Ok, that's the second time a motorcycle is mentioned. I have to provide this anecdote.
We recently went to a friends house and attended their Sunday meeting with them (first one for me in a long time). Their son is big into motorcycles and drove his to the hall in his suit and tie. He looked comical dressed up like that with the helmet. But, he's a MS and no one said a thing about it...that's the relatively liberal congregation I had mentioned before in a previous post. If only they were all that way.

I forget which scriptures from the NWT contain these expressions. I'm thinking Proverbs? My wife and I always got a big kick out of these whenever we'd run across them in a study or from skimming through the bible.
Editted to add: Oh, and the men can comment, too.... The more the merrier!

How many have wives who think it's the truth?
by drew sagan inthe idea for this thread was sparked by seeing that a lot of guys thought that the latest km article would be a great talking point.
there are a number of jwd poster who have lived through the hell of having a wife who thinks it is the truth.
i am happy to say that i have been through it and survived.

Hey Drew,
I have a husband who still believes, so can I tag along for crumbs that might help?
D'oh!
That men's club mindset that the WT instilled in us is hard to get rid of, eh?
I'm sure this wasn't your intention, Drew...just making a jest.

comparing WTS with Pharisees
by erandir ini had a good discussion saturday night with my witness wife about how the society is basically a modern-day version of the pharisees and how jesus condemned them in his day and how he would condemn the society today.
does anyone have any good points or any insight into comparing the society with pharisees?
anything you have would be helpful so i could get my thoughts together and figure out a way to approach this subject with her in the future whenever it comes up..

"broad scripture containing cases"
Sounds like a field service bag, Gopher. Maybe we're on to something here.

Think Critically...
Now that I've been away for so long, the mind-control has worn off...lol
I feel like the guards of the wicked witch of the west who came out of their spell after Dorothy killed her.

Ok, now how about the common response (like my wife gave not too long ago): "Yes, but there are so many more witnesses today and in an organization this big, there need to be rules to keep up the UNITY of the brotherhood."
My counter response is something like "so you're saying the Bible is insufficient...the principles and laws therein are not enough?"
Another related response has to do with Paul and the apostles sending letters to various congregations and how the Governing Body does the same today. My response includes that those letters then were accepted into Bible canon...but today they are not. Why?
