Have you heard the one about "Back to the Future" Predicting 911??

by EndofMysteries in

when somebody posted this on fb, i was anxious to see how ridiculous it would be, probably worse then the gb prophecies, etc.

after watching the clip, i honestly don't know what to believe.

at the very least it's very entertaining and interesting.

In 1984, the NBA Houston Rockets drafted center Hakeem Olajuwon, who would be paired with 7'4" Ralph Sampson, forming one of the tallest front courts in the NBA. Nicknamed the "Twin Towers", they led the team to the 1986 NBA Finals.

If you reverse '19' and remove '84' from the year '1984', it becomes '91'. 8+4=12. Remove the '2', you're left with '1'. Take that '1' and put it at the end of '91': 911.

Houston is home to the Houston Terror Dome ( http://www.houstonterrordome.com/ ). Separate "dome", it becomes "do me". Terror Do me. Do terror to me.

Sampson's career ended in injury, leaving Olajuwon alone, a lone tower.

Next week, I will explain how the Bee Gees' smash hit, "Stayin' Alive", actually foretold the death of Benny Hill.

My older brother who is a prudish die-hard JW and his just-as-prudish JW wife got bent way out of shape because, while at a gathering at a couple's house, I made a comment about their dog's nipples. You would've thought that I said the F-word. I asked, "What's wrong?". My brother responded, "You said 'nipple'".

I asked him, "Since when is nipple a bad word?". He and his wife covered their ears and made sounds to drown out the word 'nipple'. "Argh! NO! You said it again. Stop saying 'nipple'!".

At that moment, I realized he was a lost cause.

PS: He was about 35 years old at the time.

Latest rumor - all WT construction "suspended", except for Warwick

by sir82 in

jw
friends

heard 4th-hand, but from a full-on believer, so not likely to be an "apostate lie":.

apparently, at bethel's morning worship this morning, it was announced that all worldwide wts construction is "suspended" for an indefinite time, except for the new world headquarters at warwick.. also, the "relocation" of remote translating teams is also suspended.. finally, there will be a "worldwide" reduction in bethel personnel.. all this came to me in a non-english language, and,as noted, 4th-hand.

so it is possible something may have been lost in translation and/or in the multiple steps between bethel morning worship & me.. but if true, it would be quite stunning.

Oh my goodness!

The above posts are cracking me up!

One time, this CO name Anthony Conti...he was a salty old man...admonished me for saying that I was going to ride "shotgun" in the field service car group. LOL!

I then fired back a her: "You saw the R-rated movie 'Backdraft.' We're not supposed to watch R-rated movies." She told me I was playing a game of chance. She said her choice of movies was a matter of conscience.

I another one, I used to DJ JW "gatherings" and wedding receptions. I was playing a song called 'Girls Nite Out' by Tyler Collins. This brother came over to the turntables and said that by "playing this song, you are encouraging sisters to leave their husbands." smh

Please share some weird things you were counseled for.

Here's an idea to make money off of JWs

by Funchback in

an ex-jw ("apostate") should create a competitive business selling jw-related products as found on this site (check out the prices!!!):.

http://www.ministryideaz.com/jehovah-witness-new-products-s/1893.htm.

of course, you'd never mention anything about your "apostate" status.

snugglebunny-

There was once some talk about producing a disfellowshipping kit. It consisted of ear plugs so you couldn't hear the person, dark glasses so you couldn't see them and even a gag to stop you speaking to them.

Too funny!
