i had one in my wallet and one hanging on my neck.. can anyone beat that?
fast forward to 2001 when fractions became a "conscience matter..." i remember shaking my head during that watchtower study...i destroyed my blood cards and asked my doctor to put me down as "no religion.
Ha, thanks Sargeant Pepper...now that I've exposed my belittling past, may I be a part of your Lonely Hearts Club Band?
Really though, this thread is like a nest in a tree of trust and understanding...we can say anything here. Buuuuut Ima gonna go ahead and laugh at GeneM's kindergarten pick-up attempt.

Good one, Kudra. My lowest moment was in a school as well. In Grade 8 band class I played the saxophone. For a year-end assignment we had to perform a piece of music of our choice, in front of the class. Of course, I referred to the greatest music masterpiece of all-time - The Songbook - and played "Make the Truth your Own". A moment that was deserving of many beatdowns from Nelson Muntz.
Kenny G ain't got shit on me.
one recent afternoon, me and a buddy were taking a trek around a nearby neighborhood and made our way past a delapidated house that had all the familiar symptoms of being haunted.
he suggested we check it out so, of course, we did.
it looked like it had been abandoned probably 30-40 years earlier but the previous owners had left behind a small coffee table.
Now if someone will just post a QualiSoup or TheraminTrees video on open-mindedness or the trouble with anecdotes, this thread will attain immortality.
Alright, I got this dammit. Nambo, it gets really good at the 0:50 mark...
When you walk in the door and everyone yells "Norm!" How great is that, you think...and ignore the fact you're not Norm.
You mean there is a gaol to being on here?! . . . Caedes
Size: That's the best example of a Freudian slip I've ever seen.
Good catch, Size...Caedes nailed it.
do any of you use medical marijuana?
i go to aa and there are a few who believe medical marijuana is an "outside issue" and they are ok with it.
i don't know... alcohol doesn't work for me but if it did, i would use it... i wish i could find a "new drug" that works lol.
Uncle Carl approves of this thread and most of the comments within.

before calling out "JEHOVAH, JEHOVAH, JEHOVAH" which is 50% more effective than calling it out twice.
And 60% of the time, it works every time.
please read this excerpt from the creator book by jehovah's witnesses:.
nothing can change this declared purpose of the creator, namely, that the whole earth should be turned into a paradise filled with happy humans living at peace with one another and with the animals.. .
okay, pretty simple right?
This little devil, the camel spider, would make a great pet to cozy up with in your Snuggie.

i realize i peddle carl sagan like christians peddle jesus but i think every one of us who has survived the watchtower, regardless of our current beliefs, should be able to appreciate this.
in the path to freedom (chapter from one of his books), sagan was discussing frederick (bailey) douglass's life in the early 19th century and his quest for literal freedom.
see if anything here sounds familiar:.

i was driving home the other evening pondering the past couple of turbulant years for me and my family.
i reflected back on my appointment as a ministerial servant and my attitude, beliefs and thinking at the time.
i thought about the subsequent misery that being a servant brings once the the glow wears off and people stop "commending you on your fine spiritual progress.
Good stuff Falcon. Having never been appointed I am not qualified to comment on this thread…but I will anyways. At one point I'd guess I was 30 hours in FS shy of levelling up from mic-handling lackey publisher to mic-handling lackey MS. But I never could apply myself long enough to get there. Besides, walking around in the heat with a tie noosed around your neck, knocking on doors like an idiot is a hard road.
Really, I was an underachieving christian. I eventually gave in to tail. Which brought me to observing said holy spirit from a different angle. Found myself in a dark and dank basement room with three men. This is where I learned the true nature of holy spirit, or rather its lack thereof. The magician loses his mystique when you get a look from backstage. This is what judicial committees are like. I realized these men had no facking clue what they were doing, let alone guided by a spirit, holy or otherwise. That was the loose thread that started to unravel it all.
Anyways, I'm thankful for never putting in the effort to achieve MS status. And for the valuable life lessons: underachieving brings rich dividends, tail is a helluva lot better than holy spirit, and when drinking beers the greatest invention ever seems to be a shelf near a urinal.
