  adios, amigos!.

  the bees leave southern california at o'dark-hundred in the morning for ten days in the great state of florida (bts territory!).

  lax to orlando, then moving towards tampa for mr bee's golf tournament, on to a place called rotonda (yup - a development shaped like a rotunda) for a few days, golf lessons for me, then north for a couple of nights with friends in eustis.

  Changing plans...

  fading,.

  ive been going over it so many times in my mind.

  it seemed like a great idea before but things have changed, i have changed.. the more i learn and the more awake i become, the more i feel like fading is becoming less and less of an option.. the only reason i wanted to fade was to keep communication with my family, mainly my parents, but i've come to realize that they would shun me either way.

  Lol! Can't believe you did that during the meeting!!!

  Well, fading works well when you move far from your current congregation. I faded successfully because of just that. But if you're gonna stay in the area, I recommend DA. I was lucky that my wife was all for it. She faded with me and my parents don't shun us. Some of my friends do, but whatever...I can always make new friends. My wife's mother shunned her at first but is recently starting to talk to her again because her dad spoke with her mom and convinced her it's not right to shun a daughter for her decisions.

  I realized I put this in the wrong section the first time....It belongs in the humor section. It's pretty funny. Just read every letter in order.

  This is the outcome of so many different people from different countries with different views, beliefs, culture, and religion forced to work together in the melting pot of USA.

  Company Memo
  FROM: Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director
  TO: All Employees
  DATe December 1, 2011
  RE: Gala Christmas Party
  
  I'm happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place on December 23rd, starting at noon in the private function room at the Galt House.
  
  There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks! We'll have a small band playing traditional carols... feel free to sing along. And don't be surprised if our CEO shows up dressed as Santa Claus!
  
  A Christmas tree will be lit at 1:00 PM. Exchanges of gifts among employees can be done at that time; however, no gift should be over $10.00 to make the giving of gifts easy for everyone's pockets.
  
  This gathering is only for employees!
  
  Our CEO will make a special announcement at that time!
  
  Merry Christmas to you and your family,
  Patty

  RE: Gala Holiday Party
  
  In no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees. We recognize that Hanukkah is an important holiday, which often coincides with Christmas, though unfortunately not this year.
  
  However, from now on, we're calling it our "Holiday Party." The same policy applies to any other employees who are not Christians and to those still celebrating Reconciliation Day.
  
  There will be no Christmas tree and no Christmas carols will be sung.
  
  We will have other types of music for your enjoyment.
  
  Happy now?
  
  Happy Holidays to you and your family,
  Patty

  RE: Holiday Party
  
  Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table, you didn't sign your name..
  
  I'm happy to accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that reads, "AA Only", you wouldn't be anonymous anymore. How am I supposed to handle this?
  
  Somebody?
  
  And sorry, but forget about the gift exchange, no gifts are allowed since the union members feel that $10.00 is too much money and the executives believe $10.00 is a little chintzy.
  
  REMEMBER: NO GIFTS EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED.

  RE: Generic Holiday Party
  
  What a diverse group we are! I had no idea that December 20th begins the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and drinking during daylight hours.
  
  There goes the party! Seriously, we can appreciate how a luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees' beliefs. Perhaps the Grill House can hold off on serving your meal until the end of the party or else package everything for you to take it home in little foil doggy baggy. Will that work?
  
  Meanwhile, I've arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit farthest from the dessert buffet, and pregnant women will get the table closest to the restrooms.
  
  Gays are allowed to sit with each other. Lesbians do not have to sit with Gay men, each group will have their own table.
  
  Yes, there will be flower arrangement for the Gay men's table.
  To the person asking permission to cross dress, the Grill House asks that no cross-dressing be allowed, apparently because of concerns about confusion in the restrooms. Sorry.
  
  We will have booster seats for short people.
  Low-fat food will be available for those on a diet.
  
  I am sorry to report that we cannot control the amount of salt used in the food .. The Grill House suggests that people with high blood pressure taste a bite first.
  
  There will be fresh "low sugar" fruits as dessert for diabetics, but the restaurant cannot supply "no sugar" desserts. Sorry!
  
  Did I miss anything?!?!?

  RE: The F*%^ing Holiday Party
  
  I've had it with you vegetarian pricks!!! We're going to keep this party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you can sit quietly at the table furthest from the "grill of death," as you so quaintly put it, and you'll get your f*%^ing salad bar, including organic tomatoes.
  
  But you know, tomatoes have feelings, too. They scream when you slice them. I've heard them scream. I'm hearing them scream right NOW!
  
  The rest of you f*%^ing wierdos can kiss my *ss. I hope you all have a rotten holiday!
  
  Drive drunk and die,

  RE: Patty Lewis and Holiday Party
  
  I'm sure I speak for all of us in wishing Patty Lewis a speedy recovery from her recent nervous breakdown and I'll continue to forward your cards to her at the asylum.
  
  In the meantime, management has decided to cancel our Holiday Party and give everyone the afternoon of the 23rd off with full pay.
  
  Happy Whatever!

  I am amazed at the ignorance............

  i read with great interest the evil spirits thread, amazed at the ignorance on this forum concerning the occult.. if you do not believe in the spirit world, you are certainly akin to toothless hillbillies.

  good for moonshine making, cousin marrying and not much else.. both the usa and the russians continue to pursue the occult, following in the foorsteps of nazi germany.

  they are not ignorant people, such as yourselves.. hopefully, you non-believers will slowly breed yourselves out of the population, since you are the ones holding back progress, with your precious "science" which is really bullshit in disguise.. so tell me, what separates you "intellectuals" from those so called ancient ignorants?

  Another Family Torn Apart By The JW'S Shunning Rule !

  2. family

  this example is off another site but i think the amount of real jw's who visit jwn may take something from this example and think what the hell am i doing in a religion that treats family like this !

  here it is.. it has a few bad words in it though so if you don't like f's don't read !.

  they ruined my relationship with my family; i grow up being a jehovah witness when i was 5y/o.

  no more kool aid, it's not hairyhegoat's story. He got it from another site...but yeah man, that situation is screwed up! I wish I could pass these experiences to my parents, but if I do, they will ask me of the origins of this experience. If I tell them I got it off the internet, they won't even bother to read it.

  Let's see who can come up with the most "outlandish" END DATE calculation/speculation/prediction/prophecy

  by StoneWall in

  2. friends

  here is mine.. if you start with the pivotal date of 1000 c.e.

  and add 1914c.e.

  (because of jw's), then add 2012 (because of mayan calendar) you come to the date of 4926 c.e.. but bear with me just a bit cause this is not the "end" as of yet because we still have to factor in the mileage between miami and tampa.
