"The Simpsons" - Is Ned Flanders based on a Jehovah's Witness? Did you have one?

Witness 007

A self serving, self rightoues, judgemental fool who's favourite swear word is "Fudge" did you know any "Flanders" types at the Kingdom Hall. We had a Special Pioneer who would mention "the wonders of Jehovah's creation"...while we were cleaning the Kingdom Hall toilets!!!

Witness 007

One more thing......................STUPID FLANDERS!!!!!!!!

fulltimestudent

nice word picture w/007 - staring down the gurgle hole at the brown stains and exclaiming , 'the wonders of Jehovah's creation. ' He sure got that right.

But I'm wondering if he wasn't one step ahead of you. Is he still a jw?

Did he also have the Cheesy Mustache?? like Ned LOL

Anyone with that type of Stash is excluded of course......

There are lot of Neds in the world some you will find at the Kingdom Hall and other churches as well.

Ned Flanders is a universal and stereotypical character that you would identify in many places and religions.

Gosh diddly cupcakes !

Darth, my dad (active JW pioneer) has the Flanders mustache! LMAO!

Nah, Flanders is more of a fundamentalist, right-wing, conservative Christian. In a lot of ways he's a bit more extreme than even a JW. Although, at some point after his wife died, he did commit fornication. So...given that his sin is known to us all, he would have been expelled from the JWs after a committee held in his absence.

Funny depends on your Rake in the Hall for the "Fornication" thing....

Well that was the key factor. If it was some second-base, clothed activity, I doubt there'd be a big issue over it, especially if it only happened once. Apparently, it's not a big deal if no one knows about it.

But 'The Simpsons' have already made a clear distinction about JWs on the show. That one episode with Marge with the new doorbell, the other where JWs ran out when she went to get lemonade. The producers of the show were sure to let the audience know whose idea the former joke was, so they could direct their hate mail to him. Nice.

Absolutely had one!!

Mustache, speech impediment, OCD. The only difference was that Ned Flanders has a heart and a conscience.
