  Perversion of a truth

  These are things that were said or insinuated, I start with the first 15. Enjoy!!

  1. Working for a corporation in the city makes you fall out of the truth.

  2. If you become inactive or leave Jehovah you will make your whole family sad and ruin everything.

  3. All worldly people cheat.

  4. All worldly people curse.

  5. 21yrs old isn't old enough to leave home.

  6. When working for a big company, the more you give the more they take.

  7. The society doesn't want you to have any freedom or independance.

  8. When you start to become spirtually weak or inactive you also become violent, being to view porn, things won't go well for you, you will lose your job, have serious regrets and generally become unhappy with your life.

  9. All worldly people play horrific violent video games.

  10. All JW's have super clean organized houses and worldly people have messy slums.

  11. Worldly people are bad people!

  12. People who become inactive are bad people.

  13. All worldly people drink or smoke.

  14. If you work for a corporation and not for yourself you will be chewed up and thrown away.

  15. Inactive witnesses always run from the police running into other cars, and WILL abandon you just to try to save themselves.

  LOL!!

  16) Good JW parents sing "kingdom melodies" together in the kitchen!!

  17) JW's who have their own businesses live in 200,000 dollar homes!!

  Not trying to ruin your post, I did notice many of the same things. I was laughing at the home of the JW family. Very few dubs live that well. That family certainly was not simplifying their life. So many poor JW's live at or near the poverty line. The WTBTS should have painted a more realistic picture of how most dubs live. I know very few Jw's with that kind of income.

  18. It is ok for parents not to break up a physical fight in the home, if the older sybling is chastising the young sinner.

  19) Good JW families have time to cook, set place settings, read the text, and happily enjoy breakfast together, every day.

  20) Fortune 500 companies are in the habit of offering jobs mere hours after a first interview to unqualified, inexperienced, uneducated 21 year olds because the boss "likes them"

  21) It's easy to pioneer when your parents are wealthy enough to set up "savings accounts" for their grown-ass "children".

  A nearby congregation is one of the wealthiest in the circuit. A lot (a LOT) of parents are supporting their lazy, shiftless, ambitionless 20-somethings who "put the kingdom first" while pioneering.

  Mommy and Daddy buy them a SUV (good for field service!) but it's a Toyota, not an Escalade, because that would be ostentatious. They only spend $20,000 or so on a 2 or 3 year old model, so as not to give the appearance they are materialistic.

  The kids work 15 or 20 hours a week at the Starbucks so they have money to pay their smart phone bills and eat out with friends.

  im still shocked by this, i mean, 15 years ago the "bad guys" or "bad things" in a JW drama were murder, stealing, fornication, fighting, drunkeness, drugs, etc. But now "bad things" are getting a job, moving out of your parents house, moving in or being friends with a brother that plays video games, working full time, not working for your parents business.

  i mean in that drama when the kid at 21 moved out of the house to live WITH A FELLOW JW, the parents acted as if he was disfellowshipped. the mother exclaimed "this is like a death!"

  they are insane.

  24) It's perfectly acceptable to trample on the feelings of the co-worker you just slept with, who had spent months developing a close friendship with you, because she's a worldly female, and like all worldly females, she must be a strumpet.

  The feelings of worldly strumpets are utterly irrelevant, even if she cares enough for you to let you in on a rainy night after your best friend trashes your car and manages to frame you for drunk driving.

  So, yeah, sleep with her, then jump out of her bed 3 minutes later and go outside and cry in the rain. her feelings don't matter. She's going to die a violent death at Armageddon anyway. Her life & feelings are meaningless.
