  1. "Publisher's Record Card" - makes it sound like you wrote a book in prison! Wait a minute ... may not be too far off after all.

  I think that "Wait on Jehovah" crap is the lamest excuse for counsel or help I have ever heard in my whole life. What this means when translated into reality is that Jehovah is stalling. You are supposed to wait on Him. Meanwhile, you are not supposed to keep Him waiting for you to go out and make those dronesdisciples. And Jehovah gets to sit there and not do anything for you at all. Should it happen purely by chance or if Satan the Devil decides to act ahead of Jehovah, then you are supposed to give all the credit to Jehovah (same if your own work gets you the result). But if Jehovah is successful in keeping the things hoped for from happening, you are still supposed to keep waiting.

  And in the meantime, maybe you should be giving up more. What about that Beatles' album? Got rid of that already? What about Frank Sinatra and Marvin Gaye? You got rid of the Christmas items? How about that old item you got 20 years ago for Christmas that doesn't even have anything to do with the holiday? Then there is picking up more service, getting those talks, going to someplace out in the middle of nowhere to help "where the need is greater", getting rid of that Game Boy, paying more attention to the meetings, putting more in the ministry, etc. By the time you are done, there is the next level before Jehovah will give in. He keeps it one step out of your reach, just so He can get more out of you and keep you screeching around in service and going to meetings.

  Not to mention that "Wait on Jehovah" means that, when you get nothing because the whole organization is a scam, you are supposed to keep on going along with the scam. You will get dragged along with the cult for your whole life, always waiting on that elusive will-o'-the-wisp that is supposed to have yielded to just studying (then going to one meeting, then all of them, then talks, then going out in service, then baptism, then pioneering, then getting each burdenprivilege in sequence, then missionary, then Bethel, and so on). Wait on Jehovah. That way, you will give up your whole life for a scam.

  Mr. Flipper here, if I ever told Mrs. Flipper I was her "spiritual head" she'd think I lost my head!! Also remember women advised to have the "quiet and mild spirit"?? Translation, listen to your authoritative husbands, respect their authority,be quiet and don't disagree. Also the "light gets brighter and brighter" was such a crock of S***. If you ask me with all the stuff going on now, child molestations, etc. The light is about turned off.

  "The rich spiritual banquet prepared by the FDS" introduction at assemblies.

  Wait on jehovah amounts to an evasion of responsibilities instead of helping a fellow member they draw back from doing so and try to cover themselves by saying that jehovah is the one that must help.
