What's your favorite stereotype that is used by the WT?

Chemical Emotions

I like the "sudductive woman with long dark hair", for one. VERY funny pictures.

The most annoying one, to me anyway, is that absolutely everyone who attends a university is utterly selfish, greedy, hell-bent on becoming rich and famous, and will become a fornicating drug-addicted evolutionist along the way. Oh, and then not find a job related to their degree afterward.

It's got to be the stereotype for appropriate men's casual dress - hands down!

Cream slacks, belt, pastel-coloured polo-shirt tucked in, no trainers.

They may as well say: "We want you to all dress like it's the 1950s. The rule of thumb is that whatever people were wearing 60 years ago is appropriate for modern dress."

Whenever a WT article is discussing putting secular work ahead of theocratic activities the accompanying photo is of a well dressed white collar worker sitting at desk/computer (the kind of job that typically requires a degree) pretty much 100% of the time. (Read: people who choose desk jobs are materialistic.)

I don't know about your hall, but in every hall I've ever been in, the white collar workers all have 9-5 salaried jobs and paid vacation; it is the tradesmen that skip service/meetings for work.

"Oh, Br. Electrician would be here but he needed to get the wiring done before Br. Drywall can start."

"Br. Plumber can't make it today because he's stuck on a side job this weekend replacing a water heater."

People who leave "The Truth" have miserable unhappy lives living in a selfish immoral lifestyle, and are only happy when they return to "The Truth".

Oh and another one: People who are successful in life, but vaguely unfulfilled who then proceed to sell all their possessions and move to BF Nairobi where the "need is greater". Now they sell rusty nails for a living, making 12 cents a day, and live in a tin hut with holes in the roof, but they are "so happy" to be "serving Jehovah".

Youngsters in the 'world' are always portrayed drinking, smoking, letching, taking drugs, pointing a gun, a snarl on their face or their hands wrapped round someone's neck....

whereas JWs are the epitome of clean wholesome living, girl or boy next door type, sitting round in a circle playing guitar...
