It's like the children's books, where you gotta find the object that diffrent.

then you gotta explain what's diffrent in the left figure -vs- the right figure.

Hamsterbait, good observation. You must have that 3 D version of the WT study article, eh? I've heard of those but, it's not available in our language yet.

The more I think about this photo it becomes disturbing. The way they have all conformed to a particular dress standard is not surprising but very outdated in this day and age, particularly with the men all dressed in suits, shirts and ties (except for one who is missing their jacket. The age of this group is a bit strange, there are more men, no young ones and no old people.

What disturbs me is the lack of bibles, it is possible that the guy with the grey suit and probably the oldest of the bunch may have his hand resting on a bible but it is not clear.

Is it normal in the meetings to have both a KM and a book being referred to at the same time? The problem with this is that it does not make it possible to 'juggle' a bible as well. The most dominant aspect of this photo is the org's publications and the attention paid to the speaker who is only using these as teaching aids.

The other weird aspect, as has already been mentioned, is the examination of this picture at the meeting and this means that individuals must form a judgement based purely on what they are seeing. That is all about outward appearances.

LISTENER - bibles are really heavy and have A LOT of extra words. Just study the "Bible Teach" book and shut the fuck up.

It's the facial hairyness of the bro on left who's looking down and not at the direction of the conductor, he needs to shave, he's ashamed and isn't properly attired since every other bro wears a coat and he doesn't. He's been tagged as BA and will be getting spoken to by the elder in the backroom before heading out in service for sure.

:-)))

Yeah, it's a cult!

Maybe he has a tablet or Iphone and it cant be noticable.. I soon will - looking now - and am taking it to the hall to watch the eys and halos go up! Getting Asus Tablet transformer primce -- quad processor, should cause alittle stir but at the CA there were several folks usning the tablets to take notes.

On another not, does anyone know how many times the inference to "OBEY" was used - not as the specific word, but general wording and infusion of thought that leads to obey the fds and elders --I counted 7 in this lesson today... got a little tired of it in the paragraphs..

They also noted two examples - Abraham and Korah. They did not mention Jehu or Solomon - another two upstanding men who loved and left Jehovah!! Or for that matter Jehu who was so strong for Jehovah and killed people to show his loyalty, left jehovah. Now as we are Jehonadabs -we all know who they are, they have joined to Jehu when he was loyal - was Jehu an antitype of the FDS? If so, he left Jah, he became apostate, where does that leave the FDS and those of us who follow it today as they are always alluding to old testament bring antitypical of the new setup today.. just a thought If the FDS disloyal to Jehovah? Are we Jehonadabs disloyal to God also from following them?

Just a thought

Sometimes it is so hard to sit thru, the paragraph dealing with work, singleness was not even broght up in the answer -I think people are getting tired of it.... lets hope so --

Wait, was this really the point of the picture to find who was not submitting humbly? Did every, or most, congregations play that game? Or was it just the OPs?

If so thats a new level of crazy.

I studied this photo and I have concluded that the reason his head is down is he is browing the comments on JWN using his iPad. Come on people this is so simple.
