A couple weeks ago my outta town dub uncles and aunts came in from Philly and of course being that the family is here WE ALL have to go to the We'redumb Hall. The WT topic was about jealousy, and the good parts and bad parts of it. The first thing I thought of is "Is god not jealous?" Basically saying, "I gotta have you serve me, and if you can't do that well I'm gonna have to kill you." I mean real Kathy Bates in Misery type $#!+. So the brudduh on stage when on to read some verse in the bible and then he said "We can replace the J in jealous with a Z and say that he is a zealous god. Well S of a B if we're just gonna go around replacing letters in words to make them into other words then what's the point in following the bible? They also made a point about clearing up misunderstandings between oneself and another so both can be understood. Uhh....what? So what about the guy at the door who believes strongly in what he believes? Do they try to understand or do they write them off as being a householder to avoid because he's a tough Brazillian nut? Also, who's more of the transforming into a beacon of light type? The householder or the JW? The householder (in demonstrations) mostly gives a negative response "Don't wanna talk right now, my (any random thing here) just (any random happening or event here)" and what does the JW do? They go and pull an Optimus Prime and say some junk like "Well what if I told you there'd be a time when (blankety blank) wouldn't happen anymore?" Isn't this a type of transformation? There was a "no", even though it wasn't strict enough, it was still a "no" and they rebuttal. They're like the telemarketers of the religous world.
This one is a doozie............

My brother has worked as a retail manager for more than 20 years now. I used to do a bible study with his wife. When she started attending the meetings, she once invited my brother to go. It was the night we were having the service meeting. After the meeting on the drive home I asked my brother what he thought about the meeting.
He said to me, "do you mean the sales meeting?". I was floored. I asked him what he meant and he said he runs sales pitch meetings and that the service meeting was exactly the same set up. Right down to giving a demonstration of the product you are trying to sell. And he also said the kingdom ministry was similar to an corporate newsletter about sales his company put out including the information on the current sales pitch and items to offer for the month.
You know I never thought of the service meetings in the same way again.

A JW told me with the sales and marketing training a JW gets they could use it to make millions on the outside.
He did.
He built up his sales and marketing business and sold it for 32 million.
