this tidbit of news caught my eye:.
maroccan heavy metal fans convicted.
fourteen heavy metal fans were sentenced to one month and up to one year in prison for 'morally degenerate' behaviour and violation of religion in casablanca, marocco.
A nation run by witnesses (based on their track record with governing large groups of people)
Everyone would eat plastic wrapped danishes in the morning. Everyone would go door to door, except that everyone is already a witness. Never fear, it was ineffective anyway.
Shasta would replace CocaCola as the number one selling beverage.
Lunch would be served at three inconvenient locations in the nation twice a day. Bland sandwiches with lines miles long. Citizens are discouraged from eating at privately owned restaurants.
Women would be better off in most Muslim countries.
Awake! Stands on the corner.
Star Trek Enterprise gets a new 10 year contract. (what is it with Trekkie dubs)
WBBR competes with Radio Havana for broadcasting space.
Police drive Buick LeSabres.
Food Coupons national currency.
Late Night with Dan Sydlik
did any of you hear any of the urban legends that jw's used to scare people into being deathly afraid of demons?
for example i remeber hearing that a child brough a smurf doll to a meeting and upon hearing the name jehovah uttered it got up and walked out.
got any j-dub urban legends?

Honestly I never believed it in the first place, but I knew a man who said he was on the judicial committee of the woman raped by the dentist. He was always a bit of a flake though. He came from Oregon, but it MIGHT have happened when he was in California too, if in fact it really did happen.
I liked your bookbag post.
Mine is just some old cheap thing I bought many years ago. Strangely though, it is still in one piece. I use it to keep tools in. Strangely it still smells like Watchtowers and Awake!s.

she would not go to a Chinese opera because the music was 'chaotic' and Satan was the god of confusion, therefore the music was demonized.
We had a multiracial hall, but the elders were all white. Often I heard speakers from the podium talk about the dangers of music with a pagan, African beat.
We even had an black MS who went along with that line of crap. He was always making long comments about how brothers and sisters would not want to be wearing "ethnic" clothing and hairstyles that might be pagan in origin.He found avenues to make these comments once very month or so. Dispite his efforts to civilize his fellow brothers and sisters, and pioneering every other month, he never made it to being an Elder.
since it applies so much to these days, i think i'll keep a thread going just tossing up some quotes.
perhaps with comments.destruction is not the law of humans.
man lives freely only by his .
Ghandi helped bring about the first peaceful return of a colony to self rule. So when people say you can't give peace a chance, there is always Ghandi, showing that it CAN be done.

oh forgtot a REALLY old urban legend:
Glen Campbell is a secret witness. He just never came out and admitted it like other witness musicians (George Benson, Larry Graham, Prince)
Hmm.. it would be sorta fun to generate some new rumours and see if/how fast/how distorted they spread through the congregations.
some suggestions:
A friend of a friend knows this sister who'se daughter told her her Bratz dolls were telling her to commit immoral acts.
Don't watch "Three Men and a Baby". There is a scene with a Demon in it. A friend of a friend who is a Pioneer went to see it and after he did he got all mixed up in spiritism.
Jolly Ranchers stand for "Gay Farmers".

1) jehovah is a spirit creature , you agree with this ,ok.. now let us move on , also we have been shown throughout the scriptures that jehovah god is seen as a bright light,no man has ever seen him they have only been able to see or feel his radiance,men have felt his glory,men have felt his presence,even mosess wasnot able to withstand the eminence radiating from god,.
when we look to the collection of various animals on the earth, take africa for instance,hundreds of different species,roaming around the planet earth all in specific herds ,lions monkeys, birds,zebra etc etc is this seen as a zooalogical collection placed on the planet by a supreme being.. .
look to the larger picture, what are your thoughts are humans also a part of this great collection,if man is a part of this collection ,what planet was he abducted from ,and whom done the abduction????????????????.
according to the Church of the SubGenius, Jehovah is an alien star god which threatens the earth.
but
There's no Prob with Bob
