Clever Thieves (Urban Legend material)
by Scully ina colleague of mine related an incident in her neighbourhood that happened recently.. the story begins when a couple decides one weekend afternoon to start up their barbeque to make dinner.
they go out to the back yard, only to realize that their barbeque is no longer there.
they figure it's gone for good, and since it wasn't brand new, nor was it especially valuable and they were in the market for a new one, they didn't bother to report the incident to the police or their insurance company.. a few days go by, and the homeowner is mowing his grass and goes round to the back yard again, and finds his barbeque has been returned.

Jehovah's Witnesses as "a people......"
by ScoobySnax inwho out of all you nasty old apostates (tm) will agree with me, that if you take the gb that you dislike so much, and the watchtower that you hate out of the picture, will agree with me that at the end of the day, and on the whole, jw's really are a good bunch of people.
i did my same old rekky last sunday at the gillingham convention, and will have a good look around next sunday at twickenham convention.
i've been in lots of crowds, at stadiums and arenas, but an assembly is something else, it is somehow unique, its somehow different from any other crowds, there is a deep sense of "togetherness" i've not see any where else.

Another marriage bites the dust because of JW beliefs
by unbeliever ini know very few people who have been successfully married where 1 spouse is a witness and the other is not.
i know there are a few examples on this board.. a couple that i know irl have split after nearly 25 years of marriage because of the stupid shunning shit.
one of their 3 children got df'd 6 months ago and that is when everything fell apart apparently.
