Did the WTS ever teach a dirty look from a fellow Christian could be discipline from Jehovah?

    Answer - why yes of course they did!

    Discipline may come from someone else. It may come as a look, a frown, a word, a gesture, a verbal reproof. Jesus gave Peter a look that reminded him of the prediction of his grave sin, and he went out and wept bitterly. WT 10-1-87, p. 18

    We apostates don't need sixscreems style drama - the sh*t they wrote on their own is good enough :-)

    Perhaps this is why my "wife" would always give me dirty looks every time I cracked open a beer ........

    Honestly though, she was the queen of dirty looks. Of course when I would ask what was wrong, she would say "nothing". Perhaps just a womanly thing, but I think further enhanced by the WTBT$.

    LOL - that is a great find, Besty!

    It brings up that age-old question - Who writes this crap?

    I added my personal feelings - this is how this should really read!!

    Discipline may come from someone else. It may come as a dirty look, an evil frown, a swear word, a gesture such as the middle finger, a verbal reproof, such as someone telling you to go f--- yourself. Jesus gave Peter a look that reminded him of the prediction of his grave sin, and he went out and wept bitterly. Then he probably gave Jesus the finger behind his back. Then, Jesus would know Peter gave him the finger, and then would rebuke him again later! WT 10-1-87, p. 18

    Of course, the WTS teaches that Jesus was perfect and could read minds and hearts; but no imperfect human can do that.

    Then this explains why the self-righteous idiots felt they could get away with rolling their eyeballs and gossiping to their hearts content about people, trashing their reputation in car groups.

    Writing this stuff just feeds into the superior, controlling attitude that many there have. Do these deluded people think that their 'look' is supposed to zap somebody?
