"...a Christian makes sacrifices for Jehovah, either by offering up certain things to him or by giving up certain things for him. ..." paragraph 3
In other words, suck the sheep dry....

"...Do we act and dress with proper decorum at all times? Or while engaging in day-to-day activities, might we be embarrassed to identify ourselves as Jehovah's Witnesses, either because of the way we behave or because of the way we dress? Never may that be! Jehovah's people would not want to do anything that might reflect badly on God's name. ..."
Hee hee hee heee!!!
The FUN I can have with this!!!
"...Do we act and dress with proper decorum at all times?..."
In other words, like they're members of a backwards religious sect still mentally stuck in the 1950's...
"...Or while engaging in day-to-day activities, might we be embarrassed to identify ourselves as Jehovah's Witnesses, either because of the way we behave or because of the way we dress? ...."
You mean, by dressing and acting like a misogynistic, backwards religious sect still stuck in the 1950's?????
"...Never may that be! Jehovah's people would not want to do anything that might reflect badly on God's name. ..."
Like using antiquated expressions that come straight from the 1930's - 1950's, and acting like brainwashed followers of a cult still stuck in the 1950's???
And MAAAAAAAN, can the average "worldlie" EVER tell, just by looking at and talking to a JW, that they're following a buncha REALLY old men whose "glory days" were in the 1940's - 1950's....!!!

Regarding the way JWs act and dress Par 5 says: "Jehovah’s people would not want to do anything that might reflect badly on God’s name."
Really!
There are many things JWs do that reflect badly on God’s name that are far worse than the way a person acts or dresses. When the name Jehovah is mentioned the average ‘worldly’ person may associate JWs with any of the following: (1) Their harsh and unloving disfellowshiping and shunning policy. (2) Their unscriptural blood doctrine (3) Their long standing obsession with speculation when it comes to interpreting the Bible…… to name just a few.

In Par 10 the WTBTS defines what sacrifice means to them: "One of the most obvious ways in which we as Christians do good things for others is through “the public declaration of our hope.”
What did sacrifice mean to Jesus?
What ‘good things’ did Jesus do when he walked the earth? Lets’ see: (1) he raised the dead (2) cured the sick (3) fed the hungry (4) washed the feet of others (5) was approachable to the young, middle aged and elderly (6) shed his own blood for my benefit and your benefit and oh yes….. he preached. And unlike JWs today, I can’t think of anything that JC did that reflected badly on his Father's name.
This man (Jesus Christ) was truly charitable. Jehovah’s Witnesses (WTBTS) on the other hand are (1) selfish (2)severe and (3) intolerant.
Thank you Blondie.

"...Moreover, he promises that if we continue to put Kingdom interests first in our lives, he will take care of all our needs, spiritual and physical. ..." paragraph 14
This is one of the most abused concepts in the bible....
How many televangelists use this as a basis for their song-and-dance con job? And I'm lumping the Governing Body right in with them, using this scripture to divest the poor Rank&File of their hard-earned monies...
