  i went to the meeting yesterday because the out of town speaker and his wife are good friends of my wife and i. after the meeting we got invited to someones house who was feeding the speaker because they know that we are friends and because ive missed lots of meetings in the last two months and my wife and i need a good love bombing!

  well during our lunch i was complaining about my having braces at 30 and how stupid i looked with them and the 83 year old sisters house we were at told me that i wasted my money on them because the end would be here with 7 years anyway.

  i asked her "do you really think so?

  I had the most amazing dream

  when i was sleeping in a foreign field (well glastonbury, so it might have been the mushroom garlic bread).. i dreamed me and mum were at the meeting doing the witchtower, and uncle malcolm was taking it (yes the very same who was widowed by a sausage and married a rich old lady).

  well he asked a question and mum answered up and what she said was totally the opposite of what the witchtower was saying, but she used such long words and convoluted reasoning that no-one noticed.

  in fact some other people answered up and said they agreed with her and continued to spout the witchtower line.

  As we walked out feeling pretty embarrased, slowly at least HALF the congregation got up and followed us in silent support because what we had said was what they had all been thinking but had been too scared to voice.

  And I knew that none of them would go back.

  Now, if we only had the power to make our dreams come true. Good dream Katie.

  She was babtised in 1952 and pioneering still

  That is such a long time to be fooled. When I read the title of your post, I thought, "SHISH, here they go again" but an 83 year old, I feel so sorry for her.

I remember my parents used to have a medical book they used to refer to when we were kids and they had questions. I use the internet, and with 2 small ones, there are constant medcial questions. Saves alot on the long distance phone bills, I just email friends instead. And having JWD,

  light skin: so much for intelligent design...

  ... and evolution, by the way.

  if we were designed by an intelligent creator, why the heck do we light-skinned people get burnt to death when the sun is shining?

  not very intelligent design... .

  I know, I feel your pain! I am very fair skinned.

  When people see my legs sometimes they will say "why dont you get a tan". Well GEE, I never thought of that, all these years I coulda just gone out and got a tan. I dont tan, and I do burn. Done the lobster thing a time or two, ouch. You poor thing.

  I have tried the tanning cremes, (wont do tanning salons, because of skin cancer) but they are just such a hassle. So I'll just leave myself be, Light is beautiful!

  e-foot in mouth, does anyone else have this problem??

  hey guys don't know about you but i got through these periods where i seriously put my foot in it via email, forums, txt messages etc.

  in real life i'm quite diplomatic and have a knack for saying the right thing.

  the sort of thing i'm talking about is replying to all in an email, rather than just replying to sender, and disseminating a whole bunch of information to people you never intended it for.

  SMURFS: Do all JWs think they're evil?

  by sonnyboy in

  i'm wondering if there are any urban legends passed around at your former (or current) hall, like the one we had about smurfs.

  an elder told us that smurfs were created by satan worshipers and were evil.

  he then told us about a young girl who brought a plush smurf doll to service at a local hall.

  I left before the whole smurf stuff came about. But, my dad was an elder, and I guess it was just the neck of the woods we were in, but yikes, did we ever hear all kinds of stories about demonzied stuff. I can't tell you how many times he was called out in the middle of the night to different peoples homes, who had "items" that were demonized, people who saw demons, all kinds of crap. My dad had a shirt that was apparently demonized. We realy grew up with fear of the demons, that's for sure.

  One time I blasted Welcome To The Jungle (Guns N Roses), in the parking lot. Lol that was fun! I think I should do Running With The Devil (Van Halen) this year.

  Hey, you're into classic rock n roll, at your age? Good stuff. Well, gee I am so sorry you have to put up with the torture of attending an assembly, I feel for you.
