1981, led by UW Husky "Yell Leader" Rob Weller and UW Marching Band director Bill Bissell.
Scott McKinstry, Seattle USA

Didn't it start during the Mexican world cup in 1986, hence the name?
Duncan, London UK

I think Duncan might be right. As to why it started, I think someone spilt hot enchilladas on their lap during a boring match, and the rest is history.
Nick Simmons, Cardiff UK

The short answer to that "answer" is - no, it didn't start in Mexico. Whatever the rather witty coffee add (and the title) might suggest I attended a baseball game in Boston 1984 and we all partook in a "??" wave. Two years before the famed world cup. I'm afraid I don't know where it really did come from.
Donal Owens , Luxembourg Luxembourg

The first answer is correct, hence the name. The term has now been added to the Dictionary as 'Mexican Wave'.
I McGirr, Glasgow

Actually I think the phenomenon started during the LA Olympics, but was only called the Mexican Wave during the 1986 World Cup.
Keith Wood, Perth Australia

When the first Mexican left home of course!
paul, Derby UK

It was in existence before the 1986 world cup, although not common in europe. American football coverage on channel4 featured waves several years before '86. they were known as "waves", not mexican waves.
Ceri, Glasgow Scotland

The Mexican Wave is called that as it did indeed first become popular in Europe after the '86 Mexico World Cup. It is, however, older than that, and its origin in dispute. US College football team the Washington Huskies claim to have invented it on October 31, 1981, while "Krazy" George Henderson claims to have started it at an Oakland vs. New York baseball game on the 15th of that month. Either way, by 1982 it was gaining popularity in the US, and by 86 it had clearly reached Mexico.
Gaz Owen, Crewe UK

I think it's been going on in the States since well before Mexico 86, that was just the first time it was seen by a wider audience. If you ever listen to American sports commentators they always just call it 'the wave'.
James Geldart, London UK

The americans have been doing something similar for years, but the first time i saw it was during World Cup '86. ps/ Gerard, did you go to St.Edmunds school, Dunedin around 1976-79, as i remenber a GOB from there.
Steve Dickenson, Billingham England

For some hard proof that the Mexican wave predates the Mexico World cup of 1986 just rent a copy of Teen Wolf. During the basketball game at the end of the movie you will see the 'kids' in the hall performing a 'Mexican' wave. The movie was released in 1985 which means it was probably shot in 1984. The movie also proves what an acting talent Mr Fox was.
