    My Husband, and I were driving doing errands. We had passed this Carpet Cleaning business. He then started laughing I looked at him weird as I always do and I said "What's so Funny?" He said that he remembers that place as being Evil. I asked "Why?" He then said that "Brother H" told everyone not to go there because it was called Service Master. That had meant that they are Servicing the Master and the only Master we should service is Jehovah.

    We both laughed pretty hard on how stupid that is. Also how pathetic we believed it to be true. That is some sad brainwashing.

    Does anyone else have stories like this?

    Well, there was the time that I overheard the circuit overseer counselling a person because they referred to the congregation that shared our hall as "the other side". He said we are all on the same side.

    How do people get through life with so little understanding of the language?

    There was a brother back in the 70's who told us not to do street witnessing in front of a certain men's clothing store on a popular corner right downtown. The store was "The Gay Blade" and we were told people might get the wrong idea.

    Geesh!

    Hah, it's even funnier if you think of how that particular witness urban legend undoubtably got started: think about how many Witnesses were carpet cleaners. Now think about how you could convince people not to use your competition. Yep, I'd be dollars that's exactly where that came from.

    You'd think that "bloody" being a Catholic profanity, the Dubs would be happy to use it!

    I remember being told by Elders, never to use the YMCA, take things or buy things from Salvation Army store. Never buy cakes or goodies from Churches selling on the street because we would be league with demons. Never contribute to any charity connected to religion because the churches are Satan inspired. Oh lord it goes on and on. LOL LOL
