Wouldn’t that be something to hear Tony was publicly reproved for a time due to this? He could not partake in a broadcast or morning worship, Haha. For what offense you ask? Gluttony. I did some research and it definitely fits. It’s a greedy attitude towards food or drink. I’ve known many elders who have stretched things to justify a judicial committee to out someone.

Jesus used illustrations to drive a point home and to teach others. For those that don't see a problem with what Tony did, I'm hoping this helps. This will be sort of like the Family Fued game.

We surveyed 100 people in the world. A man is wearing tailor fit dress pants. He approaches you and attempts to share an encouraging thought from the Bible. What do you think about that?

I am listening, you are in shape and care about that body God gave you, more power to you! - 57
No thanks, I'm not interested in any religion - 43
You CAN'T be a follower of Christ, you are wearing tailor fit dress pants! - 0

We surveyed 100 people in the world. A woman is wearing spandex while out for a jog and is in her cool down stage. She approaches you and attempts to share an encouraging thought from the Bible. What do you think about that?

I am listening. You are a woman of God since you respect your body and take care of it, you go girl! - 64
No thanks, I'm not interested in any religion - 36

We surveyed 100 people in the world. An older gentleman approaches the checkout of a liquor store. He unloads a dozen bottles of expensive booze onto the conveyor belt. As the cash machine says $957.13, he makes eye contact with you and then attempts to share an encouraging thought from the Bible. What do you think about that?

Holy shit, this is a super expensive habit for this drunk! - 53
Oh my god, this old fart is going to get so shit faced this entire month! - 47
You MIGHT possibly be a follower of Christ - 0

Does this drive home the point how super obsessed Tony is about public image? Does he realize what he did is 1000 times worse than the first 2 examples that he has told us all are absolutely disgusting and not becoming of a Christian? No sins have been committed in all 3 examples, but who has brought the most reproach on Jehovah and his Organization in the 3 examples?

A. Rank and File Brother

B. Rank and File Sister

The fact of the matter is that gal that rung up Fat Tony thinks he's a raging alcoholic. Doesn't matter what the back story is if they were gifts or anything, what matters is what a worldly observer thinks. If that gal sees him on TV and recognizes him, she would tell everyone in the room "hey, that guy spent almost $1000 on hard booze in my store!" Will that bring praise and honor to Jehovah?

MMM,

Should it be a scandal if a brother wears taylor fit dress pants? Should it be a scandal if a sister wears spandex while jogging outside? I don't think it should be, yet Tight Pants Tony has to bring it up in front of 8 million viewers and say how disgusting it is and not appropriate for a Christian to do. Are either of them a sin or wrong? Not at all.

Let's say it's the summer and the Regional Convention is going on. A group of 10 brothers walked into a bar with their convention badges on and asked the bartender for a couple $100 bottles of whiskey and they all enjoyed a glass or two. There is no sin at all in what they are doing, expensive drinks aren't a sin, walking into a bar isn't a sin, doing any of that while you're in town for a convention isn't a sin, but be honest, what would Tony say? Would he say that is completely fine and actually encourage it to give a witness that they are in town for the convention?

I’m sorry if I’m coming across as upset, but it really bothers me that he has the gall to tell little children they can pass up on the ice cream and send their $$$ to the Society, but he has no problem buying $100 bottles of booze. It’s downright sickening.

MMM, it is of my opinion that this is such a big scandal due to the man involved. You know, the most judgmental prick on the planet, the holier than thou, the man who’s shit doesn’t stink like the rest of us.

