For 75 years, NBC and CBS have been under Satan's thumb
by onacruse inin 1927, after a typically bilious convention speech, a pugnacious resolution, and aggressive booklet campaign, rutherford's access to established national radio chains was severely curtailed.

Green Devil
by richard in.
years ago, when the cover of the new world translation was green coloured, mormon missionaries referred to it as the "green devil".
anyone knows of similar or other expressions?

I had heard from someone, and I can't remember who, but I do remember I felt he was in a good reason to know why.. anyway he said the vinyl or whatever it was they used for the green bibles was cheaper, and that is why they used it.
Now if we only knew why they had that dinosaur walking aroung Sahara on the front map, or that guy that looked like he had a popcorn head, all would be clear.

I think Prince is one of the greatest guitarrists who ever lived. I think he'll survive this JW episode ok.

There's a cool old bum that stands at the end of the exit ramp where I work sometimes. He has a sign that says "I won't lie. I need money for beer". I've given him a 40 before.

we had a CO that used to call "The Truth That Leads to Everlasting Life" the Blue Bombshell. Naturally some in the congo took this up and also used the term for awhile. One of those jokes from the platform that aren't funny but which most everyone laughs the alternative is unthinkable.

JW references in movies
by stichione ini watched the movie "mickey blue eyes" last night on tv, staring hugh grant.
at one point there is a knock at the door and mickey, looking through the peep hole, anounces "its the jehovah bloody witnesses".
there was more insitent knocking and the female occupant replies "they must be really devoted!".

In Stephen King's "The Stand", Randal Flagg aka the devil kept a fictituous JW tract in his pocket called (I dont know if I remember this right) called "If You Can Anwer These 20 Questions You Are Saved Brother". The miniseries didn't really get into Flagg's character much, and I don't think it mentioned this.

I seem to remember an ooold Saturday Night Live skit featuring a St. Mickey's Knights of Columbus Christmas Party where the award to the winning basketball team for their league went out to a team from Bethel. The Bethel representative was the only person who knew the words to Good King Wencesles, but maybe I can't remember it quite right. It was a bizarre skit. Did anyone see it? It would have been a 70's episode.

my favorite possible-JW reference in a song is from "The Clash's", "Lightening Strikes (not once but twice)"
excerpt:
Strike! Twice! OK so roll!
From Harlem! Strike one!
Harlem slum to penthouse block
On every door I already knocked
There wasn't anybody that I didn't leave alone
Somebody lying under every stone
Everything that a man could need
In a bag down by my knee
That looks good, this ain't got seeds
Cheaper than booze down in the bowery
Lightning strike! Old New York!
Everything's light! Strike!
Hey ho such a night
I'll see y'all when the lightning strike
