    PS: if there's anything wrong with anyone, it's Mr. Anthony Morris.

    There is clearly something wrong with him.

    Don't let him infect you with his mental disease.

    I should tell my wife and child, "There is something wrong with you if you are not in shape like me. Kid, how do expect to be married if you don't look better?"

    Is that abusive??? Can we get a Jesus meme quoting TOMO III??

    If you're a thinking adult over 45 and serving as a member of the Governing Body, there's something definitively wrong with you.

    This man is a vile example of a power hungry, worship hungry bully. He has nothing even vaguely Christian about him.

    Typical tyrannical cult leader. Wake up JWs, this man wants your worship.

    Isnt it true that most wars are fought over land, women, or natural resources (gold. silver, water)?

    The Org has a resource. The women. Now a man cannot have one unless he "reaches out" to do more for the Org.

    It seems so transparent from where I stand.

    It is sad - but oh so splendidly exposing - of this pea-brained man's mean-hearted tactics: Shame and embarrass the rank and file into action.

    I'm hopeful that the rank and file have enough common sense to hear his words for what they are: Desperate and manipulative.

    Besides, after a while, people who are repeatedly told they do not measure up simply switch off... and leave. I did. And so did the large group of other young ones I grew up with in my local congregation in the 60s and 70s.

    His words will not stem the exodus - indeed, they will likely speed it up. Nice one, Tony!

    When I was a JW my closest friend (now 34) would get panic attacks when he tried to comment in a question and answer, let alone give a talk. This is why he has never been an MS. Today I feel bad for him, I hope he has not heard this talk.

    If the government said that only men who enilisted in time of war should be considered marriage material people would go ballistic.

    But really, isnt this the same thing?

    Thank you Baltar. I think I missed the part about sisters only marrying those who are MS or elder.

    Here is an outline I made of some of the parts heard in the recording.

    ARE YOU A SPIRITUAL FAMILY?

    Apply Bible principles will not break Bible laws

    Always directed toward Jehovah and what is God’s opinion on activities, decisions, goals.

    • Bethel Visit Priority over Amusement Park: Psalm 119:105 – “Your word is lamp to my foot (goals/direction)…”
      • Have you ever visited Bethel? Have you been able to visit an amusement park? Explain that to God.
      • Self-Examination and Adjustment: I Cor 2: 1415 – The spiritual individual find joy in examining themselves spiritually.
        • Read daily text – how did it help them during the day?
        • Eat at least one meal together. Dining together fosters the family bond.
        • 3/15/14 WT – Make Family Worship a priority on regular basis.
    • Parental Responsibility for Children to Remain in Truth: Deuteronomy 6 – ongoing spiritual discussion a way of life.
      • Example of father of 7 children and youngest two never serve as pioneer or MS – son is 22 and not a MS. If you did not give enough time and attention then they will not serve Jah fully and you will be to blame – you are responsible if your children are not pursuing spiritual goals. You have to have your own personal relationship with Jehovah.
    • Appropriate Dress and Grooming: 1 Tim 2:9 – Women should adorn themselves in appropriate, respectful, modest, sensible dress.
      • Reflect on what you are wearing with respect to this scripture.
        • Does what I’m wearing showing modesty and soundness of mind?
        • Taste in socks – tasteful choice in socks should not be colorful socks.
        • 2/15/08 Awake – be modest in walking with our God; showing restraint.
        • We want people to not be too distracted by our clothing.
          • Women wearing “spanx” when they exercise – jogging in this “stuff” – to wear skintight “spanx or whatever you call it.” Don’t go out in public like that and then say you worship the true God.
          • Men wearing tight pants – metrosexual wearing tight pants and suits. That is not modest brothers; not appropriate or sound of mind. Be a “spiritual man” and don’t be seen in public ministry with someone wearing a metrosexual suit. Even the sisters don’t find this kind of suit appealing – you look more like a homosexual.
    • Entertainment that is appropriate will be chosen by those who love God due to their Bible-trained conscience. Make sure what is acceptable to the Lord.
      • Do not support violent, occult, sexual, obscene, crude movies/games/music. Your selection of this type of movie shows what kind of person you already are.
        • 1997 – Awake – Ps 11:5 – Anyone loving violence, God hates.
      • What would Jehovah and Jesus feel about your choice of entertainment?
    • Meaningful Prayers: Daniel 9: 4 – God shows loyal love to those who obey. Pray
      • Your prayers should all be unique and meaningful.
      • Don’t be afraid to explain your mistakes before Jehovah.
      • It is okay to cry while praying in front of others.
    • Blood Guilt - Ez 33:8-9 – Must share in preaching work or you will have figurative blood guilt.
      • This is life and death matter for ourselves and the others if we don’t do service.
      • Keep up with your official reporting.
      • If you don’t want to take on a Bible Study then you will have to take up that matter with God.

    As a former MS and Elder we never received anything close to professional training, certainly nothing even close to degree programs. It was shameful.
