During the book study, the book study conductor said, "If I were to visit each of your homes right now, as Jehovah's clean witnesses, none of you should have dirty dishes in the sink, that should have been taken care of before you came to the book study". Hass ole.

There had been a major earthquake in Mexico if I remember correctly. Hundreds dead and thousands without food, shelter, and water. A huge humanitarian disaster. An elder said, "News like that makes my heart leap with joy because it proves we are living in the end times." He had a big smile on his face when he spoke. Heartless, sick prick.

1: Talking to an elder as to why the society is not taking action against my wife's molester father and other molesters, he said "Well , can't because maybe we could judge someone who is innocent!" 2:Recently a friend who's father died after being very quiet in the ministry and meetings for some time had a local elder come to her door , and as he was telling her how low spiritually her father had been he proceeded to give an illustration by gestures......crouching down he says "this is a spiritually weak man" ...and then gradually coming to an exaggerated upright stance he "this is ME a spiritually strong man !, MAYBE Jehovah will ressurrect him!" This was supposed to encourage her in her loss!!!!! I worked with this guy in FS and he is always gives these wacky and sometimes cruel illustrations even from the platform. I'm so glad I don't have to put up with this human refuse anymore!

Funny you ask this because I was thinking of this last night.........I remember a CO's wife telling us how she and hubby were "tested" at a funeral......Seems the brother that died had a relative who had DA'd himself at some point and was (obviously) at the funeral. There was a get together afterwards at one of the relatives' homes and the DA'd relative was naturally there.
Sister CO related that neither she nor her hubby had eaten lunch that day and were quite hungry by the time the funeral was over and planned on snarfing down some goodies at the get-together. They were shocked and most distressed to find the DA'd relative at the get-together. Brother DA'd wasn't making a fuss, didn't attempt to force any Dubs to talk to him and talked quietly with some of the relatives. However, Sister CO wanted to "remain loyal to Jehovah" by "not even eating with such a man", so both she and her Superfine Apostle husband both went hungry and refused to eat any food at the get-together. She found it to be "a test" but somehow the Holy Speerut "sustained her" and she didn't eat anything.
Yep.......I imagine Jehovah was reeeeeeeally really worried about that one.

We used to have a 15 minute intermission after the Sunday talk... you guys remember that?
Well the brother who was doing the announcements said... "Brothers, Sisters, lets all stand and for the next 15 minutes have relations"... me, I was 15..that was right up my alley, I laughed my ass off.
My uncle was visiting, he was a very funny man... he said, "well, I'm going to visit this hall more often"... LOL!
I remember as a young man thinking about a few sisters I wanted to have relations with.. LOL! Hell, I was 15, I wanted to have relations with just about anything... LOL -

Being told by an elder "little sister nj, just think you will never have to go to high school in this old system. You probably won't even get to middle school" I was in Kindergarten. Well I managed to finish high school, college, get married have kids and now my kids are in college!
