I was just reading through some post(not intending to actually start a thread) and a sister calls to confirm our families service plans for tomorrow. The funny part is I told my wife earlier this week that this organization is complete B.S. Guess I'll be cool about it because my wife was not all that upset or surprised. My wife won't let anyone know my feelings as she understands the affect this will have on our kids. And I would deny my feelings to the BOE anyway just to screw with them. Anyway,now that I jumped the shark I should have plenty to add- Like the time I gave a public talk after 8 shots of vodka-"holy spirits" helped me through it. I need to go prepare my presentation for tomorrow in case someone comes to a door I pretend to knock on.

Maybe you can hand them some "apostate" literature instead.

I guess you could say you "jumped the shark" but it would be more appropriate to say
their teachings have "jumped the shark."

From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_the_shark):

Jumping the shark is a colloquialism used by U.S.TV critics and fans to denote the point in a TV series at which the characters or plot veer into a ridiculous, out-of-the-ordinary storyline. Shows that have "jumped the shark" are typically deemed to have passed their peak, since they have undergone too many changes to retain their original appeal, and after this point critical fans often sense a noticeable decline in their quality.

The term is an allusion to a scene in a 1977 episode of the TV seriesHappy Days when the popular character Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli literally jumps over a shark while water skiing. The scene was considered so preposterous that many believed it to be an attempt at reviving the declining ratings of the flagging show.

Welcome to the threads. We love stories about giving talks after 8 shots of anything.

You can write down some websites ( such as this one) or write " ignore this magazine. This is a cult" on an index card and stick inside the magazine so that the housholder will see it when you're not at the door.
