  Yup.

  They're perfectly free to be assholes…

  …just not on the taxpayers’ dime.

  And that is as it should be.

  "Recruiting the Deaf" a new "Freeminds" article by Barb Anderson

  the worldwide recruiting attempt of jehovah’s witnesses to bring their religious message to the deaf using sign language can be viewed as something of a mixed bag.

  while they strive to communicate it using the right methods, they convey an illusionary message that is detrimental in countless ways.[1].

  jehovah’s witnesses international “deaf ministry” as directed by the watch tower bible and tract society, inc., is no small feat because there are over 200 distinct sign languages in the world.

  Roski - "I was once asked to give language lessons to the new incoming elder, but he called to cancel saying he didn't take kindly to being instructed by a woman"

  Jeezus, just how insecure about their masculinity are these guys??? 🤨

  slimboyfat - “…the remarkable thing is that Watchtower continued to rely on the material Raymond Franz wrote to support Watchtower chronology even after he himself no longer believed it.”

  LOL I hadn’t even realized that, but it’s true!

  “Remarkable” is the word for it.

  Up till now, I just though Lett sounded weird.

  @ Hellothere…

  You are, IMO, displaying for more sympathy for the GB than they deserve.

  Submission and stupid rules

  what a load of crap this stupid belief was.

  i'll give you a couple of examples.

  i was the sign language interpreter for our congregation and there was about 15-20 deaf who regularly showed up.

  ‘Course, having a freaky “significant other” sometimes helps.

  We manage.

  Takes years of practice and self-discipline, though.

  Quite noble of us, really.

  Unless…

  …the WTS is on such financially shaky ground that the loss of said benefits actually will significantly hamper the Org’s ability to function.

  From their POV, that probably would negatively impact their “freedom to practice”.

  Anyone who seriously believes that this is just about being able to legally perform marriages is naive.

  The only real benefit the Org gets from registration is the regular checks they’d receive from the taxpayers’ coffers.

  Which, once again, begs the question, “why would they need financial assistance from the government so badly?”