Whoever is speculating that Tight Pants Tony was purchasing gifts for the Gilead class, I'm not buying it. Tony is so full of himself, why would he be delegated to go out on a Sunday drive to purchase gifts, when one of his minions could do it? Who buys very expensive whiskey or scotch as a gift for a large group of people anyways? You'd normally buy a group of people a nicer bottle of wine, it takes a particular taste in alcohol to desire the taste of whiskey or scotch. This was clearly either all for Tony to last him awhile, or for him and his buddies on the Governing Body. It would not surprise me one bit when they have their spiritual discussions and decide on "New Light", that they are all sipping back on those drinks. I am starting to wonder now if Tony tips back a few before getting on the broadcast. I'm sure anyone would be nervous thinking millions will be watching you when it's released, so I'm sure a stiff drink or two would help you get through it. When you factor in the crazy things he says, along with his speech sounding slurred at times, you almost have to expect he's under the influence, he has to be.

For those that don’t see anything wrong with what Tony did, I’m going to assume they must have been out of the religion for a long time and not heard Tony’s talks for the past 5+ years.

You guys are all completely right, there is nothing wrong with buying a dozen bottles of booze. It could have all been for one party, which he only was going to have one glass of. Maybe it’s his stash for an entire year. Others are bringing out he could have been skipping a meeting or service. Others saying he was trying to conceal himself with the hat. I think everyone is getting distracted by all these other things and not focusing on what was really wrong with what he did. In my mind, this is all about the money. This wasn't just a dozen bottles of booze for $20 per bottle like most normal people would buy, try 4-5x that cost per bottle.

This man has a platform to deliver talks to the entire World through JW Broadcasting. What does he do with that platform?

He chastises parents who would even think for a moment of allowing their child to attend college to obtain a more secure financial future for themselves.
He chastises members who take a better paying job if it means missing a meeting or field service here and there.
He chastises members who lean towards a materialistic lifestyle of enjoying some finer things in life
He encourages children to give up their ice cream money to send to the Organization.
He chastises members for having nice homes, cars or boats when they should simplify their lives and put the Kingdom first.
He chastises members if they put themselves in a situation that doesn’t look good from a worldly persons perspective and not becoming of a True Christian.

If you think I’m going overboard on using the word chastising, I’m not. Just watch him. He looks pissed off and uses words like disgusting when talking of these things.

This is an Organization where it’s been said more money is flowing out, than coming in. They say more and more Kingdom Halls have to be built while there not being enough funds to do it all with. Just a recent broadcast said there have been more natural disasters than ever before and the Organizations projected costs to provide disaster relief was going to skyrocket. That is a hint for members to send them more money without blatantly asking for more. They’ve encouraged members to skip out on all the needless vacations to give to Jehovah. They’ve printed how members can hand over stocks and bonds, 401Ks, homes, savings, land, literally any asset they own that has value to put Kingdom interests first either now or willed over at their death.

If this money was used from donated funds, that is an absolute tragedy. If it’s from Tony’s own account, it’s a shame he isn’t giving it to the Organization when he’s encouraging millions to sacrifice nicer things in life.

This also begs the question, if this was a rare case of taping him doing this, how many other times has he done it, or other things where spending extravagant amounts of money on things that aren’t needed has been done?

To conclude, this is my opinion only and if many disagree, I can respect that. There was nothing “wrong” with what Tony did. But what he did has now took away his free speech of any talks revolving around money and sacrificing it for the Kingdom. He can keep condemning ones wearing clothes he doesn’t approve of and I’ll laugh about it, but the minute money comes up, I will stop laughing and yell Hypocrite!

Dreary, we already know the Organization is cutthroat and will kick anyone to the curb at anytime and not care for how their needs are going to be met, think of the hundreds laid off from Bethel in the past couple of years.

If they did it to Tony and his wife, it’s just another example or case to add to their list. Business as usual for them, I’d have nothing new to bash them about.

I would only sympathize and be on Tony’s side if he humbled himself and stopped being so critical and judgmental of everyone else.

You’re right though JW GoneBad. It would be hard for any apostate to take him in and be supportive when he’s had a hand in ruining so many lives, also ending many lives.

I should rephrase that. In Tony’s case, he feels he will become a mighty angel serving alongside Jesus, so probably is fine with using and abusing his body before he turns it in for heavenly life.
