  One of the most irritating things you can say to a Witness?

  by free2beme in

  my relatives that are still witnesses, always hate it when i say one thing to them, more then any others ... .

  "are you going to church tonight?

  "were you at church?".

  Tell them to have a Merry Christmas! or whatever the current holiday is.

  That ottadoit!

  You could really drive them bonkers with this if you went all out. You could get one fo those books about Catholic holidays and Saints' Days, and if you think you'll run into a JW on a certain day, check out what Saint's Day it is and what greetings and customs are appropriate for that day, and upon encountering a Dub, use your newfound knowledge as though you've been observing the holiday.

  And I imagine referring to their meeting as "Mass" or "Service" would annoy them, too.

  what are your thoughts about her?

  there has been some controversy about her lately.

  anyone read her book the godless?.

  I've always seen her as the conservative Michael Moore. I lean somewhat to the conservative side of things and I have little time for Ann; I think she's tries too hard for sound bites and controversy than for hard-hitting balanced discussion.

  i remember when i heard that the rock band name kiss stood for knights in satan's service.

  heard that from the brothers.

  there were probably more, but that one stands out.

  What did the Iranians do to deserve such idiots as leaders??? For decades, Pepsi has been the leading Cola brand in the Middle East, because Coke sold their product in Israel. Pepsi refused to in order to win the Arabs' favour.

  I just got the strangest feeling that perhaps feminine product packaging has gone this way to make men feel better when they are asked to go buy these items for their partners.

  I can't imagine that's a huge market; I'm the only male I know of who has EVER done this particular type of shopping for my wife. I've been told by both males and females that that makes me "one of a kind".

  Film: Grizzly Man

  by MegaDude in

  1. jw

  what a whacked out character timothy treadwell was.. this documentary and story, told mostly through treadwell's own video, is about a man who wanted to be a friend of grizzly bears and perhaps maybe be a grizzly bear.

  he took off for alaska where for long stretches of time he would "commune" with these huge killer bears and film them.

  he seemed to think he had nothing to fear because he was operating at a higher level of spirituality and that the bears sensed it.

  The Organization Is A (fill in the blank space)

  by metatron in

  2. friends

  ok, here's the challenge: how do you tell your witness "friends" and relatives that you don't think it's the "truth" - without them labeling .

  you as an apostate and fleeing in terror?

  i'm tired of questions behind my back like "doesn't he go to meetings?

  "Although I don't believe in God, I do believe this is his organization."

  That's the funniest s*** I've read for a while! LOL

  I dare someone to try this - it'd be a scream!

  well, i been "living in sin" for about 5 days now and aside from an elder asking if i was gonna still do a talk i was scheduled for this past monday (i told him no of course.

  he knows i moved out and only asked about my literature) i finally worked the nerve to download the application for this season's america's next top model.

  i've been modeling for some time now and i figured what the hell...i have nothing to lose but $3.95 in postage.

  Do you really think Tyra Banks is going to want to spend several weeks around a Naomi Campbell lookalike?

  But seriously, if you've got the looks, then there's no reason you shouldn't go for it. And if you do get in, can you imagine how much that'll drive your family and former fair weather friends nuts??? Especially those who "don't watch the show because of its worldliness" and report you to the elders? Classic!!

  it's been a while but here we are again with some notes of a wine that, ever seeking a fresh taste, has been chosen this month.. this month's selection came about on the occasion of the world cup final.

  i was going to visit a bar (at 4 in the morning!!

  ) where the match was shown on a large screen.
