Anyone getting baptized at a non-JW church in 2004?
by brianhenke in
1. jw

.

anyone who is planning on getting baptized in another church (ie, not jw) in 2004.. i'm planning on joining a church where people do get dunked in a pool wearing "modest beach attire" (as jws might say), but it's not going to be in front of thousands of strangers.

this church does not twist the bible, like the borg does.. .

i'm waiting to hear david letterman make fun of mariah carey's glitter or from justin to kelly, but dave told a jw joke on last night's show:.

he was cleaning up his house after el blizzardo 2003 hit new york, and he found two newspapers and a jehovah's witness.. .

i still think the all-time funniest jw joke was still the weakest link episode where this happened:.
