How about getting counseled because of your car not bring a “service car”!? Too small. If you want to purchase this type of vehicle, you are not putting kingdom interests first. Same goes for working ever Saturday. You can’t be an example to the flock if you aren’t out leading the flock on Saturday mornings.

49What Were You or Someone You Knew Counseled For That Was Ridiculous?
by minimus inback in the day, tons of witnesses were brought in the “back room “ to be counseled by elders because of their dress and grooming.
some elders frowned on mustaches or hair that went past a certain point on a male.
women were regularly harassed because their skirt was too long or too short or had a slit on the side.

What Is Truth?
by minimus injust because you believe something as truth, it doesn’t make it truth.
religious leaders may be admired and believed but they could be dead wrong.
politicians can spout out “facts” that support their truth yet once further evidence comes through these facts are questionable.

True versus not true. I don’t care what you believe or don’t believe. If it’s true than it’s true. If it’s not, it’s not.
Example: JWs have been taught that the superior authorities were government. They then were taught it was Jehovah God and Jesus Christ. Then they were taught it was government. Just because they were taught that Jehovah and Jesus were the superior authorities and they believed it, what difference does it make??They were accepting a meaning that was FALSE.

Just to be clear, I got the strap, the regular belt, the thick razor belt, the hand and anything close to my mother’s hand. I never was in danger of my life. I thought that the emphasis on the thread was how terrible JW parents are that they even kill or get close to killing their kids. That’s pretty rare but getting “disciplined “, I got it as a kid regularly.🤭

Remembering Rutherford
by Sea Breeze inhe seems to me to be the angriest and most ill-tempered of all the wt presidents, especially after his stint in prison and failed prophecies.. “regarding his misguided statements as to what we could expect in 1925, he [rutherford] once confessed to us at bethel, “i made an ass of myself.”” watchtower 1984 oct 1 p.24.
rutherford died at beth sarim on january 8, 1942, at the age of 72.
[220] cause of death was...carcinoma of the rectum..."[21] .

Rocket man, hard hitting but I understand your point. It could be that Dis is simply not like everyone else. He has to make sure of all things about everything. Watchtower Organization is clearly wrong about most things. Doctrines, chronology, prophecies, etc. It’s hard to defend so much wrongness.

We had a CO’s wife that believed every sister, especially on Sundays should wear a hat. She and her husband were like a Father’s Know Best TV show or Ozzie and Harriet. He would have his Dick Tracy hat on and the wife would have hers on and they would criticize anyone that didn’t follow their example. They were odd but I actually got a kick out of them.

A person can repeat a lie that they believe to be truth. It doesn’t take away from the fact that if something clearly isn’t true whether you believed it to be trustworthy or not, it’s still not truth. Otwo, like when Hillary Clinton told everyone she lost the election because of Russian interference and that Putin had dirt on Trump. Even if she truly believed it, if it’s not true “ what difference does it make “???

Dis, I was reading quite a bit of that thread. A lot of research there! Earnest, the poster, who I believe was associated with Watchtower and maybe became a Dawnist?? Has excellent responses to Farkel and company. All in all a great thread 🧵!

Nothing else was happening. A ten dollar bill on a wrapped sandwich simply laying on top in front of her. She was just a horrible clerk.

That’s just to name a few things. What were you counseled over that in reality was ridiculous??
