WTBTS or IBSA
by Jim_TX inthe other day, i was in a local half-price bookstore.
just out of curiosity, i went down the 'religious' isle, and sure enuf, i saw a couple of publications by the witnesses wedged in with the usual other things, bible-related.. i also saw a spanish printed something-or-other... a recent publication (although i don't remember the copyright date).
i was looking at the information, and it said something like.... published by the watchtower bible and trach society and international bible students association ... etc.

Located a JW publication...
by Jim_TX inlast saturday, my fiancee and i went out, and wound up in an indoor flea market walking around.. we went past many many stalls... people were selling any and everything that you could imagine - and that would fit within a cubicle of about 10-feet by 10-feet.
(some were larger, too.).
well, we found one stall that the fella had used books - and he had pretty well organized them by 'topic'.

Seven heads and Ten horns...
by Jim_TX inokay... i was just sitting here reading through the postings, and got the thought.... how many different 'organizations' has the wtbts formed?
i know that they have created several in the last few years... but am not sure what are their names (and don't really care, that much).. if i am not mistaken... are there 10 'leaders' of the 'society' now?
hahahahaha... .

right next door to the sonic is a pizza hut.

Other 'superstitions' of JWs (other than fortune cookies)
by Jim_TX inwell... the 'fortune cookie' thread got me to thinking about all of the silly things that my mom (and the jws) did when i was growing up.. it has been a while, and so i know that i won't be able to remember all of them.. my mom refused to buy a soft drink named 'sprite' - as its' logo included a small impish-looking fella (a sprite) that wore a bottlecap for a hat.
she claimed it was deemunz.. my mom hesitated to buy fried chicken at a place named 'church's fried chicken', as she wasn't sure if the name meant 'religion', or was a person's last name.. my mom refused to shop at salvation army - cause it would be supporting another religion.. the folks at the local kingdom hall came down hard on my mom cause one of my sisters wore a cute little 'sailor's dress'... it had boat anchors, and other 'sailor' emblems on the buttons, that were considered 'militaristic' by the powers-that-be at the local kh.
(i'm not sure if my mom put on different buttons, or scrapped the dress entirely.

cap & gown stuff - the whole nine yards?.
it wasn't even a consideration, either.. heck... i wasn't allowed to go to senior 'honors' night - where i was elected to receive some sort of recognition.
