What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?

by Funchback in

there were many addressed to me.

for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.

i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.

Setting: sound booth, before meetings. 20 min early like a good little MS, setting up the mics and queuing the songs for the TMS/service meeting. A nazi elder approaches me with an overly fake grin and a voice with sarcastic enthusiasm:

Nazi Elder: "Darioooo...! Hey, did you get a new haircut recently?"

Me: (unwinding microphone chord from the booth) "Oh, hey. Yeah, sure did. A few days ago."

Nazi Elder: "Ah! Well next time, would you let the barber know NOT to change the guard on the clippers so abruptly?" (Pats me on the shoulder and walks away)

In a pioneer car group in the mid-2000s, in the dead of winter and suffering from inescapable boredom, I decided to churn up a conversation about winter hobbies. I figured the stodgy group of post-menopausal elderettes would not possibly find anything to nitpick about bird feeding. I was promptly admonished that feeding birds in the winter isn't good because "it makes the birds lazy."

Blurring of genders

by Saltheart Foamfollower in

as sometimes happens at elders meetings with the co, he has a letter from the branch to read out.

this rarely is made available later so any policies have to be acted on from memory.

this visit a letter was read about blurring of the genders and in particular brothers dressing in a metrosexual style - tight clothing was mentioned again.

You must be pudgy/swollen and have a polar bear shape to your body like morris.

Classic Stockholm Syndrome.

I am also reminded of the sea of fawning North Koreans who show up any time their abuser steps outdoors.

hey "governing body": I know your minions read this forum. I just want to extend a glorious middle finger and a hearty "fuck you" to each one of you assholes. I hope you all experience excruciating pain before you "return to dust." That's right; you're NOT going to heaven. You simply die. The bible, your hateful interpretation of it, your tyrannical god and your organization are all bullshit. Oh--and tony morris: Die in a fire.

Need Help with Blood Transfusion Illustration

by Dissonant15 in

please, who can provide an intelligent rebuttal to the following illustration?

i always thought it was bullet-proof:.

"if your doctor directs you to 'abstain from alcohol' would you be ok to have it injected into your veins rather than drink it?

DarioKehl

All you have to say is, "this is a flawed analogy. Google 'non equivalency fallacy' and see what you find."

they need to do the work themselves.

I keep hearing about this. Cedars posted about it on reddit the other day but emphasized that it's still hearsay.

i hope to see proof of this, otherwise, it's just a rumor.

Psychology: Sick of Elder Low tone slow paced talk

by Aprostate Exam in

now after 21 years in professional psychology/humanities, i love talking to brothers that adopt a slow pace in speech, and low tone of voice when they deal with the rank and cold un-associated ones.

my mirroring their present state in personality seems to psych them out for a bit.

i then tap into my fast injection of logical sense, that throws them off.

"Do we not appreciate this new publication lovingly prepared by the faithful and discreet slave?"

(thunderous applause)

Responding in the affirmative actually says, "yes! we do NOT appreciate the new publication!" if you wanna be pedantic about it.

It's hard to do because you have to avoid contractions.

"don't you" becomes "do you not"

The Oesophagus of the whale shark and the story of Jonah

by purrpurr in

in the wt's literature it is often theorised that the "great fish" that swallowed jonah was a whale shark.

indeed looking at whale sharks with their wide huge mouths it seems reasonable to think that a human could fit in there.... ... until that is you do any research on it.

while the whales mouth is huge, it's oesophagus however is only a few inches wide.

Oxygen is another issue.
