    Massachusetts Saturday Afternoon Fall 2005


    Here is a talk that Anthony Morris gave at a local congregation in 2005, titled ''Beware of the Birdcatcher.'' He has everyone laughing in stitches in the first fifteen minutes. The congregation loves every minute of his talk. The sad part is that there are many lies and exaggerations throughout the whole talk. Here is one experience that is hard to believe!

    A young woman who is studying with the Jehovah's Witnesses shares a brochure with a local Catholic priest. He enjoys what he reads and decides to leave the priesthood. The young woman and the priest soon get married. They both begin a study. The priest comments:

    '' What I have learned in a few weeks I could not have learned in 10 years in the Seminary."

    Really? The priest resigns, gets married, an learns more from a brochure than years at a Seminary school. Here is what you study at Seminary school:

    In seminary, you'll spend your years studying philosophy, Latin, Greek, Gregorian chants, dogmatic and moral theology, exegesis, canon law, and church history, just to get you started. Program length varies based on prior education and the amount of time you can devote to it, but a typical student enrolls in four years of graduate-level theology, and zero to four years of undergraduate philosophy and/or spiritual years.[

    Names or it didn't happen.

    In Britain.....What city?

    Young woman...What is her first name?

    Local Catholic priest...What Parish was he from and what was his first name?

    How soon did the priest leave the priesthood and how long did they date before getting married?

    O.K. TONY...THE CONGREGATION ENJOYED YOUR FAKE EXPERIENCE BUT SOME OF US ARE SCEPTICAL?

    Why doesn't he mention their names? There could be a number of reasons

    - it didn't happen

    - it did happen but the story is exaggerated

    - now 14 years on, are they still JWs today?

    Listener, youre right, it's possible he's just repeating a story second or third or even fourth hand that really did happen, or that both left the faith eventually. But it's just so contrived, so convenient, and it sounds like so many other contrived, convenient stories these people tell. Why wouldn't he want to put names to that? Why wouldn't they, the people who supposedly did all this, want to put their names to that? They have nothing to be afraid of, it's Britain.
