doesn't matter if its true or not after all anything that is said from the stage is true anyway because the elders say so.

Open mind
JWs are instructed to carefully make sure that the "experiences" they use in talks are either verified from first-hand knowledge or are taken from WT publications. Secular sources used as quotes in talks should be carefully verified as well, and of course, it would be safest to quote a secular source that the Watchtower has already vetted.
I'm serious. Those are the instructions. They're just routinely blown off.
Just don't go nosing around into the veracity of quotes the Watchtower uses. That wouldn't be showing full confidence in the Faithful Slave.

My all time favorite -
Where the brother 1 was counsling brother 2.
Later brother 1 was told that he was giving counsel to the wrong brother so he went to brother 2 and apologized and asked why he had not said anything.
brother 2 replies: I just enjoyed the counsel.
I realy love it when on 2 different occasions people tell that story in first person as if they were the ones giving the counsel.
After hearing it being used by my PO, then other elders in my cong, then at the CA's and DA's. I was like what a crock of socks.

When I was still in, there was a CO (my wife and I call him "bruce almighty") who said the newspaper article about louderback wood's tort on blood was all lies. I asked him which part was a lie and he said he didn't say they were lies he lied to me. There was another woman in the cong who approached me and asked me why he said there were lies in the article and I told her he denied saying that.

Great job, but it's dissapointing that everyone else in the room just believed him. It's not like they will be watching CNN or any other news centre for accuracy. I hope you expressed your displeasure to your wife.
Oh you bet I let her have it...right there in the parking lot...She just gave me the "JW stare" (you know that deer in the headlights look) and then went to her book study! Unbelieveable...

Never let the facts get in the way of telling a good story!
