  virgin: the world's best passenger complaint letter?here we reproduce a complaint letter sent to sir richard branson, which is currently being emailed globally and is considered by many to be the world's funniest passenger complaint letter.dear mr branson.

  ref: mumbai to heathrow 7th december 2008. i love the virgin brand, i really do which is why i continue to use it despite a series of unfortunate incidents over the last few years.

  this latest incident takes the biscuit.. ironically, by the end of the flight i would have gladly paid over a thousand rupees for a single biscuit following the culinary journey of hell i was subjected to at thehands of your corporation.. look at this richard.

  russia: jehovah's witnesses treated as "terrorists" .

  They’re chasing the wrong ppl. The rank and file Russian JW is looking for an answer to the harsh winters and bleak conditions of post-Communist Russia.

  The real culprits are the leaders living in luxury in Brooklyn, USA, who don’t care about their Russian “brothers”.

  Why is everything always denigrated into a black vs white issue?????
  
  
  What struck me was that all his gfs were the same type, like his wife.

  Not to mention THE NUMBER OF THEM!!!!

  If it turned out he had 1 or 2, even 3, gfs, it wouldn’t have been the same. But 18 (or more???) – that’s just being greedy.

  PS. Remember, Tiger isn’t just black, he’s half Asian. Would the controversy be the same if they’d all been Asians?

  surprised me that he actually followed up on his word and called .

  it will be strange after four yrs.

  to have them in our house .my husband was not happy to hear it will be two brothers coming over, because he really does not want to feel we are being counseled .

  The benefit of them meeting you at your house is that you can terminate the meeting at any time.

  Remember, the elders only have the power that you give them. Deny them having any power over you, and they are nothing more than mere men.

  Using funerals to recruit members

  i heard a somewhat amusing story from a co-worker over lunch.

  he said he was at a funeral for a jw relative, and they had a registry for guests to sign.

  his wife signed the registry, and included their home address.

  I agree with CC about Protestant funerals. An aunt died several years ago, who had been a JW convert but left but stayed interested in the Bible. Her funeral service was held at a Protestant church, and several of her favorite scriptures were read, as well as some of her family getting up and talking about her as a person. Although I’m now agnostic, the service was very comforting and I actually learnt a few things about her as a person!

  And chasing up potential recruits from those who attended the JW’s funeral is not cool. Very tacky.

  My life on the Treadmill

  by cult classic in

  i was born in 1970 to third generation jehovah's witnesses.

  like all those born in, i was brought up without hope or guidance for a life in this world.

  instead of being taught to be self sufficient and confident, i was trained to obey my parents without question (ephesians 6:1).

  Thanks for sharing your story, as a born-in I could relate to a lot of what you said.

  Congrats on getting out of the Borg.
