Well, it's that time again. The Watchtower Society is taking requests for calendars once again, for a "voluntary" donation to the Worldwide Pedophile Protection Society. But, what's su special about these calendars? After all, I went to a supermarket and bought a real one for about $10 (and that was full price, including real art work).
Those theocraptic calendars are quite small. Opened, the whole thing is about 12" X 10", if that. There is a space, for two months, that is about 5 X 7"--I forgot the exact dimensions, but they are tiny. And the boxes are so small that there is barely room for anything. I wonder if those idiots that print these things up realize that, in that tiny space, one has to write down dentist and doctor appointments, theocraptic assignments, your time in field circus, and reminders that have to do with work and school meetings. Where in that tiny box are you supposed to write those things down?
I suppose they expect everyone to have the same schedule all the time. There are no appointments for anything. Just endless service. And never any holidays, save for that Crapmorial. And they always manage to put in the daily Bible reading for that Crapmorial in the tiny box, precluding a meeting at school or work, or a doctor appointment or that jury duty you have coming a week before the Crapmorial (whether or not you serve, you still have to report or phone in).
As if the nuisance of not having anywhere to record upcoming events isn't enough, I have noticed that there are no upcoming events! Most worldly people have holiday parties and birthdays to look forward to. But not so the Witlesses! They are supposed to continually screech around in field circus with never a break in the pattern. This just wears a person down quickly--and there is no real joy in field circus.
And the pictures! Those are pathetic. They are supposed to depict theocraptic events or places in the Middle East. Who in the USA or Europe gives a crap about these areas, since the troops are in Iraq and the maps mostly depict Israel? Besides, those maps are hopelessly out of date. They were up to date when Jesus was on Earth or when the Old Testament was written up, but that was before they developed the infrastructure and altered the surface (plus natural things altered the features). And I am not going to display a picture of Jesus that may or may not be close to accurate, a picture of a meeting as they are depicted in the first century by the Tower, or something else that sets up background for their fairy tale. Hey, if they ban their members from displaying crosses and holiday ornaments, why should I have any of their items on display?
