The recession isn't going to end.
Woops! Jehovah must not read the newspapers - the recession "officially" ended last year.
Vampires are evil and demonic. The main reason is not because of their consumption of blood, which you would think is the big no-no. But the real problem here is that they are immortal! Immortal fictional characters are of Satan!
"Immortal fictional characters"....now where {Bible} might I have read {Bible} fictional stories involving {Bible} immortal characters?
Sports are controlled by the demons and there will be no sports in the "new system".
So for God's sake, what do the demons have against Cleveland?

1. The recession isn't going to end. Things are screwed because the demons are controlling the world. Because of this demonic control, worldwide economics are going to get worse before "the end" comes.
So the demons either were not controlling the world when the 1930s depression ended, or else they kind of took their eye off the ball?
Anyway, wasn't Christ supposed to be ruling since 1914?

We had an assembly over a year ago where they had a demonstration about a brother purchasing some kind of iphone or smartphone. His internal monologue showed how he was concerned that he'd start missing studying and other theo activities since he'd be spending SO much time just LEARNING the damn thing! It had a manual bigger than the bible in the demonstration! Not to mention now he could view porn on it! Of course, I challenge you to find less than 50% of elders that don't have some kind of smartphone. It's completely ludicrous to have an assembly part on this.

OUTLAW,
This is not TOO old article:
*** w04 7/1 p. 27 A Satisfying Life Despite Heartaches ***
Although the school consisted of an intense Bible study course of approximately five months, Nathan made sure that the students had some recreation. During earlier classes, he joined in ball games, but later he did not play for fear of injury that might interfere with his attendance at summer district conventions. He opted instead to be an umpire. The students were delighted when he outrageously bent the rules in favor of the foreign students who played.

I once personally observed uber-GB-holy_man Schroeder playing baseball with his kid Judah-Ben in the parking lot during the congregation servants school he was teaching us back in early 1970.

2 - An insane demo on wearing suits when eating out after a DC. Elder counsels a younger guy (inferred that he was a MS) about wearing shorts and a polo shirt to go to dinner after the DC. This dork was wearing his badge, BUT no, not good enough. The young man goes back to his room to change into his convention outfit before going to dinner. Audience reaction (based on some joking conversations afterwards I had with some elders/ms, rolling and head shaking.
We had this same lame demonstration, and I remember now that several times the issue of dress (especially for women) came up in different talks. The bottom line is that the powers that be feel that sisters are dressing like tramps and/or hobos. If they're not sashaying around in stiletto heels and with plunging necklines, then they're going out in the field service with flip-flops. On three occasions, they mentioned the little flyer about how to dress when visiting the Bethel facilities. If you're not dressed to code, you fail as a servant of Jehovah the Governing Body.
Regarding television, I wonder how our previous circuit overseer would have felt about this. He had satellite television hooked into his apartment below the kingdom hall. I am not sure if the congregation paid for this or if it was a gift from one of the elders.

Your right Tito.. It`s not that old..
Unfortunately if an Older Teaching goes against a Newer Teaching,the Newer Teaching wins..
It`s called "New Light"..

I remember the article (it will be denied now) where the TELEVISION was called "the eye of Satan in your home."
They also criticised the sheeples for wanting VCRs then propmtly released Videos.
They dont know their ARSE from their ELBOW.
