Changing words and highlighting the absurdity can open eyes.
Thanks again, MissFit. I agree with your well-made points. !
Likewise, I have been offended by particular debasing terms, especially those that denigrate God. Despite my present confusion over the nature and personality of deity, still, I cannot "take the name of God in vain." Nonetheless, unworthy men who set themselves up as mouthpieces for God need to be taken down a notch or two . . . or three. . . .
Best.

Thank you both, MissFit and Spectre, for commenting.
I'm glad that some JWs can laugh at their higher ups.
Gratefully,

skin-tight pants are a no-no in public, church leader says,.
Some time ago a thread referred to the KKK's losing their redoubtable status due to public ridicule of the clan.
Any recollection of how the group diminished in stature because no one took them seriously any longer?

edited to add: kudos to the editor who caught that.
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.. .
Bell bottoms and flairs were the rage when I was at Bethel, circa 1970. Brother Knorr said wear them in your room or hallway, not anywhere else. My roommate brazenly wore his to the factory.
What stares he got . . .

i find it curious that so many are offended at the comments used by anthony morris iii.. when he publicly states that colourful socks, tight pants and spanx are not part of a christians life, he is teaching a lesson.
the lesson for the flock is not to wear colourful socks, tight pants and spanx.. however,.
the lesson to all the congregation elders is to ensure that these lessons are driven home in their respective congregations.
One's being hanged, however, would be another matter altogether.
syneidos posted some interesting information on reddit regarding jw.org's latest project for the upcomming 2015 memorial campaign.. for next year's 2015 memorial campaign, jw.org is producing an invitational video featuring jesus.
the video is still being filmed at the moment and i was told it was super "confidential.
" my source already saw several scenes from it and said, "it looks and feels like a cinematic movie.
"But even if you get the spelling right, and write manger, Jesus still wasn’t born in one, even if the story in the Gospel of Luke was literally true.
A manger is a feeding trough. And nowhere in the story does it suggest that Mary gave birth in a feeding trough."
Please explain RSS for us (I Googled it but don't understand).
I accidently clicked onto it on my e-mail site, and it had some neatly categorized info that I had never before seen in that particular arrangement.
???
THANKS!

so you found out it is all bs but due to family and friends you don't want to be disfellowshipped and shunned.
you have to go to these rediculous meetings maybe even engage in corporation sponsored magazine drives to get the propaganda into the homes of your neighbor in hopes of making another corporation zombie mystified by childish magical thinking, of a jealous deity that wants you to work for the corporation finacial interest or else die for your lack of corporation loyalty.. it is a stressful sitiuation with all kinds of trip wires one has to beware of in order not to be heading into some back room kangaroo court where obediance to the almighty corporation is the bottom line, and a fair hearing of the facts is last on the list of importance.. one consolation is that one may eventually get friends and family out of this demanding and destructive cult with patients and passage of time.. so what ideas would you like to pass on to readers?
what are some of subversive activities one can engage in while stuck in this nasty bit of mandatory corporation exercises of preaching, selling, and building?.
Oneeyedjoe:
Of course, if you give answers like this, you must be prepared to be sickened by the number of people who come to you after the meeting to congratulate you on how much research you put into it, etc. I just hope that some might be nudged a little out of their slumber.
My experience, exactly, often with my highlighting references from an older publication. Bible, first, however.
Thanks.

i have not attended anything jw related for over a year.... until last week when i went to our one day convention.. why you ask?.
i can do what i want i'm a grown adult.. ok...ok...so my jw childhood friend who i have not seen forever, came by for a visit.. i mentally went through the check list:.
is she pioneering and need extra time?.
Yeah, i'm a grown up and can do what I want.
I went. Why? What happens there doesnt matter to me any more.
But spending some time with my friend does matter to me.
I agree and do so myself!
THANKS!
