Please tell me were not going to get a "100" year birthday party err... anniversary get-together for the "2019" service year.
Actually, no - let's hope the gibbering boobies go for it - it will then wake even more up ... won't it?
Please.

I think his "best" one - as in the one that will be understood by the most JW's (who likely will not have heard of pillowgate or the apostate army) is this one: -
BRIAN GETS A BEARD
You need to listen carefully to the accents as all parts of the British Isles seem present. Listen for the hilarious "beard fractions" being allowed.

Praying in the name of Michael the archangel instead of Jesus
by krismalone injust wondering what would happen if a brother saying a prayer in a meeting did it in the name of michael the archangel instead of closing the prayer with "jesus christ".
since jw's believe michael is jesus would he be counseled?
what if a brother used the name michael the archangel in their public talks instead of jesus?

The book burning has started
by pale.emperor indon't know if this is a global thing but i've just been told by a pimo member of my old congregation that a min servant has been given the task of destroying all old books/literature in the kh library prior to 1992.. could be the elders (or even one of them) on a mission to stamp out dissent as my ex-wife used the same reasoning to her elder dad that i used in my jc: rutherfords books containing failed predictions.. anyone else heared anything?.
the ms who's been given the task is a company man.
no hope of him keeping them or selling them on ebay.. they have some russell books in that library too.

Bob-a-job said
"If WT didn’t each any of of this, this would be no problem for you all to accept."
"Generation" - every reputable dictionary defines this one way - WT defines it as another.
"587 BCE" - every reputable historian says this was the year of the fall of Jerusalem - WT defines it as another year - 607 BC.
I see a pattern ...

Yesterday I went and did a bit of shopping in our cong territory and I drove into the shopping area where at the entrance were two "worthies" being ignored - and there were lots of passersby.
One I recognised as an old faithful (and exceptionally genuine) elder in his 80's. He and his family have been through real unpleasantness in jw land but he has soldiered on from the early 1970's until now. It was cold and he had a woolly hat, heavy coat and leaned on a cane. He looked cold and miserable (or cold and resolute if you prefer) and I wanted to pull over, put my arm around him and say ...
"WHY ON EARTH DON'T YOU GO HOME, SIT BY THE FIRE, HAVE A CUP OF TEA AND GET WARM? ... NOBODY IS BLOODY INTERESTED! - IT'S CRAP!"
But of course I didn't.

Joliette - you are thinking of the account of Onan. It is nothing to do with masturbation.
Genesis 38 v 6 - 11.
*** w83 6/1 p. 26 Maintaining God’s View of Sex ***
There are those that have said that the Bible describes masturbation in Genesis chapter 38, and that Onan was put to death for the offense. But this is not true. The Bible says that when Onan “did have relations with his brother’s wife he wasted his semen on the earth.” (Genesis 38:9) So apparently Onan interrupted sexual relations with Tamar, spilling his semen on the ground rather than giving it to Tamar. He did this because he did not want to raise up children in the name of his dead brother. And it was for this failure to perform “brother-in-law marriage” that Onan was put to death.
Back in the time of Genesis there was a tradition that if a younger woman became a widow without children then the brother-in-law would take her as a wife and try to impregnate her. (Crazy I know)
But good old Onan didn't want to look after kids that weren't his and so "pulled out" before ejaculating.
So in his all encompassing wisdom the great Jehovah not only killed the woman's first husband, he killed his brother (her next husband) as well.
No wanking involved - at least not in the scripture and even WT acknowledge this.
Old Testament stuff which doesn't have the power of law even if you are a Christian believer anyway.

Sign of apostasy
by Ireneus inelders arranged a sort of informal visit by a more capable elder accompanied by another brother who is more qualified than me from academic background.
their purpose was to reason with me as a last resort to avoid a jc.. during the two-hour discussion, i could make my point clear to them: “i don’t think any one particular religion has the whole truth.
it may be existing as bits and piece in all religions and schools of thought.

When elders sniff apostasy they are on to the branch like a newborn lamb on its mother's teet. The branch then tells them what to do and what ducks to get in a row every step of the way.
Remember - the branch boys have heard it all before. Just because the elders in Outer Fumbuck haven't dealt with "apostasy" doesn't mean the branch won't ruthlessly close it down and kick you out using their puppets to do it.
