Did your KH sound system ever pick up CB radio?
by MungoBaobab ini remember mine did, way back in the early- to mid-80's.
it was always funny to all of a sudden hear a trucker hollering out the f-word in the middle of the service meeting!
man, if could only imagine the deer-in-the-headlights look of panic in the eyes of the elders.

Foul language at meetings and/or service
by MungoBaobab indid you ever hear anyone conspicuously swear at meeting or out in service?
and i'm not talking about sitting in the bleachers with your buddy at the dc and telling dirty jokes.
i mean someone slipping a curseword into her comment at the watchtower study or dropping the f-bomb after realizing he left his bookbag on the roof of the van while pulling out of the kh parking lot with a full car group.. any takers?

Logical Conundrums & Contradictions
by MungoBaobab infind contradictions and loopholes in watchtower doctrines.
