We had a laugh last weekend at our S.A.D
The visiting speaker was from the London Bethel (BCM)
During the last talk he was trying to encourage the bros not to read non society LIT

The example he uses was of a M/s Bro who used to really study his WT
well for a sunday, however he occasionally used secular sources to back up his research.

Our bethel speaker in order to prove how wrong this was explained very quickly that because of this secular research, "this brother fell away and caught AIDS"

The brothers and sisters in the audience where very shocked at the folly of our ex-brother

Me - I just laughed and felt sad at the same time.

Moral of the story.
Make sure you use a condom, when reading Worldly books

I'm not surprised in the slightest. You know, the A Common Bond movement (the international support network for gay & lesbian JW's and ex-JW's) has become such a formidable organization that announcements are actually being made at some district conventions to "beware of groups of homosexual apostates in our midst", making us sound like a bunch of spies infiltrating the congregations trying to recruit new members. They are spreading all sorts of rumours about us (which, of course, we are hearing about) in an effort to - pardon the pun - scare them straight.
The ignorance of the Watchtower never ceases to amaze me (nor does their obsession with homosexuality). I know of an instance in New York City where a man had been proselytized as an adult, only to discover after he had been baptized that he was HIV positive. He made the mistake of confiding in an elder, who immediately spread it throughout the congregation. This brother in good standing was from that day forward not even allowed to use the Kingdom Hall bathroom without an escort! Needless to say, the ostracism became so great that he stopped going to meetings and became inactive.

The moral of the story is JEHOVAHS WITNESSES ARE COMPLETE RETARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I HAVE NO COMPASSION FOR THEM LEFT IN MY BODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
