Question from a non JW...
Last year, my son and DIL and Grandbaby stayed at our place on their way to the DC. I noticed that my sweet little Grandbaby had her badge on. It had her first and last name on it, and underneath that were the words "Godly Obedience". Now, I have major issues about my son and his wife and the baby even being involved in this cult, but just seeing "Godly Obedience" really turned my stomach because although I don't know much about JW's, I do know that most of the obedience isn't to God. Anyway...I'm rambling here...my question is is there some sort of different "catch phrase" on the oh-so-necessary badges every year? Does the phrase somehow reflect the main theme of the convention that year? Just curious. Thanks!

"Badges?.............We don't need no stinkin' badges!".
lol... why didn't I think of that!
One of my favorite uses of that was in Weird Al's movie, UHF: "Badgers? Badgers?........ We don't need no stinking badgers!!!"

I was cornered as well for not having a badge, it was very rude. Talk about getting the 3rd degree

Very embarassing going to a restaurant wearing the badge and then 10 witnesses trying to convert the waitress.
We were instructed to do so in order to get Jehovah's approval

Wow it really has been a long time for me, They make you wear a badge? Oh I would so get a fake FBI or CIA badge or something, even better Geek Squad and tell them I am their leader.

"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark (Rev. 13:16-18).
