here is a crazy site that is trying to shut down the landover baptist web site.

i can't help but wonder if it is a joke.. http://207.67.219.101/objective/index.html.

fyi: landover is located at: www.landoverbaptist.com.

I should have read more before I decided it was serious. It is apparently another parody, but far more subtle than Landover.

That site is serious in its intent, although Landover is clearly a parody. This anti-Landover movement has been in the works for a while, and thay have managed to cause them some legal grief as well. I would think that God would be powerful enough to take care of this himself if he was that upset about it.

The Annual ``Don't Misbehave'' at Asemblies'' KM

by Room 215 in

jw
friends

greetings from the ``here we go again'' department.

while worldlings have only the song of the robins and the bloom of the daffodils and crocuses as harbingers of spring, jehovah's people and readers of their literature can always count on two more: the annual ``don't partake!

'' article in the watchtower, and the yearly exhortation to ``make nice at the summer's assemblies'' in the km.. in the case of the latter, the tone and content of the annual scolding is unbelievably demeaning to any responsible adult... being told to dress nice (suits and ties only, please, for the men and deresses only -- not too short ladies) not to abuse complimentary breakfasts, pool privileges and generally avoid rowdiness at the hotels where they stay-- all laced with clearly fabricated -- not to mention unattributed-- quotes from ``worldly observers amazed by our fine conduct.''.

Is there any chance of someone scanning in and posting this?

Thanks,

...and you thought the Dubs were bad....

by Scully in

i sure hope this is satire, because if it's real, it would be very scary knowing people like this are around.

the dubs are bad enough!.

love, scully.

What is very interesting about that site (which IS a parody) is the number of times that mainstream news outlets get hold of something from there and show it as real.

While visiting there, be sure to read the section of real emails that they receive from visitiors. The majority of them have no clue that it is a parody, and take them to task. The letters are a riot.
