steve2 - "I wonder whether the scenes with the Bethel firefighters were reminiscent in her mind of the dancing (and camp) firefighters in music videos of the 1970s group the Village People?"
"J-W-org, I wanna log onto J-W-org...
...It's got preachy cartoons, it'll teach you to shun, it advises the deaf not to have too much fun..."
The elderly in the Org, especially the ones that got old inside the org, are pissed and quite depressed because this man-made entity sold them a bill of goods their entire lives and nothing has happened yet!
Oh yes, something indeed has happened lately: Said Org robbed them of their KH funds and still have the odds its to ask for more donations.
I am not that old and I am LIVID about the whole thing! Part of the growing bunch that is now realizing the tremendous waste of time this has all been.

The odasity to ask for more donations?! Jerks!!!

The audacity of spelling "audacity" as "odasity".
Christian moral attitudes. have "fu**ed the minds of a lot of people way up.
I've thought of posting pictures of a "P*nis park" in South Korea, with hundreds or representations of phalluses. And, walking calmly around we can see family groups, I don't know what they talk about as they walk, but I guess the elderly sister of this topic would be getting a little hysterical by the time she got to the third representation.
If you want to see for yourself, just go to Youtube and type, 'penis park, south korea,' into the search box.
Like wise in Japan, they have a yearly P*nis festival, in which a giant representation of a *enis is carried through the streets by a team of near naked men. I think that traditionally they were naked, and maybe Caesar MacArthur, stopped that display of male pulchritude.
And in Bhutan, its hard to miss the display of male symbolism painted on the walls of houses as some sort of charm.
But, at least in the Anglosphere, we have to pretend that such an object does not exist. So please pity for a moment the poor sister and see her as a victim of screwed up, Christianity based, Anglosphere morality
This elderly JW, who is over 80, is only saying it as she sees it. Her son did not go into a play by play on the video up to that point but he sensed she was getting angrier the farther it went. Brothers in suits in Bethel dancing like young, worldly heathens. You can only feel sorry for her. Another pillar knocked out from under her belief structure. When the fireman and the 'thrusting chainsaw' came into view, it was the last straw for her. She was looking for something, anything and she found it. It may seem funny to us but not to her.
It should not surprise anyone that some would make such comments. Look at the member of the GB, Anthony Morris 3rd, going on and on, in public and before large groups of people, about tight pants, colored socks, not visiting Bethel and having to 'explain that to God', etc. A normally sane person [ if there is such a thing] would be shaking their head and viewing him with suspicion. What nonsense will Anthony Morris 3rd be uttering when he is 80 years old? This old lady probably struck out from frustration whereas Anthony Morris 3rd really believes it.
If all I have to explain to God is why I didn't visit bethel, I'll take that.
I wouldn't want to be in TOMO's shoes for everything he has to explain himself for.
