Nice to see the “Naked Kidnap” has gained wider acceptance. I’ve said too much! :eek: ---

Cripes, what congregation are they in? The ones I attended were as boring as a Nebraska rest stop. I’m guessing these folks will soon be disfellowshipped for being so interesting. ---

With the snow in the photo, I was prepared to suggest that paradoxical undressing due to hypothermia could have been involved in them being found naked. (The story is actually from last November). Apparently not, though. According to the article, four of them–all of them except the girls’ mother–were changing clothes, then abruptly stampeded out in a panic without getting dressed. That timing strikes me as…odd. ---

The story is bizarre and though I strongly oppose naked kidnapping, this made me laugh out loud: > [@Edmonton Journal](#): > > “The man was put in the trunk and ordered to chant “Jehovah” ten times.” BLASPHEMY! ---

Quick question: simple mistake/typo, or did you misspell Jehovah because you know Witnesses really hate that? ---

I will admit to some rumbles with the JWs, but this is a new one on me.
