Hi mcsemike,
Those articles are cut n' pasted directly from the WT CDROM.
I will admit that sometimes I engage in parody of watchtower material, but this would be an inappropriate thread for a parody or an intentional misrepresentation.
When I make jokes, it is usually obvious, either because I identify them as jokes or because the context makes it clear they are.
No offense taken; you were within your rights to ask for clarification.
