Ole Signtopia is gonna be busy this Fall. For starters, me and Supernurse are heading off to Texas again for ten days to visit our daughter. Then, in October, about two weeks later, we will be heading to Mexico for vacation.............oh yeah right..........that's right......Signtopia is always on vacation.
Somehow, someway...........in the midst of all of this..........or maybe immediately after.........I have to get busy painting Maryland Blue Crab shells. I have about 130 of them ready for paint. Then, I need to get myself in gear and market them on the internet. I have some great ideas for the shells.
Here are a few of my thoughts today:
Finally, Baltimore has someone other than Pat Jessamy to prosecute criminals. For 15 years, Jessamy has somehow managed to keep her job as States Attorney for Baltimore City.........and Baltimore City has somehow managed to keep itself crime ridden for over the past 15 years. Was Jessamy to blame?.......maybe.......maybe not........but we all want thugs to be held accountable for their actions. Jessamy said, after her defeat, "I will be MOVING FORWARD"..........go figure!
I am still getting comments to the blog entry entitled "Jehovah's Witnesses Should Read This" which I had written over about two years ago.. I find it amazing that so many people are interested in whether or not Venus and Serena Williams are members of that cult group or not. Can you say "Moths to a flame?"
Ravens lost to the Bengals.............Joe Flacco was lethargic. Every time the camera showed a close-up of him, he looked like he was dazed and confused and working in a zone other than a football field. Gotta blame the coaches on this loss. Flacco should have sat out the fourth quarter...........he really wasn't there anyway.
Until next time, here are a few videos that I thought was interesting:
I realize that for the majority of people on the planet, Jehovah's Witnesses are simply irrelevant and thus they could care less what Witnesses do or do not do. In the grand scheme of things, generally..........people don't know much about them and see no reason to learn anything about them..........and that is understandable. So here I go finding myself mentioning them on this blog again..........why?..........oh I suppose you could say that there is some unfinished business......hehehe.........then again, you could also say that the world of the Watchtower is like a bad accident.......you know.......you just find yourself having to look at the mess as you drive past.
As I stated, most do not know much about them.........and I would take that even farther by stating that even most of the Witnesses don't even know much about their own group. How can a say such a thing?.......well.......I have had quite a bit of experience chit-chatting with JWs for many, many years and this is what I have observed. For an example, you might want to look into some of my past entries on this blog that mention Jehovah's Witnesses and be sure to look at the comments and my responses to those comments. After reading those, I doubt that I should have to explain it any further to you.
I have written about Venus and Serena Williams before (the blog entry entitled "Jehovah's Witnesses Should Read This").............yes......the famous tennis stars.......and I can safely say that of all of the things I have written about......those particular posts have been the most popular. Don't get the idea that droves of people are interested in Venus and Serena Williams and want to see what I have to say about them.........that is not the case. As it happens, whenever somebody does a Google search and enters the names "Venus & Serena Williams" and they also include the term "Jehovah's Witnesses"........BINGO.........the will likely get a link to this blog just because I have written about them being Jehovah's Witnesses. Furthermore, just in case anyone wonders about such things, I can tell you that there are people from all over the planet that seem to perform such a search........yes, I have a blog tool that provides me with some statistics. And before anybody gets the idea that there are thousands of people coming to this blog on a daily basis to read about whether or not the Williams sisters are Jehovah's Witnesses or not..............that simply is not the case. But of the people that do happen to view this blog, the majority get here by searching for the video of "Mrs. Farting Preacher"......hehehe....go figure........and the second most popular thing appears to be the Venus and Serena Williams issues. Okay then........you may be wondering what came in third?........it's a no-brainer........people search for "the end of the world" and this blog shows up. This is just the way things are and I actually have no control over it.
Okay, so I log on and sign in to Blogger and I get myself prepared to write this and I notice that I have a comment from someone that needed to be addressed. I clicked on it and "Lo and Behold" it is a comment about one of my prior postings about Venus and Serena Williams. For the record, I accept and post all comments and the only exception would be those that have inappropriate language. Otherwise, I have always encouraged people to offer a comment, pro or con..........I can handle it........and in regards to people who happen to be Jehovah's Witnesses....well.......I really, really, really, enjoy allowing them to speak for themselves.....hehehe........after all, they always prove my points......often ultimately confirming what they initially deny.
