One day, I was housesitting (and catsitting) for him and his Pioneer wife. Anyway, I was watching a videotape of 'See Spot Run'. That movie was PG! There was a scene in the movie where Anthony Anderson said, "I bet you I can pick up that five dollar bill with my butt". The Clearplay censored the word "butt". This was rather annoying. By the way, my borther and his wife are without children. They are so friggin' prude.

Oh, and he once was offended at this: My brother and his brilliant wife and a bunch of us were at a gathering (TM) . The owners of the house had a rather large dog. Anyway, as most male dogs (heck, males in general...LOL) do, he got a little aroused. His penis was showing. My wonderful sister-in-law asks another pioneer lady, "What's that thing?!?". The pioneer lady said, "That's his penis". My brother turned red. He was making grunts of disapproval (you know, "Ugh!", "Aw!", and "Hmph!"). He was so uptight about the word "penis". And "nipple".

EDITED to say: The entire population of JWs would probably like to invent a true-life Clearplay.

Comment at the meeting about "family not believing in Jehovah" anymore

i grit my teeth, i tell you, i just grit them when i hear comments like this one.

this one guy in the kh has these lame ass comments all the time, and here is his latest, .

"we are sad about family that does not believe in jehovah anymore.

Funchback

JWs (myself included when I was a JW) make ignorant comments like that all of the time.

One difference between JWs and everyone else is that JWs are crafty at hiding their wrongdoings.

Hang in there, Jez!

White Rappers?

by RichieRich in

friends

anybody listen to rap music?

anybody just listen to it because you aren't supposed to?

what do you think of all those white rappers?.

I listen to Rap (mostly Old School).

The best "white" Rap group (in my opinion) was 3rd Bass (although their group was short lived).

MC Search and Pete Nice aka 3rd Bass. Two Jewish guys from New York.

One night at the Apollo, before they were really known, they came out on stage to perform 'Steppin to the A.M.' Pete Nice said to the crowd of mostly black folks with puzzled (and angry) looks on their face: "If you're black and proud, let me see you put your hands in the air".

The audience was almost in stunned silence. Pete Nice then says, "What? Y'all ain't proud?".

Then, they performed the song. By the end, the crowd was wild because they liked the performance so much! Everyone was jumping and screaming and applauding.

Man, I miss 3rd Bass.

"We Are NEVER on Vacation from Jehovah"

by Funchback in

remember these words?

: "we are never on vacation from jehovah"

often, this very "reminder" was in the kingdom ministry.

Crumpet-

Surrey, eh? Believe it or not, I have acquaintances from Surrey. Long story short, years ago I worked with a woman from Surrey (Bindu). She had a unique dialect. Years later, I encountered a DIFFERENT co-worker on the telephone. Her dialect was exactly the same as the Bindu's. I asked her if she was from Surrey, and she said yes. She was astounded that I could figure that out.

Anywaaaaaay.......

You did have it bad, Crumpet! You had to do the morning texts AND a family study?!? YUCK! Also, what you said was also true in my case: You never stay in touch with these so-called brothers and sisters that you meet at those halls in which you visit.

Sunspot:

I feel for your "experiences"! But, I am happy that you (and me) have eventually learned.

Vacation away from the Kingdom Halls are great!

As one of you said in a post to this topic, going on a vacation is to break away from the normal routine of things.

I also used to have a "sick" feeling in my stomach whenever I had to go to the meeting on a day off from work (i.e., Thanksgiving, Christmas). You were off the entire day, relaxing, until around 6:00 PM. That is when you had to get ready for the meeting that night.
