  I also noticed the box for the next issue. How can attending a live performance lead to destruction at Armageddon? Is this the first thing that they are going to tear apart in banning all entertainment? Music shows are first: about the only thing I can see wrong with them is that they take time and money away from supporting the Puketower arrangement. Next I suppose they will ban live plays, then going to the movies, then watching any TV, then all games, sports, and anything else that's fun.

  And since when has blood transfusions always been a personal choice matter? That is about the most blatant lie I have ever heard come from this organization. Note that this was on the actual Watchtower magazine itself and not on some apostate Web site. Anyone who has ever lost a child for the blood issue, seen a Puketower gloating about how a parent would rather lose a child than disobey the Watchtower directives, or had that damn blood card filled out every year knows that it hasn't always been a matter of personal choice. Or, try telling someone who got disfellowshipped for taking a blood transfusion or that has been harassed by that *$ing committee to abstain from blood that it has always been a conscience matter. I suppose they are going to next tell you that your memory is wrong, even if everyone else agrees with it and it was consistent for the past 50 years. Try to produce an old blood card or Puketower magazine that glorifies those who died for the blood issue, and you will run the risk of getting disfellowshipped for apostasy.

  I sure hope they lay in a huge supply of S-77 forms for this one. They are going to need them.

  Now, if only this site was more consistent in posting instead of lagging all day, doing nothing, losing posts, and then posting it several times. One copy would be plenty.

  My favourite part was about the translation of the Hebrew root into Latin and back again, read upside down and somewhat resembling another Hebrew word! Classic scripture twisting at its best! But you shouldn't give the FDS any ideas...

  WTWizard,

  That was a JOKE!!!! NOT A TRUE ARTICLE!!!! Please don't go around saying you saw this in a watchtower, you will lose credibility, much like how you ran with June 12 Armageddon date. Speakers have always talked about Armageddon being "weeks away", as a scare tactic, but the Dubs don't put that stuff in print anymore or predict certain dates. If they did that NOW, they would lose, many, many members of their money making borg. Somebody here just threw out June 12 as a date as a joke, then a few here, ran with it, as not a joke. If we say these things around dubs or people with dub knowledge, we lose credibility. Then they say how ignorant the x-Dubs / apostates are, spreading "misinformation". Much better to use their own stuff against them, for "there is a multitude of transgressions".

  What truly impresses me about this sort of stuff is just how difficult it is to tell their real doctrines from sarcastic caricatures. The real doctrines are just as funny, when observed from a distance.

  Yanoo.....it is a problem that some Senior Citizens have that when they laugh suddenly and unexpectedly....well.....never mind.

  I was not PREPARED for that caption....(good thing I was not out in public when I read that....)

  I guess there is no need to add that I thought it was very funny....but I'm gonna say it anyway!

  Hugs,

  Are there really people who don't get that this is a spoof? It's brilliant satire (for a live example of "satire," see Jon Stewart's "fake news" show on TV).