For whatever reason, the big issue with Venus and Serena Williams is that both of them have said publicly that they are Jehovah's Witnesses. I personally see no good reason for them to lie about it and I have no good reason to not believe them. The problem is, as I have written before, that the Williams sisters participate in things and do things that the rank and file Witnesses could never get away with. Do I dislike the Williams sisters because of this?........NO. Would I like them better if they toed the line as the other JWs do?..........No. Actually, I could care less about the Williams sisters and I really, really, have no interest in tennis. I would also say I wish them no ill will. But there are issues with the Williams sisters.........and those issues are more of an issue because of who the say they are....they both say that they are Jehovah's Witnesses.....remember that.........it is their own words. The problem isn't so much that they are what they are, but moreso that the rest of the Jehovah's Witnesses appear to be a bit befuddled about them.
In the past, the Williams sisters have been seen participating in Nationalistic displays such as carrying the US flag at the Olympics.......no big deal, really, except a JW kid is not even allowed to recite the Pledge Of Allegiance at school. There is a certain level of hypocracy in play. I have suggested before that it may well be that the Williams sisters get away with what they get away with because they have quite a bit of money.............and they probably donate heavily to the Watchtower. Remember Michael Jackson?.........yep.......he was a JW too and made Christmas albums with the entire Jackson Family while being JWs........I suppose the money was rolling in to the Watchtower...........but something went awry when Michael made that Thriller video........so awry that he tried to cool the Watchtower jets by putting a disclaimer on the video that it did not reflect his beliefs. Needless to say, that didn't work. Recently, one of the Williams sisters was ticked off during a tennis match and was caught on tape offering up some choice "witnessing". People were shocked at her ferocious display of anger..........such violent behavior......very unbecoming of a JW, right?
And now the latest hubbub has been the choice of clothing on the tennis court...........clothing that was designed by her.............I can't imagine seeing Jehovah's Witnesses going to people's doors dressed like this..........but yet........if they did, they might be able to pawn off more magazines than ever. I suppose I could spell it all out here but there is a YouTube video that takes care of it all.........even to the extent that the man makes a phone call to the headquarters of the JWs, the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society in NY, to ask if Venus and Serena are Jehovah's Witnesses. I found it amusing because I have done that as well in past years. I have called Kingdom Halls and their headquarters and broadcast it to the planet on Paltalk. Nothing is better than their own words...........check out this video:
Perhaps this is what they will all be wearing in the "New System" of things..............then again..........if you call the Watchtower and ask them for the official word on it the answer you may get is "We don't know".
Oh......and by the way.........remember that recent comment that needed to be addressed?.......well, here it is:
"dollface said... i got to the point to believe that you really really hate JW,and i bet you're a exJW, cos you dont dont really have a point on what your talking about,this is between serena ,her sister williams and jehova, not between you and the organization,im not a JW but i can see what's going on, you just hate them with not reason,you want people to leave JW because what the williams just did ? you're so stupid, not a JW can respond for the williams action,only the williams can."
Hmmm, so because I wrote about the Williams sisters I must really really hate JWs? That is amazing stuff. And Dollface bets that I am an "exJW"..........ROFL.......THAT is hilarious. And the reason that Dollface writes that is because I "don't really have a point on what your talking about"...........hehehe.........this is so funny.
Folks, the JWs always come up with stuff like this in regards to the Williams sisters. Rather than confirm or deny, they simply level some lame insults and then claim that everything is between the Williams sisters and Jehovah.........and let's not overlook that it was written that it is "not between you (meaning me) and the organization".............I must point out that to the JW, the organization IS Jehovah, or at the very least their organization is the equivalent. Oddly, this same commenter wouldn't make the same statement regarding the Williams sisters if it were Dollface or a member of Dollface's family doing the things like the Williams sisters do. That's about all I care to respond to. The rest of the comment is just more bilge.
For the record..........it is obvious to me that folks like Dollface are lost souls who have nothing in them to explain anything.............zero. How could anyone ever expect such to be adept at the bible?
And also, for the record, I have never been a JW nor have I ever entertained such a notion.
Ole Signtopia is gonna be busy this Fall. For starters, me and Supernurse are heading off to Texas again for ten days to visit our daughter. Then, in October, about two weeks later, we will be heading to Mexico for vacation.............oh yeah right..........that's right......Signtopia is always on vacation.
