Sometimes it worked the other way. I remember Brother Nice-But-Dim doing his part for the Muppet Show (TMS) and speaking about burning braziers. Except he pronounced it burning brazieres.
Maybe he had a thing for hot ligerie.

Pronouncing things differently so they don't sound rude. Typical CULT persona. Political correctness?
by punkofnice ini noticed over the years how bros & sis(tm) would pronounce words/names differently or totally substitute them so as not to sound offensive.. egs:.
instead of 'bible aids' a bro(tm) said 'bible helps' thus avoiding aids disease!?!.
instead of sodom the bro(tm) pronounced it 'sow dom'.

"Millions now living will never die".
You want deception? How about that.
Millions then living are now dead.

A year ago we were enjoying the self-inflicted wound that was the "Summer Of Sparlock". YouTube postings, WTS frantically getting them taken down, dubbies in denial claiming it was fake, 4Chan putting the boot in, parody videos etc. It was fun, and it had the board buzzing.
This year doesn't have the same level of dubbish dumbassery. The convention releases work better than valium, and there's nothing to hold up as ridiculous. True, the July WT helps raise the BS quotient, but it's probably too convoluted for many dubs to understand all of it's implications, and it lacks the instant "grab factor" of the little purple plastic fella.
Basically, this year they're just trying to bore us into submission.

Oh the joys of the Colchester football stadium, like the Nuremberg rally done on the cheap. You get roasted in one stand, frozen in the other and a deep vein thrombosis from the luxurious plastic seats.

And a slightly opaqued badge holder rather than a perfectly clear one will cover a multitude of sins.
It would have been my convention next week, I'm almost tempted to infiltrate...
On second thoughts no, the insomnia is fine now.

You're spot on Splash, but I couldn't find a better picture of one anywhere. The colour and font are right though, so you could fake the rest especially if you've got an old one to copy from.

Hello Venetian, if you go here, http://harkess.com/badges.html , it'll give you a head start. A little tweaking with the Gimp or Photoshop, and you'll pass right under their radar.
Now you just need to practice your glassy-eyed stare and rictus smile to really blend in. Good luck, and don't forget the sickbags.

Off-topic: hand shaking
by Libelle inthis is totally unrelated to anything jw, but it's the only group i'm in online with such a mix of men and women, so i'm asking.
what's your experience with hand shaking?.
me, when i meet someone for the first time, i offer to shake their hand.

I've never been comfortable with hand shaking, to paraphrase Sheldon Cooper from The Big bang Theory it just seemed like "a lot of unneccesary touching". In the UK, or at least my part, it seems to have died out. The only place it seems to proliferate is at the Kingdom Hall, or amongst dubs at large. Handshaking may be the acceptable social convention at the KH, but it surprised me when I first went and made me recoil a bit (not the only thing, but the pattern was set early on). Subsequently I made sure I always had my hands full with bag, books, coat or whatever when I went in and so dodged the ritual.

Add me to the ailurophile list, I'm presently butler to seven little furry dictators. There's my three official cats, Augustus & Claudia the maine coons, and Nero the most evil black oriental you could imagine. Then there's the four refugees, who came to stay when a friend died and they needed somewhere to go, "only for a little while" but 16 months later they're still here. There's Morgana, a chocolate brown longhair, Max the siamese cross and Regan and Salem, black shorthairs. Do I qualify for a straitjacket now? Probably covered in cat hair, everything else is...
