    16. You make the mistake of telling the elders that you're going to get a vacsectomy, and you lose your microphone privleges.

    When my wife first started studying she actually committed act #12 on a group of strangers. We just happen to be passing by a church where a funeral was going on. When we got to our destination, she actually took the car and went back to the church to take the opportunity to give the bereaved family a "tract".

    I should've taken that as a hint then what JWs were all about. But did I listen,,NNNNOOOOOOOOOOO.

    Blind mindcontrol at it's finest....

    Good work Chezza ... yes all those you mention, but wait, there is more, many More! But you hit the fun highlights.

    TR: "16. You make the mistake of telling the elders that you're going to get a vacsectomy, and you lose your microphone privleges.

    I was already laughing at what Chezza said, and then got to your #16, and spit my coffee out. How true, how true! Funny how such simply things results in losing 'priveledges.'

    Following Bible principles, we will avoid trying to live - or demand others to live - by an extensive and rigid set of dos and don'ts that go beyond the teachings of the Bible. The Watchtower, 4-15-02, pg 22, pp 15

    What's the deal with a vacsectomy? Never knew it was frowned upon.

    Well, Star, *OBVIOUSLY* TR was a MUCH more spiritual man, because he read those magazines!

    Yes, vasectomies and tubal ligations were very much frowned on. I think if you do a search you might find the thread.

    Kenpo what a great thread. Reminds me of Joe Pesci in "My Cousin Vinny" --the two "YOUTS"
