  Many of the negative comments offered here are only the product of warped minds, disgruntled ex-members, and plain liars. Lots/most comments here are taken out of context, crazy reasoning only by unruly people.

  Gustv, I have no problem agreeing with you when you are right. However, as one who attended, I can attest to most of the comments here regarding the actual program. I am not a disgruntled ex-member, nor do I have a warped mind. I simply see the Pharisaical attitude of the GB, teaching commands of men as doctrine. Nothing here was taken out of context, and there is no crazy reasoning by unruly people.

  It was great, children behaved beautifully, and afterwards a group of us went out to eat. Nice!

  Yes, children behaved beautifully where I was, too. Glad you had a nice meal afterward.

  Wow, I'm listening and the comment, "The homosexuals who designed these clothes like you in tight pants."

  Seriously, what a hateful jackass.

  Outward image of the organization has always been a paramount importance and why shouldn't since JWS are being trained and indoctrinated to be

  the WTS's own sales representatives toward the public. So of course looks and appearance is going to take precedence .

  The Test your faith talk has been done continuously for decades, its meant to stir up the sheep to go out and express their faith to Jehovah in service

  (gathering more sheep) so the WTS can exploit these new ones of selling literature, labor and money.

  Its a package deal more or less, but its all contrived and endeavored to create guilt and shame.

  and ....

  The Test of faith most likely has to do with the fact that the WTS. has been propagating false misleading information

  to the public for over a century and just out shear fate or bad timing, there is the INTERNET and the beginning age of

  information that exposes all of those commercialized lies and corruption.

  Remember folks your going to be presented with " The Truth " about the organization, so when you see it remember to repel it.

  While criticizing someone's prayers, he says, "He loved God, I know that."

  Then why are you criticizing something as intimate as a conversation between a man and his creator? How awful. Seriously, not even the way a person chooses to speak to their creator is above criticism? I certainly hope that man, who genuinely loves God, wasn't still alive to hear himself used as an example of how not to pray. Do not judge lest you be judged, Tony.

  "Many of the negative comments offered here........"

  So, which of the negative comments offered here do you classify as otherwise? "Many" does not mean all.

  I personally have to laugh at the "trading position for pu**y" idea to get more brothers to be MS's. Maybe young brothers will listen if they get tired of downloading porn.

  I think the GB may encounter the Obama phenomena in which anger follows dissappointment and lowered expectations.

  WOW! You guys have it all wrong! Specially you GC!!!! I have come to expect more of you!!!

  Did you not see the faith testing announcement? There is a reason it was “testing”! It was hidden, somewhat subliminal! You should be ashamed of yourselves! Had you been paying attention, such as a spiritual person like me, you would have seen noticed it.

  Had you not learned anything? Did we not study already that Jesus spent thousands if not millions of years learning from his father, Jehovah?

  Did you not see what Bro Morris said? If your kid is not an MS by age 23, you are a bad parent!

  Would your faith not be tested if you came to find out that your beloved God is a bad parent? I mean, c’mon, how worst can it possibly get? Jesus did not even get baptized by age 23, much less become an MS. What kind of father spends millions of years teaching his son with such poor outcome?

  Its official guys! We got not God anymore other than the GB

  Ok, I'm now convinced that GC is NoRoomForGeorge reborn.

  Dang! That's it!

  I usually can spot his reincarnations, this time he got me.

  Well played, sir!

  StarTrekA, those coments about sons not being servents I am sure bothered my sister who has a newly married son who is only 21. But of course she'll just bury her head in the sand as usual. It's just sick and so very sad. The wated lives. The lost potential really burns me up!
