    some of the brothers - we know you who are troublemakers!

    WT lawyers - the real bosses

    Service Dept - numbers men

    Writing Dept - clueless wannabees writing 6th grade material - check out a good Bible Commentary for real insight.

    Special speakers - company puppets who get green handshakes

    Assembly / Convention speakers - brown-nosers who wine, dine and kiss up to CO / DO

    Outlines - follow this to the letter or be prepared to counseled, get a bad rating and never give a part again.

    Assembly & Convention Prayers - a talk that reviews the day and makes the legs & mind faint - over 5 minutes long now!

    KH Construction workers - overseers are attention seekers (bosses), workers are slaves who have to carry a card!

    Publisher - one to put the blame on for thinking the end is right around the corner, dates are miscalculated, not trusting Mother

    Organization - GB / Society - rulers (taskmasters) and oppressive burden pushers

    WT Rules - talmud of witless, endless jabber

    Suggestions - do this or else

    National Quota - do this amount or your not part of the club

    Songs - nursury rhymes that make one want to howl!

    Questions for Readers / Question Box - new rules and enforcement

    Family Worship Night - let's imitate the Mormons (look at their website & be amazed at their programs / suggestions for this)

    Baptism - legal binding formality that makes you a member for life in the club

    Other Sheep / Great Crowd - outcasts with no special connection to God or Christ

    Holy Spirit - sure makes a lot of mistakes (Casper the friendly ghost)
