    Just had this sent to me. I am not sure if its being posted before but I got a laugh out of it.

    Jeff Foxworthy: YOU JUST MIGHT BE A JEHOVAH'S WITNESS IF....

    If "pioneer" is not a stereo, "new light" is not something in the
    housewares department and "tract" has nothing to do with land
    or farming.

    If you know when Nisan 14 of the Jewish calendar lands in the
    Gregorian calendar from year to year, and yet you commonly
    forget your own birthday.

    If "Memorial Day" isn't in May.

    If you spent days at a baseball stadium, never saw a ball, and
    didn't even have a beer.

    If you think "formal clothing" and "civic center" belong in the same
    sentence.

    If you wash windows or cars for a living and still own five suits.

    If you think nothing of letting your friends stop by to use the
    bathroom.

    If you know the cleanliness of every coffee shop for four towns around.

    If you think 2-door vehicles aren't really cars.

    If you go to Home Depot and go down the aisle where doors are displayed
    and you feel compelled to knock on them.

    If you can't buy a pair of shoes without thinking about how comfortable
    they will need to be while walking residential streets in 95-degree
    heat.

    If you have a tendency to refer to books by color instead of by title.

    If you have a shelf just for 192-page books.

    If you can't pick up a book, or anything else to read, without picking
    up a pencil or highlighter too.

    If you think it is complimentary to refer to someone as "a study".

    If you have "get-togethers" rather than "parties".

    If, after one of such "get-togethers" at your home, your house is not
    a mess and you have more food than when you started.

    If you realize things are getting worse, and you're thrilled!!

    If you have a shelf just for 192-page books.

    LOLOL

    I had 5, count'em, FIVE 48-inch shelves just for those books, and still didn't have enough room (books in boxes in the garage, books in boxes in the attic).

    (Anybody go for 6, 8, 10...c'mon, I know I wasn't that weird! LOL) Or maybe, I was?

    Funny thing, though...now I don't have enough shelf space for the 852-page reference books that give me real information. More than a fair trade!

    HAHAHAHA! A real chuckel for sure WP, thanks! BTW I like your new avatar too!

    Another one could be:

    If you can only buy a purse if it's able to double as a bookbag.

    Craig!

    So now everyone knows the real reason there wasn't enough space for all my stuff when I moved in.........ahhh huh! Now you know peeps!

    I always like these too

    If you have a child that is 3 years old that sits quietly for hours at a time while adults discuss mind numbingly boring topics around him, and you brag about him to all your friends... you might as well get a saddle for him and ride him because you broke his spirit and he is no longer a child. And you might be a Jehovah's Witness.

    If you believe that God ignored everyone for nearly 2,000 years, then suddenly gave His truth to a man who sat around drawing pictures and plans of pyramids, you must be a JW.

    If you insist in calling the New Testament the Greek Scriptures, you might be a JW.

    If you can have a Bible study without a Bible, you might be a JW.

    If you have costume parties for the "young ones" within a month of Halloween, and, if you wrap presents in brown paper to give each other on "Family Gift Day", you are not only a JW, but a Worldly Wannabe and aren't fooling anybody.

    Here's one that comes to mind , If you are married and want children but are afraid the end of the world will get in the way , you just might be a dub.

    You refer to a neighborhood as a "territory." (and you know the number).

    You own your own washer and dryer but you have been to every laudramat in town.

    Going on a "RV" does not mean Recreational Vehicle

    You have written to the Presidents of Malawi and Singapore
