I'd buy anything you mentioned, but the bethel-shaped "new light" lamp is my favorite.
Hilarious post!

Ideas for merchandise
by Simon ini think i mentioned this some time ago but never had time to do anything about it.
i'm thinking of offering merchandise on the site for a bit of fun and also to help with the site expenses (although i don't expect it to generate a huge amount).
i think catchy logo's and phrases are the best.

LDH,
If they were women, I'd say there's a good chance they were coming back (the ones I knew were really out to 'help' people). Young guys? If they're anything like me and my friends were, they're just jackasses out to collect a couple service hours.
Bodhivista,
I was just thinking that I wouldn't think of Newsweek as apostate. You could probably have taken it out at the door and I wouldn't have run (like I would have if you had pulled out, say, a Ray Franz book!). I think that it's a great way to 'witness' to witnesses that come to my door.

Gilead Couples - *gag*
by joeshmoe ini was just thinking about the snoozefest i used to go through with each new gilead class.
the introductions were the worst!
im not sure you get the same feel from the doctored up articles in the wt, but listening to the couples was just maddening.. there was always at least 3 or 4 couples that would say the exact same thing: well, i wanted to be a missionary but couldnt go without a partner and my husband/wife was in the same predicament so we got married and here we are.

OK, these people dont need a marriage license; they need a business contract. Just crazy!
I wonder if this is an outcropping of how the JWs treat faith, taking out the heart and passion of it and replacing it with structure and rules. I guess they figure if thats how it is with faith, why not love?
There cant be anything healthy about that.

Would you rather have more time or more cash?
by Leander init seems like unless you're incredibly wealthy or lucky that its impossible to have both at the same time, especially if you're a working stiff.
right now between my wife and i we make a fairly decent living, however we don't have a lot of time to do things together (or alone) until the weekend comes around.
and we all know how short weekends can be, not to mention if a lot of errands need to be done that can eat up your time fairly quick.

I waste both, but feel less guilty about the money than the time. So I'll take more money to waste!!

Weird??
by Undecided inhi folks,.
this is kind of strange, everyday i find a penny, on a parking lot, floor of a store, driveway, or whatever.
yesterday i hadn't found any money, i didn't think about it until i started to get in bed.

Ken,
Finding pennies was pretty much the only thing that made service bearable for the last few months as a Wit. Myself and two other brothers usually had a competition to see who would find the penny first that morning. I didn't win most mornings, but at least it distracted me! We tried to include a couple of the pioneer sisters, but they only frowned and shook their heads. Oh well.
P.S. I not sure they ever brought me luck, but then again, I'm pretty sure I soon spent them.

I'll throw my thanks in the ring as well deddaisy!!
Dungbeetle - I believe you are correct, but the author also makes note of the constanting changing theology of the JW's. Who can keep up with it all?!
