Does anyone else find this strange?

    There is a small threater(sp?) downtown that is now owned by an elder and his wife. the wife's dad is PO of the congregation.

    Each week there is a country gospel group performing at the place. The elder and his wife run ads in the newspaper telling what gospel group will be there and inviting the public to come(for a price of course)and the elder and his wife's name are included in the ad.

    Am I the only one that finds this strange for a JW couple to be involved in? When I see the wife in public she cannot even look at me or return my hello greeting to her. The husband talks but he has swindled a number of people out of money(including us) and is one slimy business guy.

    Any thoughts?

    Only one thought comes to mind.

    Can we say HYPOCRITE?

    If you wanted to be revengeful, you could send a copy of this ad to Watchtower and others who might find this interesting.

    Strange? not really,but I`m sure these 2 witnesses have convinced themselves that having gospel groups is in no way a conflict of interest . I knew a ministerial servant a few years back who was in the sign business ( he also did car pin-striping and graphics.He is now a circuit/district? overseer in the Toronto area) He was at a shop where I used to work and was doing a huge sign for a strip bar down town.This sign was fairly risque even for our lunch bucket town, it had the sillouette of 2 girls with great bodies in a really great pose! I asked him about it and he told me "it is just business and has nothing to do with how I feel about these places" I then asked him if he would be going into the bar to get paid. He said he might have to but only when the bar was not open. ( I guess Satan only goes there when the dancers are on stage, so he was probably safe) I then asked him how he would reply if the bar owner told other non-dubs about the great work this MS did and if the association with the bar owner bothered him. I was really grilling him about this because I too, thought it very strange . He did`nt like the questions because he flat out told me I was a big pain in the ass. To this day he reminds of Ned Flanders from the Simpsons, same moustache, same hair cut,same glasses, same stupid greetings......Howdy doodly neighbor. I still think if he got a lap dance at that bar he did the work at he would still be there with a fistful of 20$s.

    double standards as usual, but what do you expect from Jo-Ho's when money is involved. The question I always love to ask a Jo-Ho is ........... Why work, spend all your time in the field ministry, God looked after Job, don't you think he will look after you ?, Where's your faith ? . (okay that's two question's)
