  When you Go to Bethel, You Sign Over Your Dead Body.

  by new boy in

  2. friends

  this is in response to the thread about the supposed suicide of a bethelite in 1995.. when i went to bethel i and everyone else, signed a form stating that "if we died while at bethel the wathtower bible and tract society,had the right to keep our body.".

  yes, we thought it strange at the time but as a twenty years old you didn't think much about stuff like that.

  besides we were never going to die anyway.

  OUTLAW Is that photo shopped, I mean do they wear badges door to door now and is that shi**y grin on the guy for real at the door? I have been out of the loop so long I don't know, but i don't think you would hold a Bible like that at the door. Really funny though!

  How do you feel about the expression "The Truth"?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  it's amazing how the expression "the truth" has become such an ingrained term used by witnesses.. "we have 'the truth'".

  "is he 'in the truth'?".

  most here have found out so many facts about the organisation, and felt the effects of being "gut-punched" as we realised these facts.. so how do you feel about the expression "the truth" now?.

  Now that I have been out for 30 years it sounds unbelievably cultish, as does calling someone brother or sister. I never use that expression anymore. Now I say "Is he a dub?" Got that from this site, JDubs!

  Favourite Comedy Quotes

  i wanted to post a serious, profound quote in stillin's thread but my mind went blank and i'm pretty crap with serious quotes anyway, so i put a jokey quote from the red dwarf computer holly: .

  it's better to have loved and lost than to have listened to an album by olivia newton-john.. when a bemused lister asks why, holly replies "because anything's better than listening to an album by olivia newton-john!".

  this got me thinking, what are everyone's favourite comedy quotes?.

  Never, no way have I ever been a Yankees baseball fan, but the late Yogi Berra came up with some really funny Berra-isms. My favorites:

  (1) When you come to a fork in the road, take it. (2)You can observe a lot by just watching. (3) No one goes there nowadays, it's too crowded. (4) Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours. And maybe this one applies best to the JWs: We've made too many wrong mistakes!

  out at the mall with mrs. otwo, she sees a shirt on the rack that was marked down from $25 to just $4.

  she holds it up and says, "should i buy this as a workout shirt?".

  i tell her "no, because as soon as you figure out what it means, you won't wear it anymore.

  That's hilarious! Hope she bought it and wears it proudly!😀 Was it red or green, maybe that would have been a clue. If she Googled fa la la it would have told her right off it was part of the lyrics of a popular Christmas song. Maybe she can wear it when she cleans the KH!

  my new year resolution is to invest more of my time with my family and friends.

  also, as i approach retirement ( i am 50), i need to make sure there's enough to keep me and my wife going beyond our eighties.

  i want to thank all of you because my time here, posting and reading, have been a great learning experience.

  I don't know where you are, but if you are in the US, you are nowhere near the age of retirement at 50.

  What did you have for Christmas dinner?

  by GrreatTeacher in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my inlaws are polish, though my husband is a 3rd generation american, but the food traditions have stuck around.. we have christmas eve dinner starting with red beet soup with sour cream, pierogies filled with mashed potatoes or saurkraut, ham, polish sausage sliced and cooked with saurkraut, turkey (that part is american), krischickies (likely spelled wrong) which are crispy pastries dipped in powdered sugar, and apple pie (also american.).

  there are goodnatured threats toward bad children who may need to get their dupa busted (butt spanked) and therefore santa will bring figismachen.

  i also love golabkis (ground beef and rice wrapped in cabbage leaves), but these were not served this time.

  OMG Outlaw! I love, love, love Mr. Bean. I was in a store the other day where all the Christmas stuff was on sale. They had a really cute little tree that was pre-lit, but was not plugged in, sooooooooooooo I unplugged another display so I could plug the little tree in to see how it looked lit up. Immediately it came to mind one of my favorite Mr. Bean scenes, the Christmas episode where he was at the big department store and pulled a plug to test a string of lights and the whole outside of the store went dark!!! LMAO!!

  Anyway, I had a typical, awful Christmas dinner at my husbands family, they are terrible cooks. We had dry ham and burned on the bottom cookies while everyone raved how delicious everything was. I am 50% Romanian-Hungarian and my mom learned to cook to suit my dad which meant flavor, paprika, garlic, stuffed cabbage, poppyseed rolls, etc, all the things hubby's family turn their noses up at. I usually take the rolls or jello salad or something to a family dinner cause no one will eat GOOD food that I make. How the heck do you dry out a delicious spiral sliced honey baked ham? My sister in laws could dry out Niagara Falls!!!

  Maybe your astute little ones should ask daddy if Jehovah is happy when daddy is inebriated! Good for you for giving your children a semblance of normalcy.

  Last week my daughter took me to see Peter Noone (of Herman's Hermits fame, from the 60's British Invasion). He was my favorite. I felt like I was a teenager again! She is 29 and loves the music from my generation! He still looks and sounds great!!
