Oh - a couple more: Never touch fireworks, they were demonised and I could be infected. Don't eat ice-cream it contains blood.

What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?
by Funchback inthere were many addressed to me.
for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.
i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.

Probably one of most bizarre pieces of advice came from a CO's wife who said that I should ask to see a sister's record card before pursuing any romantic interest with her. -

Oh, and don't forget to bequeath your nest egg from the sale of your house to the organization when you die.
Interesting. Houses bequeathed to the WT society don't go on the market via estate agents but are auctioned off to the highest bidder. -

Here's an idea to make money off of JWs
by Funchback inan ex-jw ("apostate") should create a competitive business selling jw-related products as found on this site (check out the prices!!!):.

of course, you'd never mention anything about your "apostate" status.

There was once some talk about producing a disfellowshipping kit. It consisted of ear plugs so you couldn't hear the person, dark glasses so you couldn't see them and even a gag to stop you speaking to them. All it needed was a JW.org logo and you'd be all set to shun! -

Parrots Turn Carnivores.....Media Article ..Sure to get J.W.`s all excited .
by smiddy inthe first part was a heading in the herald sun newspaper tues.sep.15 ,2015 melbourne victoria .. , lorikeets and other parrots are becoming meat eaters---and researchers want to know why.. griffith university professor darryl jones has heard the herbivorous bird was eating mince left out by bird feeders in brisbane (australia ) "in two weeks i had about 500 emails from across the country all saying lorikeets were eating meat" he said.. that will surely get the faithful thinking the big "a" is almost upon us.. in the 1960`s i was told that buzzards and other carnivorous birds were laying twice as many eggs than was normal proving the big "a' was almost here.. here we go again.

I have an African Grey parrot. He will eat anything, chicken, chocolate biscuits, toast, Marmite, whatever. He'll devour a red-hot chilli in seconds. So the fact that parrots have been known to eat meat when it's available might excite JWs's, but to us parroteers it's perfectly normal. -

Is this a subtle clue that the leaders really see the "great tribulation" of the WT coming soon?
by never a jw insimilarly, we cannotexpect that the future interruption inthe great tribulation will result in aninflux of new believers.
rather, it willbe an opportunity for all true believersto prove their love for jehovah andgive their support to christs brothers.. (par.
7, page 16, wt july 2015).

I'd say that they're preparing to set a new date. The comment re not to expect an influx of new believers is simply to cover themselves in the event that they're accused of setting dates to actually get an influx of new believers!
There's so much "hidden" goings on in WT speak - any politician or salesman can see it a mile off.

If the monarchy were done away with, then we'd simply finish up with a prime minister and a president to replace the monarch as happens in France. Plus, the UK monarch does, at least in theory, have the power of veto over the government should they decide to vote themselves in perpetuity. The monarch also has no political axe to grind and therefore can be far more objective than an elected leader. -

It appears that around 70% of Brits are in favour of retaining the monarchy.
