    "exemplary ones" Ass kissers that tick all the JW boxes. As long as they look good on the outside, who cares what's on the inside. I'm thinking, "whitewashed graves full of dead mens bones."

    "kingdom interests" It's okay for a good JW to go off to college, as long as he is doing it for "kingdom interests." This has actually been said to me. In other words, he or she can go off to college as long as it can benefit WT ($$$$$).

    Don't forget about the right-hearted ones "taking the lead."

    Yes, stillin, taking the lead but the elders are not "leaders." Yet the WTS has said that the elders are shepherds of the flock.

    elders = shepherds

    Therefore, the shepherd’s joy is in the lead position, paying attention to all the congregation of God, beckoning them to ‘become imitators of him, even as he is of Christ.’—1 Cor. 11:1.

    A good shepherd will lead sheep to tender grass and clear water.

    Someone asking if someone was in "good standing"irritated me so much

  • stillin

    08out, yes, and one being "in good standing" is still not quite as good as one being "qualified" to perhaps have the privilege of standing next to a literature cart. So many levels of being in that religion...
