By the way, that should be "download".

Robo-JW meets Robo-Householder

by mustang in

at one time, the jw's took the phonographs from door-door; they also would use a printed message/sermon and hand this to the "householder" to read.

and then we had to learn those awful sermons and sit through the tedium @ the tms.. but times change and so do methods and the reactions to those methods.. fast forward to 2015. we find that bro.

fred steadfast, great-grandson of the founder of the wts, is out in fs.

Whats the dumbest reason youve been counseled?

by avishai in

my friend was counseled for having a bad attitude because he wore white socks w/ his suit.

5) A sister (JoAnn Wakeling, a former fortune teller) counseled me because I told her that I often win stuffed animals from the Skill Crane (you know, when you put fifty-cents in the machine and you steer the crane to try to pick up the stuffed animals). She said that it is the same as gambling, that it's a game of 'chance'. So, since I could be such a wiseass, I counseled her for watching 'Backdraft', which was a rated-R movie.

1) For saying to a Circuit Overseer (Br. Conti) while out in field service, heading back to the car: "Who wants to ride shotgun?"

2) For rapping (even though it was a bible-based Rap...LOL) at a JW talent show/gathering. One lunatic brother shouted out in the middle of our (three JW rappers) performance: "Rap music is DEMONIC! Turn it OFF! TURN IT OFF!!!" He freaked out everyone. Then he ran outta the room covering his ears, trembling like he saw a scene in 'The Exorcist'.

3) My friend (Mark) had a bunch of us over his house for the first time. He took us on a tour. The first stop was his bedroom so we could check out his extensive record collection. Me and a sister (Colette) stayed in the room WITH THE DOOR OPEN while the rest of the group continued with the tour and we were sitting on his bed, looking through the crate of albums. The next day, I got a call from Br. Brooker (now deceased elder) asking me if I was in the bed with a sister. I explained to him the situation but, he still said I was wrong. LOL! Oh, and some out, fat, missing-tooth sister who smelled like old tomatoes dimed me out. She minded everyones business. Damn Millie Ross!!! (yeah, I'm naming names).

4) When I was DJing a wedding reception, some idiot Br. Righteousness was offended that I played a song called, "Girls Night Out" by Tyler Collins. It was a song about the ladies getting together and going out to have a good time without any men. The Brother said it can encourage wives to cheat on their husbands.

Ironically, Colette and I are good friends today and we are both proud exJWs!!!

Yankee Stadium? Not again!

word has it in new york city that the cozy days at nassau colisseum are over.

(for those of you unfamiliar with new york, the district conventions have been held at an indoor colisseum for for several years now.

prior to that new yorkers were forced into sitting for 3+ days in a hot, humid, sometimes rainy outdoor stadium.

The thing that sucks about Nassau Colliseum is the space (or, lack thereof). The rows are soooo narrow and the seats are uncomfortable. Even though I hated the outdoor conventions (and I spent most of my convention life at The Vet in Philly...Hell on earth), going to the Nassau Colliseum was always taxing on my knees.

Ah! But I have a funny memory of Nassau: One year I was seated behind a family consisting of a father that looked like Hitler and Moe (from the Three Stooges), a wife that looked like she was from the Leave it to Beaver era, and a daughter that was somewhere between autistic and retarded. She was very, very active and she was crosseyed. Oh, and her parents would dress her up is some ultra-corny Little House on the Prarie outfit. Each time we had to stand and sing, the little girl would plant firm kisses square in the crack of her daddy's ass!

Even funnier, somehow we ended up behind them again the following year.
