the irony of letter read at meeting this week and CO visit

nowwhat?

the number 3 talk was about organized religion and the householder was lamenting how her church is always asking for money. then lo and behold we get a letter read from the branch about more donations!! then the visiting CO give his his talk on how we should be encouraging our bible studies to share the truth with others. this it might actually work if it was'nt for the fact that no one has any bible studies! goes to show the delusional world they live in. gotta laugh otherwise i would lose my mind

Cognitive dissonance at its best. How about when they have baptism talks at an assembly where nobody is getting baptized?

OTWO: baptism talks when there is no baptism. A good definition of an outfit totally institutionalized--cant think outside the box.

This sounds exactly like my meeting last night with our CO. Talk about deja' vu. This is my first CO visit since learning TTATT. I have never been so bored in my life. I used to sit on the edge of my seat dissecting his teaching style, lines of reasoning, etc to see how I could imitate him and become a better teacher and speaker. This time, I sat in the back of my seat with a blank stare on my face thinking "This guy is full of it." (That's being polite.)

That's fantastic!!!

The irony is that--if anyone notices--no one can say anything about it.

And what about that washtowel study a few weeks ago hounding the witlesses to give more while cutting back on their income? Even going so far as stating that the "temple" is not complete because you spent funds on food, that Nintendo 3DS, Pokemon, that Fenix LD22 flashlight you realize you needed after Sandy, about 15 CREE LED light bulbs, or that nifty fluoride filter for your water. The article referred to Nehemiah, going as far as stating that Israel had the exact same problem. Thus, if joke-hova were to show up and you have that flashlight you got after Sandy, it might insinuate that you prevented its temple from being completed and you are damned.

Just a few paragraphs later, that same washtowel article hinted that, unless we cut back on our work, we are not serving joke-hova to the full. That makes it impossible to get back the money. At least regular church, as money-grubbing as they are, doesn't restrict you from making more money the way the jokehovian witlesses do.
