What a load of rubbish!!!!!!!!!! How can they?

by Spectrum in

i watched king kong the other day and as usual i walked out on the film.

i think it was the two hour point and they still had not returned to new york.

i couldn't sit through any more of that badly made, awfully acted film.

Tell us how you really feel!

I liked the film, so I guess that makes me stupid.

I am half-black, so I guess I am an 'Uncle Tom' for liking it.

I am half white, so I guess I am a racist for liking it.

Russell Crowe killed Tigers and men in Gladiator while juggling a sword.

Mike Tyson beat up two men and a woman in a hotel lobby (although I don't know if he was juggling anything).

Bob Barker has allegedly fondled each of his Barker's Beauties, and I have a feeling he was juggling something!

Michael Jackson not only has a song called 'Black and White', but he also lives it.

Black people have some good food products on lock: Uncle Ben, Aunt Jemima, and Mrs. Butterworth (althought she kinda is white after all the syrup is gone).

White people also have some food products on lock: Francesco Rinaldi, St. Pauli's beer, and Grampa Stroehmann (as white as you can get).

I saw John from Revelation at Bethel

by Funchback in

how lame was i that when i toured bethel many years ago, i was all giddy when i saw the old man who was "john" from the wtbts 'revelation' book?

"ooh!

it's the guy from the revelation book!

I wish I saved that WT with the big headed wife. But, it was several years ago.

I most certainly know that the PO still has it. He would always show people the covers of magazines that he and his family have graced.

The funny thing about the wife of the millionaire elder is that she has a huMONgous head. One time they did a family photo on the front of a WT and her head continued on the back cover.

It was priceless!!!

"OOH! Look! It's the guy from the Revelation book!", I exclaimed.
"Would you like to meet him?", said the tour guide.
"Sure", I responded like a kid about to get an autograph from his favorite athlete.

Also, there is an elder (PO, in fact) from my ex-congregation who is a millionaire. He and/or his wife and kid have graced the covers of WTs/Awake's several times. I guess if you donate enough you can have your 15 minutes of JW fame.

Any of you know anybody like this? Or, have you met any of the "stand-ins" who appear in cartoon fashion in the WTS publictions?

UPDATE:

I know it's a little late on my part, but, I finally got to the gym tonight. I worked out 20 minutes on the elyptical machine (burned 325 calories). I know that it might be small stuff for some of you, but for me it denotes progress! ;o)

By the way, the water intake is working great for me!

So far I am two days without sweets. I've lost two pounds. I find that this is mainly because I am drinks tons of water.

The downside is that I have to wake up and go to the bathroom 3-4 times a night...LOL!

Anyone ever seen a ghost?

by Clam in

have you ever seen a "ghost"?

if you did, were you scared, fascinated or straight to denial?.

if you did see one, were you a jw at the time and therefore did you believe it to be an apparition projected by the demons?

Funchback

Almost immediately after I stopped attending the meetings, I stopped believing in demons/ghosts/angels. I have absolutely no belief in the "supernatural".

When I was a JW, I was scared of the dark, I couldn't watch horror films or films about the supernatural (i.e., Poltergeist, Exorcist, vampire flicks, etc.). I always thought the demons would get me. And here I am a grown a$$ man!!! LOL!

Now, I have zero fear and I can sit through a scary movie and they don't scare me at all.

OMG I just saw a BlueJay outside my window.

by the time i went to get my camera he was gone.. the other day the news had a picture of a cardinal here in ottawa.. i haven't seen a blue jay since i was a kid.

it has been raining since last night and the temperature is just above freezing so i am really surprised to see anything except ravens, pigeons and house wrens.

my window is just at the top of the tree tops so now i will be keeping an eye out the window a lot more otfen.. there is a poor sad looking soggy squirrel out there sitting on a branch too.. .

Blue Jays are all over here in southeastern Pennsylvania. I feed the squirrels peanuts and sometimes the blue jays swoop out of nowhere and steal the peanuts. LOL!

I saw a hummingbird for the first time a few months ago. Now that was a wonderful experience (for me).

Wow! These are some great suggestions! Already I have begun. I ate a moderate breakfast (without bread and butter...yay!!!) Tonight, I'm headed to the gym (after I eat dinner).

Beck ... I've missed you, my love. Everything is well?
G Money ... You are cut (a great physique). So, I know I can try your suggestions. And, if I can combine that with everyone else's suggestions, I will be well on my way to a healthier life!!!

Thanks again, all! And I am certain that anyone else reading this thread will benefit from the awesome tips you've all provided.

Thanks, liquidsky.

I am a relative novice when it comes to exercise. So, can you tell me what a "pilate" is? Um...and a Dance Dance Revolution? I feel so out of touch. LOL!!!
