  A normal person would spend the Saturday morning after 9-11 watching TV and looking for some sign that everything was going to be all right.

  A dub would spend that Saturday morning at the Kingdom Hall at a "meeting for service" listening to some inarticulate elder blabber on about the proper approach to get today's Watchtower (with some inane cover topic) into the hands of householders and managing to talk for 15 minutes without ever once mentioning the great tragedy of 9-11, still fresh in everyone's mind!

  I remember 9/11 and there were more than a few, including elders buzzing about the catastrophe. They were "joyful", in fact! That number that were excited by this possible development in Bible prophecy was probably around 10 persons. I remember telling one sister in front of an elder and his wife who were rejoicers that this was a TERRIBLE TRAGEDY and we shouldn't feel happy. The fact that some, even if it was only a few is WEIRD!

  Last night in Toronto there was a tragic murder-suicide, as a woman jumped off a bridge on to highway 401 with her baby in her arms.

  A normal person would be saddened by this tragedy. A JW would find a way to turn it into a field service point so they can place more magazines.

  Fleaman, you experienced persons in your Hall that were not joyful over 9/11 and I did. Of course it's a "silly question" and all those that see the point of the exaggerated question are silly too.

  JW's are pretty normal, just misinformed

  You're kidding right ?

  Normal people don't trash education or sit around celebrating the lords evening meal by not celebrating . Normal people don't keep track of their time while discussing their religious beliefs with others.Normal people don't ignore their immediate family members because of a difference in religious beliefs.Normal people don't criticize others over what they wear to church or in everday attire .Normal people don't try to find a biblical reason to let children die from lack of medical procedures that use blood .

  One does not pretend to obey everything a dozen old men in Brooklyn tell him- and the other one does.

  One does not enjoy reading the Watchtower- and the other one doesn't even have a Watchtower.
