The most irritating words of all:
LISTEN, OBEY and BE BLESSED.
i have words that irritate me and not always without reason.. my latest hate is the word: 'solutions' as used by so many businesses in their title these days.
y'know, 'something innane business solutions' and such balderdash.. i loathe that word now.
arrrrggghhhhhh!

we encourage all to be examples to the flock.. jesus stated, as recorded in matt 5:29 .
' if, now, your right eye is making you stumble, tear it out and throw it away from you.+ for it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be pitched into gehenna'.. we certainly do not want to stumble or, worse yet, be a stumbling block to the congregation.
evidently jesus was stating a principle here in matthew that he intended true christians to apply to all aspects of their lives and not just their eyes.
Let me see if I understand you correctly. In order to get baptised into your religion I need to have modest socks, right?
But the rings are no problem? Where do I sign up?!!!!!!!!

All kidding aside.........the sock issue is nothing new. I know of an ex-elder who disassociated himself and his family over 10 years ago. Part of his exit was triggered when he was counseled on wearing 'inappropriate' socks that were not fit for an Elder. NO JOKE!
just thought it was funny.
just a shame they couldn't switch the two around.. .

"Gulp down the camel:Hiding pedophiles in the congregation"- Blondie
Insightful comment, Blondie.
"In the same way, ON THE OUTSIDE (caps mine) you appear righteous to men (by your grooming and style of dress), but inside you are full of hypocrisy (hiding pedophiles ) and lawlessness (refusing to cooperate with Caesar's court and police system in dealing with pedophiles) MATTHEW 23:28 NWT 2013 revised

Anthony Morris III should be ashamed of himself. Nowhere in the Bible is Jesus concerned with socks, suits or spandex. People could respect the Governing Body and the individuals that make it up if they were more concerned with JESUS teachings rather than their own pharisaical pontifications. LogCon, the photos that you posted are an indictment of the lack of compassion for individual human beings in need from men like Anthony Morris. Yes who really is a 'spiritual man'? Someone that doesn't wear brightly colored socks or someone that cares for his fellow man?

With an 'elephant trunk' like Tony is packing, I think he is in the wrong business. What is the main study article in this edition of the Watchtower? CIRCUMCISION - IS IT FOR TRUE CHRISTIANS?
why else would he constantly bring up "gay-inspired" clothing when speaking to such large audiences?.
nothing wrong with being gay.
but he should just come out of the closet already and stop all this stupidity... just saying.. .
I can't stand the sight of Anthony Morris III and his speaking style makes me want to vomit. However, read this article and you may view what he said in his talk in a whole new light. I'm not defending him........................

He also criticized women for wearing tight pants, so he must secretly be straight as well.-Apognophos
Maybe he has bi-sexual leanings and he is so repressed that he fears being turned on sexually by either men or women. Only he knows for sure and the rest is only speculation by anyone posting here; including me.

I am not a big fan of Sigmund Freud but he had some good insights into human behavior and thinking. The part on PROJECTION seems very telling in regards to what comes out of Anthony Morris's mouth.

I don't Anthony Morris is 'gay'. In fact I don't think he is 'happy' at all.
