aha! Now it makes sense.
What is it with these 'mercans anyway?? Isn't one antiquated system of measurement enough? And what's up with spelling litre liter? lol
SpK - You're so sweet. We'll definitely have to plan a visit soon. :)

Special K - yup! pretty sure I remember your hubby... :) All the little girls had a crush on him! haha
LT - help me out here....if a gallon contains 4.55 litres (do we all agree on that?), then how can 1.57 US Dollars / Litre translate to 5.94 US Dollars / US gallon? Would it not be $7.14 USD per gallon? (truly obscene, btw!)

It is gross...but I get a different amount than you SK... Using a 30% exchange rate, I calculate it at $3.25 USD per gallon. ??
It's all John Hamm's fault!

Three Canadian blondes died and found themselves standing before St.Peter. He told them that before they could enter the Kingdom, they had to tell him what Easter represented. The first blonde said, "Easter is a holiday where they have a big feast and we give thanks and eat turkey." St. Peter said, "Noooooo," and he banished her to Hell. The second blonde said, "Easter is when we celebrate Jesus' birth and exchange gifts." St. Peter said, "Noooooo," and he banished her to Hell. The third blonde said she knew what Easter was, and St. Peter said, "So, tell me." She said, "Easter is a Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish festival of Passover. Jesus was having Passover feast with His disciples when He was betrayed by Judas, and the Romans arrested Him. The Romans hung Him on the cross and eventually He died. Then they buried Him in a tomb behind a very large boulder ... " St. Peter said, "Very good." Then the blonde continued, "Now, every year they roll away the boulder and Jesus comes out, ... If he sees his shadow, ... we have six more weeks of hockey."

My Mom verified the UN Scandal
by Nosferatu ini went to my parents' place for supper yesterday.
as usual, i got on the subject of the society.
my mother told me that she talked to a friend of hers about the un thing, and her friend knew about it.

Hi Purple...good to meet you. :)
Briefly, (and perhaps not totally accurately!), the UN scandal is that in 1991, the Watchtower applied to the UN to become associated with it as one of its NGOs (Non-Governmental Organization). In doing so, the Tower had to agree to support the UN's charter and publish material regarding UN efforts in humanitarian causes (i.e. help to publicize the UN's good works). An odd thing for God's mouthpiece on earth to do...join up with the Image of the Beast! (or is the UN the Beast itself...or is that the USA??....well, you can see that I haven't studied the Watchtower in awhile! lol) Anyhoo, when the whole thing was brought to light via some super fine apostate(s) ;) using the Internet, the Watchtower withdrew its association with the UN, claiming that when they applied for NGO status, there was no requirement to agree to support the UN's charter ...big lie, of course.
Most rank and file jws still have no idea about this hypocritical, duplicitous action on the part of Mother.
Edited to add that I remember visiting my mom some five years or so ago and picking up an Awake magazine to browse through while waiting for her to get ready so we could go out. I thought...geez...same old crap, different day...talking about the UN...I read a little closer and realized that all over the featured articles were mentions of how the UN has helped this many people this year, saved this many from starvation, set up this many hospitals, etc.... I found this really, really surprising! I thought...hmmm...they must be softening their position on the UN for some reason...I was actually going to mention it to my mom, but I got distracted and later forgot all about it...until I read all about the UN scandal a few years later. Those Awake articles all made sense then.

What did you day dream about at assemblies?
by lastcall inas a kid i would try to pay attention, but i just couldn't hang in there.
if i didn't day dream i was going to go insane.. i used to create scenarios in my mind that i was a jw super hero.
i had a special costume that was partially made of "flubber" that would allow me to bounce all over the auditorium.

My first thought when I read the title of this thread was: being a superhero(ine). Strange, but true....I used to dream that something terrible happened and I was the only one who could save everyone. *shrug*
My other daydreams involved all the cute jw boys that I might someday snog. :)
