George! This made my day.

I am also a former Jehovah's Witness, born-in to the religion and very active/devout for many years. It was nice of Leslie to share her experience but she basically gave the Drunk History version of Jehovah's Witnesses. A couple of clarifications: - College is not banned outright but it is looked upon as an unwise, dangerous and "worldly" choice, one that a truly spiritual person would probably not make. - You can totes say totes. Maybe she was just joking about that. However, swearing, dirty jokes, gossip and angry speech are all no-no's. I feel like Leslie missed the chance to really address why Jehovah's Witnesses (and many other similar religions/sects) are technically a cult. Common thread characteristics of cults include Us-Vs-Them Mentality, Suppression of Questioning/Doubt, Behavioral Control by Leadership, Use of Shame and Guilt as Control Tactics, Isolation from Non-Member Friends and Family, Preoccupation with Recruiting New Members, Leadership Not Accountable to Any Authorities. With those criteria, the Catholic Church, Scientology, Mary Kay and Costco could all be considered cults. The commonly held definition of cult is heavy handed. I would call Jehovah's Witnesses a High Control Apocalyptic Christian Sect.

Lara Schoenhals is my new favorite Lauren Lapkus character. Looking forward to following her on her journey.

Hi Gang, I work part-time for an apparel printing company in Pittsburgh. Before I joined the operation, they didn't really have a website to speak of. I heard about Squarespace from Who Charted and I4H and decided to give it a shot. Here's the site: www.clockwisetees.com The site is performing well for us and we have gotten tons of positive feedback so far. Thanks!

When Armen said, "Ching Chong," I could hear Howard saying, "Jesus, Armen!"

Solid, fast-paced episode. Great job, everyone! One of my favorite recurring Whooch tropes is when Kulap drops some raw sexy talk and Howard reacts with a swift, "Jesus." I am not a big fan of Macklemore but his Bonnaroo performance was worthy of respect.

Episode 84 βDouble or Nothing
Isaac Kozell replied to JulyDiaz's topic in improv4humans with Matt Besser
Bill and Ted from the gas station sound like excellent dudes. -
At 33, I still don't know where I stand on war. That being said, smart, down-to-earth military people like Andrew give me more to consider in my attempt to figure it all out. So, thanks Andrew. Great episode!

This marks the second time I've downloaded a file called "Naked Oil Boy Fights." My wife was ok with this one.

Scott seems pretty excited about Maron, May 3rd at 10/9C on IFC.

"Read your Hawthorne, OLD MAN!" Damn, that was great.

"Don't step on a good joke, Cody." Howard putting it down!
