    TO ALL JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES: IMPORTANT RECALL NOTICE

    Your religion is being recalled. While it was once a relatively harmless-but-quirky little group, it has now been found defective.

    The religion has been found to...

    -Discourage the use of your brain in favor of allowing it's hierarchy to make all important decisions for you

    -Constantly alter doctrine & teachings, flipping and flopping more often than a caffeinated porpoise

    -Distort and even lie about important facts

    -Create a safe haven for pedophiles

    Please bring your religion in immediately for crucial adjustments. To schedule your appointment call 1-800-GET-A-CLUE now.

    WARNING: Continuing as a member of this religion may cause permanent cognitive dissonance, mental retardation and/or loose stools.

    Note to jw email: The source of the defect has been established. It eminates from all local kingdom halls. No need to repent and sell watchtowers. SIN actually means sociopathic indoctrinated nutbars. The cure for this ailment is to install a zipper on the heads of the governing body so there brains can be massaged.

    The maker of human beings is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary central component, or heart. This is due to a malfunction in the two original prototype units, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units.

    ...

    The manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory authorized repair and service, free of charge, to correct this S-I-N defect, at numerous locations throughout the world.

    I know this little story is supposed to be humorous but I can't help but notice something.

    A recall means that there was a defect in the product or an error in the design leading to malfunction. If Ford recalls one million cars due to bad wiring, then the designer of that wiring system is at fault. Ford, being the designer, or who authorized the design and subsequent release of cars with that design, is liable for any problems that arise from cars that malfunction due to defect.

    Now, according to this email, humans are being recalled due to a malfunction in the "primary central component". Since there was only one designer involved in this component, surely he would be liable and responsible for this malfunction.

    But notice how the recall notice tries to shift blame away from the designer.

    Again, I know this is supposed to be a light hearted approach to try to get people to the hall, but if God was perfect and can create only perfection, how did he allow the first two human designs out of the factory with a defect that subsequently defected all other units that came about later?

    Yes, I can remember elders telling depressed people that they must have committed some grievous sin if they are depressed. I remember an account in a publication where the WTS t ried to counteract that by giving an example where elders met with a depressed sister and kept suggesting that she had done something wrong. She finally asked them if she made up something would they help her. That is right up there with telling a sister who was raped that the ransom sacrfice covered over her sin.

    It's hardly original, except perhaps for the sentence "For further assistance, visit your local Kingdom Hall." http://www.itwillpass.com/philosophy_total_recall.shtml
