"But when she came to the end of her demonstration, Blondie thrust out her hand to return the sacred microphone to it's stand, for she would not wait for an appointed male servant of Jehovah to aid her. At that, Jehovah's anger blazed against Blondie and struck her down right there on the stage in front of the whole congregation for her irreverent act." 2 Samuel 6:6-7 N.W.T. Revised 2013, reinterpreted by me to fit the current circumstances (much like the Governing Body does with anything they pull from the Bible)

Being Bad in the Kingdom Hall
by Funchback inwhat things did (do) you or someone you know do in the kingdom hall that was a no-no?.
i remember in the 80s when, during the meeting, three friends and i were breakdancing in the foyer.
3 out of 4 us are happily out of that organization.. as i was trudging through my fade and attending meetings, i sometimes dwelled on how much time and money i wasted during my years as a jw.

Cart "Witnessing"
by Funchback inbesides being a waste of time for those doing it, and being an easy way for the society to inflate its reports of time spent in the ministry, cart witnessing is also taking up space.
i live in a hot city in brazil.
today, the jws decided to set up their cart in the shady spot of the bus stop, where people going to work have to wait for the bus.. ugh!.

The UNHOLY TRININTY of it's day. N.H.Knorr, J.F.Rutherford and H.C.Covington.
Notice the 'smiles' on the faces of Covington and 'Brownie' Knorr........both fawning over Rutherford like he was Jesus Christ himself.

TimeBandit, your work is FANTASTIC!
I thought of an animated parody that you could make based on the Wizard of Oz. You could call it: THE WIZARD OF A LOST CAUSE.
Wizard of a Lost Cause: JehovahScarecrow: N.H. Knorr
Cowardly Lion: J. F. Rutherford
Tin Man: C.T. Russell
Wicked Witch: Maria Russell
Munchkins: Circuit and District Overseers
Flying Monkeys: Evil Slave Class
Dorothy: Rose Ball or Berta Peale
Soldiers at the Castle: Dismissed members of the original Board of Directors
Uncle Henry: Lon Schilling or John Marcus or John Booth
Auntie Em: Ladonna Schilling or Estelle Marcus or Ethel Kadelchick (Ethel from Bethel)
Just a thought. Maybe some other ex-Bethelites have some ideas. Billy?

1930s Vertical Phonograph for Bethelites and Pioneers- of passing interest.
by Balaamsass2 injust thought this might be of passing interest to a few members.
we were unpacking some estate items from a 1930s bethelite and were confounded by his vertical phonograph.
lots of old rutherford books, and some trashed rutherford records, but the phonograph was something to behold.

"Grant Suiter always had nice suits"...................and if I remember correctly his wife was a walking Tiffany's jewelry store! Being the Overseer of the Office of the Treasurer sure had it's perks. You could have 'first crack' at all the jewelry that little old lady witnesses donated to the Society in their wills and then purchase high end jewelry for your wife at pennies on the dollar,as a donation to the Society, using 'green handshake' money that you received the previous weekend giving a 'service talk' at a Kingdom Hall in East Podunk, USA. Every time that I ever saw Lyman Swingle he always wore that double breasted, medium toned blue, 100% wool suit that looked like he bought it in 1938 and was made from the same crude material that a horse blanket would be made from. But his wife would have more jewelry on than Cleopatra and the Queen of England combined.
