  Hello, everyone.

  I feel like I was in a coma for the past five years and just woke up. After seeing some videos posted on here showing clips from JW.org, I went there the see all the new bells and whistles they now have on their site. Man, how things have changed!

  I have a question about something that caught my eye. Most of the men doing the broadcast have rings on fingers on both hands. I admit that I left the USA four years ago and now reside in Brazil, so maybe it's just that I'm out of touch with recent U.S. culture.

  So, is it normal nowadays for people to have multiple ringed fingers or is it a Governing Body hipster thing?

  Hi Funchback,

  Nice to meet you! Lots of us have been talking about the pinkie rings and there has also been some discussion about certain watches as well as suits also.

  Heres something you may remember from years past that seems to fit the Governing Body of today...

  You may remember it - an oldie but still funny

  I have noticed that the clergy of Catholicism wear rings on their pinkies too. It seems like the clergy of the WT are falling into line with many older traditional religions.......when it suits them that is....They, the GB are dressed in the absolute best of suits with top of the range accoutrements. They have always coveted the money and wealth that other long standing religions had......namely the Roman Catholic and it's offshoots.

  The WT has knocked and heckled Christendom, whilst raking in the dough from ill informed believers.

  I have found so many JW sites through a JWtalk site ( a very pro JW site by the way) that is blatantly making money out of WT specific religious paraphenalia. I found this to be one of the most amazing hypocrisies of all time. I mean, really.........the society has always lambasted any religion that sold "images" and made money out of the business of worshipping God.

  I know I have gone off topic a bit here, but to me it all seems to point to the WTBTS wanting to have all the material "things" that other religions of Christendom took as a par for the course.

  You got that right. My wife and I are still in shock over it; we can't believe it. We can't believe what the religion we used to love has turned into.

  Like millie210 said, we on this board have noticed the rings and other stuff, too, and have been discussing such. The GB of today seems so different from that of days gone by. The whole organization seems to have taken on a new persona. It's interesting to observe the evolution of JWdom.
