Franklin Massey - "Around here, there is an experience that comes up on occasion of a little boy, a toddler, who was learning to say his own prayers before bed. His parents would listen in and were perplexed as to why the boy was asking Jehovah to bless 'Wally'. After a while, they realized he was praying for 'Malawi'."
That "experience" doesn't just come up in your neck of the woods; it's reached almost mythical status all over North America.
There was another one about the toddler being taken to the back for a spanking who cries out "save me, Jehovah!"; everyone would laugh dutifully, even though they'd all heard it a gazillion times. By the time I started fading, I was as goddamned tired of that story as I was of hearing old-timers lament the fact that spanking in general had become so non-PC.
Reminds me; when I was still in (and in an occasional badass mood) and one of said old-timers made that lament, I'd call him or her out on it. I'd say "gosh, you complain so much about not being able to spank anymore, you must have really enjoyed it..."
The red-faced bluster and attempted backpedaling was always immensely satisfying to the giggling little leftist/anarchist in me; anyone who'd seen the little exchange would almost always give me a conspiratorial little smile afterwards...
JWs in my orbit learned quickly not to express stoopid and opinionated statements around me. I still miss it sometimes, as a matter of fact.
