This is why I call them hounder-hounders and hounder-hounder-hounders. After all, they only enforce the rules passed down by the Watchtower Society and would be largely unnecessary if the Tower would simplify the rules. There is only one that really is needed, and that is not open to interpretation. Either something is initiatory force, threat, or fraud--or it isn't. And with just this one rule, there is no need to have someone looking at them every second to make sure that other stupid rules (like the white shirt) are being followed.
Also, what value are these people creating? All they do is go from congregation to congregation, working (if you call promoting a scam "work") in the misery all day, every day. They spread the messages from the Governing Body to the congregations. They answer and transmit any correspondence from the hounders to and from the Society. But they do nothing that would benefit society at large in any way.
In fact, they take the lead in initiating fraud against the public. Why? They keep telling us that Armageddon is coming soon. How soon? They tried 1914, and it busted. They tried 1915 then, and that busted too. So they tried 1918, 1920, 1925, and 1941. All busted. They tried 1975, and that was another bust (just ask Danny Haszard about that one!) They insinuated, less directly, 1984 and 1994. They then had to take back the generation doctrine in 1995. And now they are implicitly telling us that Armageddon will be sometime in 2007 (they started that scam last summer and are continuing it even now). Another bust.
Do people suffer? Or is this just non-creation of value? As before, look at Danny Haszard. He has his own Web site (www.dannyhaszard.com ), plus an account on this forum. And from the posts on this forum, he is not that pleased with what they did to his health and financial condition. And children lose college education, quit high school to pioneer, forgo marriage, forgo normal lives, get physically and sexually molested in the congregations and then silenced, and people live on food stamps so they can pioneer. All of which lessens the value that they can create for and from society.
Yes, by this definition of work, the hounder-hounder shouldn't be allowed to eat. After all, he does no work that is work and produces negative value for society. Perhaps these humanoids are unnecessary after all, unless they find productive work.
