    At the recent Circuit Assembly....

    On Saturday afternoon, there was a symposium on behavior modification "conquering the evil with the good".

    Along with the usual idiotic groundless assertions about the "dangers" of university education, new technology, internet porn, etc., there was this new and rather startling revelation of a subtle Satanic snare that all should watch out for....

    Game shows!

    Yes, directly in the Society's outline, there was a specific and clear-cut point on the "dangers" of watching game shows on TV! Watching them could (paraphrase) "get you to thinking about how much money or prizes the contestant was winning, and then you're thinking 'boy, I'd sure like to have that new car / boat / dinette set', and that leads to materialism."

    So turn off "Jeopardy"! Just say no to "Deal or No Deal"! Your everlasting destiny depends on it!

    Idiots. You just can't make this stuff up...

    what about the wheel of fortune home game?

    Do you think that would be permissible?

    Does it make elders feel necessary and important for people to have to ask inane questions like that?^

    I wonder if being a Bank teller might be "unwise ".... handling money might create a deep desire for money ?

    Are JW's any good at Jeopardy, anyway? With the emphasis on the least education allowed by law, I'd be surprised if many witnesses would find it interesting or, assuming they were a contestant, if they would be a competent player.

    I recall a Mormon contestant from a couple of years ago who became a champion, breaking all kinds of records.

    The other problem is that Wheel of Fortune comes on when you are supposed to be making your way to the boasting session or sitting down to study your Washtowel or Kingdumb Misery. Jeopardy comes on when you are supposed to be at the boasting session or studying your Washtowel or Kingdumb Misery. Price is Right comes on when you are supposed to be out in field circus.

    I believe that is the real issue there.

    Now that I've cleaned up the coffee I involuntarily spewed- thanks for the laugh!!
