Sith how true, you never see a JW disfellowshipped for gluttony. Just something interesting I would like to add, you don't have to be fat to be a glutton either.
I wonder how many of the GB smoked before they said No more Smoking. Or I guess if you were a good christian you wouldn't smoke. Whatever.

How about driving through the upper-class neighbourhoods, while in the "field ministry", picking and choosing which home they are going to inhabit after armageddon destroys the present owners.....that one stunned me beyond belief!!!

You can't be in the car alone with a member of the opposite sex. because they all know you're gonna do the wild thing at the next stop light.

Dear god, where do I start?
- You can get DF'd for celebrating birthdays or Christmas
- You are DISCOURAGED from doing charity work
- You can invest a hundred grand in the stock market, lose it and no one cares, but if you spend $1.00 on a lottery ticket and win, then you're a greedy bitch and be disfellowshipped.
- You are discouraged from making anything of yourself in this world
- Four door cars are a sign of righteousness
- You have to have two eye witnesses that can verify that someone molested a child before they'll do anything.

Not to mention a lot of dubs I knew were the most materialistic people I have seen on the planet but you were criticized for trying to better your lot in life.
