I very much doubt what the OP said about Matthew 25:45 as I've just done a search for that scripture in the official outlines and it is not even mentioned once!
Please tell us the title of the talk this was supposedly mentioned in.

This year’s convention
by lastmanstanding intwo things i noted at this year’s rc.
1) the new teaching with respect to matthew 25:45 which was applied equally to the rank & file jw.
this teaching is also found in the watchtower study for last sunday.. then he will answer them, saying: ‘truly i say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of these least ones, you did not do it to me.. 2) the new armageddon video which was a big shift.

The "Whole World" was flooded??
by stuckinarut2 inso, jehovah's witnesses and many other biblical literalists think that the "whole world" was flooded during noahs day.. they take the "accounts" in genesis literally.
so that means that areas as far away as australia, russia, argentina, greenland, antarctica were all visited by noah and his family to gather animals and preach before it happened right??
they then took everything back to the middle east to board the ark...uh huh.... yet, the same expression in the bible for the "whole world" is also used in the account about the "worldwide famine" in josephs day!

Eddie Izzard's account of the flood is hilarious!
Noah made the mistake of putting lions & tigers in there first.... comes to the head count when all the animals are in the ark... nope just two lions and two tigers and lots of ketchup on the walls of the ark!

I wonder how many would notice? You could always use the excuse if you got pulled over for it, saying that you’re a Star Trek fan!

traditional English words and phrases.
by stan livedeath insomething i found on facebook..... a bit of interesting history reading .... enjoy ...they used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery.......if you had to do this to survive you were "piss poor".
but worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot......they "didn't have a pot to piss in" & were the lowest of the low.
the next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be.

Piss poor, reminds me of the 4 poor Yorkshiremen sketch.

Help: Anyone identify Gary Breaux's ring?
by Fay Dehr in.
can anyone identify this ring?
(ideally, a link to a page on the internet with photo and description).

They are so hypocritical in their rules as they think nothing of wearing pinkie rings, although in several cultures in the world this signifies that you're gay.
However, their reason for not wearing beards is that (according to WT) in several cultures in the world, it is not acceptable for a Minister of God.
Double standards shining through again.

Anyone think Assemblies will stop?
by blownaway innot completely but the expensive renting of halls or assembly hall ownership.
maybe with streaming they could have assemblies at the kh and stream the program.
i bet they cut costs in a lot of ways.

Time to remind JWs of this famous quote from CT Russell!
by stuckinarut2 inwith the ever present issue of the society seeming to run out of money, and constantly asking the flock for more donations, maybe it is time to revive this quote!.
the leaked financial dept videos that have done the rounds, clearly show the society is in desperate trouble financially.. so, where is the "almighty's hand"?
where is his ability to provide funds?

I remember when we studied the Kingdom Rules book last year and the announcements, RIGHT AFTER THE STUDY WITH THAT QUOTE, they read a begging letter for money! There were more than a few chuckles in the hall at the irony.

Their phobias spread to music too. I know JWs whomstill wont listen to KISS as they think the band name means “Kids In Satan’s Service”. All the other freaky small Bible following religions started that one and the WT jumped straight on the bandwagon.
Nowadays you can refute those myths by searching the Net but the JWs still stick to their old superstitions.
