I swear, you can't make this shit up!
For years and years growing up in this cult, I had to constantly hear from my parents, from the stage, in the literature, about "Keeping your eye simple", not being "materialistic", not "having a showy display of one's wealth." Of course, this never seemed to apply to the wealthy business owning Elduhzzzz who ran and Lorded it out over the Congregations, but I digress.
Ladies and Gentleman, I give you: The Governing Body.
I first noticed this blatant flaunting several years ago with several GB members, as well as some of the higher up GB helpers. Anthony Moron da Turd, Lett-the-Clown, etc. Rolex watches, gold pinky rings, gold cuff links on French cuffed dress shirts, fitted suits, etc. It's totally in your face if you know what you're looking at. I think the GB are betting that most JW's are rubes, poor uneducated SUCKERS who wouldn't know a Rolex from a Timex, because most JW's would never be able to afford to set foot into a Rolex AD or fine high-end watch shop. But I do. I know what the hell I'm looking at, because I've probably owned $50,000 of watches in my lifetime. Easy.
Newest GB member and real estate mogul (how convenient!) Judy Jedele shows up talking about Job not showing enough "humility" in some weird talk and basically beats the poor old guy down. I mean, WTF??? He lost his whole family and was near death, all in a bet between God and Satan that was completely unknown to him. Anyway, Judy shows up in a colourful fitted suit, French cuffed dress shirt with cuff links, and of course, a two-tone Rolex. Two-tone Rolexes sport REAL gold, and are on average a good $20,000 USD. I can't see the dial, but if it's a SERTI dial - Oh my! But I saw the clasp, and I know a Rolex when I see one. The IRONY that Judy would give this talk about "humility" all the while dressed to the nines in what would cost more than many JW's make in a year if you added it all up is absolutely jaw-dropping. (Rolex, fitted suit, shoes, jewelry. Could = $40,000, easy.) Truly, these clowns cannot hear and see themselves speaking. And in these times, they also apparently can't "read the room."
This in-your-face display of wealth from supposedly "humble Princes among men" is so over-the-top as to be simultaneously insulting and comical at the same time. I mean, you can't make this shit up! These are the same clowns that demand all of your time, tell the rank-n-file to quit their jobs to Pioneer or volunteer to build JW real estate, tell kids to donate their ice cream and allowance money, etc. And don't forget the "Estate Planning Brochure", used by your local Elduhzzz to guilt your parents into donating every last dime to WatchTower instead of leaving it to their children as the bible actually instructs. Or how about donation boxes at refugee camps? The audacity!
Here's a link to the Reddit thread discussing Judy's weird talk, and it has video embedded showing his obvious Rolex watch and other jewelry. As I've stated many times before, this is NOT the same cult I grew up in. No! This is now a televangelist cult spectacle of disgusting proportions. My parents must be spinning in their graves.
