Arround 2003 afternan earthquake in India: the elder told us during the meeting that armageddon would be the same worldwide. Just watching the effects of it I was furious.

Said in the kingdom hall but not on the mic.
1. Two of the oldest and most mature elder sisters in my congregation told me once: "never go to the elders for anything.. they are like weak little boys"
2. Said by ministerial servant after platform demo at theocratic ministry school meeting involving exemplary long serving pioneer sister: "Dam that sister is a real bitch"
I quit meetings a month later.
When my grandmother died, some days later, an elder came and asked "you didn't fill in your fieldservice report. Please, don't forget".
Gorbatchov that was said to my father in his home as my mother lay dieing. Sickening idiots. actually it was counseling him as to how he could get in his hours instead of attending to my mother and his grief. Either way they are idiots.

Talking about the internet.
One elder encouraging the "non use" of the internet
said a while ago "actually it should be called Satans net. "

Wonder what they think of that comment now, when you can see JW.ORG plastered

One sister commented about the Iron curtain being in Berlin. The Study conductor did not correct her, I was horrified and at the end of the meeting confirmed with my kids the difference between the iron curtain and the Berlin wall and which was in Russia and Germany.

A week after my sister passed away, two elders visited me. They came with their bible and a WT publication and, as in a casual pastorial visit, made me a 15 minute study as to why I should not use the current situation as a reason to "overly" talk with my mother who was disfellowshiped. They reasonned that her husband was responsible for her welfare and thus, I should not seek for an excuse to break the devine law of shunning.
Unfortunately, I am not exagerating. My only regreat is that I should have stopped them cold and drag their asses out of my house. Unfortunately, I was too much into it, so I simply sat down and nodded yes. Of course, I didn't listen, I kept talking with my mom.
At my last elder school I went to. Last talk ended with this elder shouting "Are we happy that we have the FDS to teach us elders what we need to do and do we show total obedience to their instruction?" Everyone in the room stood up and clap their hands in agreement. No mention of god or his son. That is when I knew I was in a cult. Still Totally ADD
