I admit- I make my TMS talks apostate

  hello (not a new user - had to reregister with the site revamp)

  I look for every way to make my 5 minute talks devoid of WT flavor. I try to be positive -talk about God's love for humanity. Avoid any mention of Armageddon or the GB-if possible. I get the nicest compliments afterward.

  So - I will miss that aspect. With the tight control of parts going forward - the ability to personalize the message (even for a believer) will be diminished.

  I used an outline from a Baptist Website on my last talk. (By suggestion from a forum member.)

  i delivered it with a beer buzz.

  got so many compliments. Lol

  I avoid mentioning the GB atogether. In fact I explained in one of my talks how we are the children of God which is why Jehovah is our father. The school overseer just made some quick remark about the children of God, but no eye brows raised regarding my talk which was in WT eyes completely apostate.

  Cappytan - I use other religious sites for my talks too. in fact the illustration used in one of my talks was taken directly from another Christian website and had several people tell me how much they enjoyed my talk and illustration :-)

  When I was elder I would always say things that would irritate the hard nosed company men. I did this for years. Maybe the seed for awakening was planted many years ago. I would say things like: "Now the hours you put in field service are really not important. When Armageddon strikes, no angel is going to be digging through the publisher card file and checking who is a low hour publisher." Or, "Jehovah doesn't care if you are an elder, pioneer, ms- those things mean absolutely nothing to him. What matters is that you are a kind person in your heart..." No wonder the elders hated me. But like yourself, the congregation embraced it.

  I give my talks completely in the nude, and lubed up from head to toe. The sisters LOVE it, of course, although a few seem uncomfortable. I also usually draw the word "apostate" on my forehead, with a black sharpie marker. In fact the last talk i gave, i just kept saying the number 1914, over and over, for the whole 5 minutes. I got a "G" from the overseer, of course, he LOVED it.

  In one of my talks I expounded on the need for a good education.

  The WT overseer came up afterwards and said how much he enjoyed the talk.
