And as the late, talented, comical song writer and singer Roger Miller said, "You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd". Your post made me think of that song. Thanks, now I have that song in my head and I am showing my age.

Funny encounter at work
by respectful_observer ini just had a meeting with a client and we both paused to watch a group outside of the conference room present a cake to a group of colleagues.
i made the comment that it seemed to be a pretty frequent event in their offices.
his response: "yeah, it happens all the time here, but not in our group.

Pretty funny. But goes to show that with all their door knocking and now standing around with the carts, the Witnesses are more likely known because they don't celebrate holidays and not for any "good news" they are preaching. And this was a rather negative reference to the JWs. Lovin' it! -

But wait, you must have missed the small print that this shouldn't be seen as "soliciting for funds"! It's only there because so many requested a site just like this. And if you believe that, well............ 😉 -

"And what happened next was simply unbelievable!"
by Terry ini always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.
i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.
so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".

What is most frustrating about this experience is that it shows how even though this is a really big story picked up by many news outlets, it's still not out there enough and most in the U.S. are not aware of it. You know these two will probably go home and Google it in private but who knows if they will pass it on. Sadly, probably not. -

Clap for a prayer? Boy, things have changed in the 30 years I have been out! That would have been considered inappropriate. -

My niece who lives in Naperville Il. sent me this link in a text message this morning. Her mother, my sister, faded when she left high school and pursued a college education. (She is my hero, one of the few of us siblings and cousins who had the courage and brains to leave in time to make a real life.) Anyway, given the connection of JWs in her family, she noticed this from where ever she gets her news. I did a fist pump, right on!!! when I saw the text. So yes, news is getting out. As a side note, when my niece got married in a lovely historical little church in Florida, her grandparents (my elder father and mother) did not go to her wedding. They attended the reception but would not go into the church! Still shaking head over that. -

Jehovah's Witness meets a Born Again Christian on a Train. Oh and a Muslim
by passwordprotected ina couple of saturdays ago i and my girlfriend (who happens to be baptised into the greek orthodox religion, but practises greek catholic...no, she's not greek) were on the virgin train from glasgow to london.. we had reserved seats on the quiet zone of the train, because y'know, a 5 hour train journey shouldn't be sullied by mobile phones ringing and noisy conversations.. somewhere around the lake district a very tall woman sits at the table across the carriage from us, a table already occupied by a very chatty, bearded man in his late 50s, along with his wife.
this man was directing people where to stow their luggage and asking random travellers questions about their journey to the point where i sent my girlfriend a text message (easier to communicate that way without others overhearing us) asking if he was the "train boss".. he struck up a conversation with this new passenger about his travels, but i wasn't really paying attention as i was watching a movie on my ipad, wearing noise cancelling headphones.
after a little while i noticed they'd stopped chatting and the woman was now reading.

Are those actual photos of the situation you descibed? If so, that young woman should be reproved for studying the watchtower in public wearing jeans. She should at all times be in KH attire. She probably made Jehovah very sad.😉

I know this was supposed to be funny, maybe? There were some humorous parts but oh, poor little boy. I have been out 30 years and I still find it sad to be reminded of what it was like. -

Imagine such a ridiculous reaction to a child having a birthday cake! Ask them what scripture says you cannot recognize someone's day of birth. Or why is it ok to have a baby shower cake but not a cake after the birth. Or why is it ok to celebrate a wedding anniversary but not a birth anniversary. Such stupid man made rules. So happy I didn't raise my child in the cult. -

Google "used books" and bring up all the usual sites. You can find several for $50 and up. I looked at Abe Books and there were quite a few there. Alibris is a good site too. Sometimes you have to wonder what some of the Amazon sellers are smoking with their crazy prices.
Whoa, just checked Alibris, too expensive. Check out Abe Used Books have them in the $50's.
