  What have you been doing?

  Reading lots of old comic books and eating jelly donuts. Boy, hasn't wheat gone up lately, do you think the bees will visit this year? Those bees there something else, I was reading about bees in an old Awake.... then walk off and tell the next group about bees, with a very distant look.

  The next group "did we hear that the preaching work was ending and Bethel was closing its doors? Lots of layoffs, lots of layoff; do you think the bees will visit this year? Those bees..... " then walk off.

  Nos- I forgot that about BOC and Patti - thanks.

  Homer - when you hear "number 6", backwards, then know that Aleister lives in Jimmy Page's axe. Enjoy!

  Saw Patti play in Boston in my punk rock days, think I painted one side of my face with a dollar sign, the other with SS. Homer, those fatties must have been in the days of nickel bags. Then again, I hear the winds scream, "roll over rover and let Homer take over!" Tell me the winds don't cry Mary, eh Homer?

  Rutherford Exposed: The Story of Berta and Bonnie (redux)

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower

  in september 2004, farkel posted an article on this forum called "rutherford exposed: the story of berta and bonnie.

  " his essay, which subsequently was translated into several languages and which received over 10,000 views after the first month, spawned a thread that ran 28 pages and contained the collaborative research efforts of many in jwd.

  this thread was thought by some moderators to be the best in the forum -- not necessarily because of the claims in the original essay but because it inspired a staggering amount of research aimed at assessing the credibility of the claims made in the essay, as well as adding to our knowledge of this fascinating yet obscure chapter of watchtower history.

  my little sister called me just now.

  exciting news - stop the presses - her husband has been made an elder.

  she is 27 and he is 26... is that not a little young to be an elder?

  Zone Overseer to visit Canada

  by Connaughty in

  i understand that the zone overseer is scheduled to give a talk in canada.

  many assembly halls and being booked to receive the telephone hook-ups.

  do you think that he's coming because he found out that some of our youth are attending university, and he's coming to kick our canadian butts?

  I know these two brothers - one 17, the other 18, they were made elders. They would have made it a year earlier, but they had only quit smoking a few weeks when the circus (CO) came through town. They were so overjoyed, they bought the other elders cases of beer.

  ---the notes you send your co-workers ends with the letters lol.

  --- you find the milk in the cupboard next to the cereal, (just where you left it).

  ---you try to take a sneak peak @ jwd topics from work, and your computer screen says access denied because the page contains the words "asian babes".

  You know it's too much when your S.O. says "It's not going to get any better. Go somewhere else, if you want to."
