    The pedo story that just broke is going to take this Sparlock joke and put it waaaaaaaay on the backburner. In fact, might be a good time for the WT to have Sparlock disappear

    What story is that? Got a link?

    Okay, are you ready for an Experience TM ?

    So I just received my tshirt this afternoon. I had to go to the store, so I thought, what the heck, I'll put it on. So no less than ten minutes after I received my shirt, I was at the meat counter at the supermarket and the butcher dude asked me, "Is that from a video game or something?" So I told him its a character created by the leadership of Jehovah's Witnesses to discourge kids from using their imagination...and he was like what??? So I explained briefly that it was from a children's video they made to teach that it is wrong to play with toys like this, anything with a magical fun theme like this, and he said, "And you support that?" And I said, "lol, no, this shirt is to protest that." And he said, "Ah, good, that sounds really petty of them." And btw I had this conversation in front of several people waiting to be served.

    Anyway, I never really talked in public about JWs; I'm a real live-and-let-live person, and even when a JW comes to my door I politely tell them I'm not interested, so it was kind of a weird experience talking about JWs to strangers (a kind of reverse witnessing), but I guess this t-shirt is a conversation starter. Again, I wore the t-shirt no less than ten minutes before I was asked about it.
