    Hi all,

    Have you seen the July 8 Awake! in praise of police? Is it just me, or does this example of JW duplicitous doublespeak boggle your mind as well? I mean "we love you. officer and our community needs you...oh, by the way, become one of us and we'll insist you find another line of work.. or else!''

    Of course, none of the articles mention the "fine print" on Mr. Policeman's baptismal contract.

    Why am I not surprised?

    My thoughts exactly as I read it about a week ago.

    Yes, a very interesting article indeed.

    They praise the police in a magazine, but then the elders discourage the rank & file from having the police involved in any criminal matter within the congregation, so as not to bring reproach upon Jehovah's name. (i.e. pedophiles) <gag>

    Some of you have taken this article out of content. If it wasn't for the Police, we would not have a society.

    Are JWs still considered to have disassociated themselves if they join a police department? What about corrections work, or security companies?

    Who Would Jesus Disfellowship?

    No we didn't. We found it in the toilet, where it belongs.

    Farkel,

    Unless you was in there; how did you know it was in the toilet?

    Fred,

    : Unless you was in there; how did you know it was in the toilet?

    That's easy: Jehovah's Witnesses live in a religious sewer and that sewer is fed by their religious Masters in Brooklyn. Now think VERY carefully, Fred. Where does the stuff in sewers come from?
