54Goodbye to the Board
by dedalus inim leaving the board, and am compelled to announce it.
but there are a few things i want to say first -- some recollections that (perhaps incongruously) seem germane to my leave-taking of jw.com.
1) my first post was also my first thread, written in the summer of 2000 (on h2o, actually).

When did the WTB&TS "Jump the Shark?"
by El Kabong ininspired by the website of the same name, when do you think the society "jumped the shark".
for those who don't know what that phrase means, jumping the shark is the moment something (such as a tv show) begins it's downward spiral.
the name comes from when "fonzie" actually jumped the shark while water skiing on the tv show crappy happy days, complete with leather jacket.

I love the Jump the Shark website. Classic!!
I think the wts jumped the shark on Day 1. It was an ill-conceived idea that has been on a downward spiral since its inception.

dolphin or not.... anything with a fin is the last thing I want to see whilst on a surfboard. If I were that surfer in the photo I would have had a massive heart attack and died right then.

I can't be sure if this is a joke or not...
by embalmed inbut this website reminds me somewhat of the society.
it's very amusing, particularly the subtitles.
and don't forget the children's page!.

Jesus built my hot rod
this is their sponsor, so I'm guessing it's a joke. It's pretty sad though, when you can't tell if it's actually a joke because that's how lots of fundies actually are.

You guys are cracking me up
freedom96, we do have an unusually high number of sharks (especially Makos) on the west coast this year. I can only assume it is due to the unseasonably warm and mild winter we had. The currents are very warm in the Pacific this time of year, so don't go swimming in the ocean, ok?! I'm too chicken to even go in past my knees.

Pirates! Johnny Depp
by asleif_dufansdottir ini really liked it (i don't ask a lot in a movie...escapist entertainment's what i'm after).
i thought johnny depp rocked as the rather swishy, funny pirate captain.
orlando bloom is turning into quite the attractive young man...after that last scene, i can see him in musketeer garb.. looking forward to the league of extraordinary gentlemen (love sean connery)...heard it's not great, but like i said, escapist entertainment).
