I met a JW in town yesterday while I was wearing this t shirt. It didn't even occur to me it was a problem because it is a joke , but he seemed really annoyed about it and kind of cut me short.
Do you think most JWs would object or was he unusual?
Would this t shirt get you in trouble

...We in the JW have no sense of humor that we are aware of...
I know many who are really oversensitive, and ZERO sense of humor about anything. They are extreme in the dogma. I remember once saying "look this fish is pregnant" in front of a 14 year JW girl, and had my butt handed to me on a plate for teaching her the word "pregnant".
Yeah some can be extreme.

I think it all depends on where you live. In some places it seems the jw's are stuck in a weird time warp, in others, they have seem to have more common sense. blond-monent, I had a strange experience like your "pregnant" one. I had to get to a restroom in a hurry( too may cups if tea in service), and said I had to pee deaperately. A teen-age girl said she had to pee as well, and her Mother ler her have it!"What have I told you about that word?!" blah, blah blah. I felt bad, but thought the Mom was a jerk. They can be a strange group sometimes.

Jesus H Christ, even looking at what was on your T Shirt is crazy, I mean look at it and getting annoyed. Who cares? The term get a life springs to mind.

I have a big problem with the T-shirt. The man should sit in front of a computer, not the TV.

And yet, a drawn out discussion of the dangers of porneia (pre-marital oral sex, masturbation, etc) in front of the entire congregation is perfectly acceptable because "it's good food".
