25Anyone remember the stupidist of talks?
by letsslatejws ini remember a talk being devoted to use of the correct grammatical pronunciation of words.
in fact any elder or brother for that matter who didnt use the correct pronunciation was viewed as illiterate and dorky so the congregation snubbed them.... i remember the word machinations (of the devil) and the emphasis that it should be pronounced mack in nations.... another one was.
behove was meant to be pronounced 'behoooved'.

The JW elders have a remarkable amount of power bestowed upon them by the WTBTS and the members of their congregation; far more than you would ever imagine until the day you cross one of them!
They are expert liars and can twist anything to their advantage. They are respected by most authorities as honest and upright, so anything you have to say is wrong and they are right.
Anyone who thinks they are of no account; look out and be very careful.
They are in fact no better than a 'street gang' in disguise!
The KGB and the Stasi are mere kittens in comparison!
I know from very bitter experience!
