This one is my best:
Pioneer elder shows the magazins to the householder, with the comment "you should read it!".
Householder asks the pioneer elder: "did you read them?"
Pioneer elder looks to the front pages and answers "no, i did not read this editions yet".
Householder says: "please, read them first by your self before saying I have to read them".
Door closing.
Gorby laughing loud and pioneer elder looks very, very sad.
It's 30 year ago and I still remember the place were it happened ๐๐๐

in what is just the height of irony, watchtower warns us about propaganda, and accepting everything we hear/read.
yes, we should ignore those that try to stop us thinking critically as this watchtower article will now teach us.
WT thinks and acts just like their enemy's, communism and fascism. Book burnings, closing library's and university's, one channel media, one official newspaper and the think police are their common wet dream.
Paradise will be like North Korea. One truth and all happy. And with happy I mean the leadership is happy with their money and privileges.

A weird person invited us in. My naive friend says ok en we stepped in the house. The man locked the front door and took the keys.
Never felt so uncomfortable and unsafe.
