Blue envelopes means male-eyes only, at the Jehovah's Witness world headquarters. It has nothing to do with the gender involved on the inside of the envelope and everything to do with the gender of the people allowed to open it, or even handle it, if mem serves. There are females working at Bethel, after all.

1) Can you die falling off a mountain? And if so, are you dead forever?
2) Can you swim in the ocean and die from fatigue?
2A) Die from drowning?
3) What if you stand in a bonfire?
4) What if you eat homemade recipes that are copies of the originals?  Will you just blow up to 800 pounds but NEVER die? Or will a perfect body be able to eat anything as often as you want and be thin all the time ……?? ( I think the JWs think there will not be overweight people in the New System)
5) How long can you hold you breath in the New system? 2 Minutes? 10 Minutes? 10 hours? ?
BONUS:
6) Is everyone expected to pray 100 times a day and talk about Jehovah and sing Kingdom Melodies? Will we die from that?
7) What happens to resurrected people that lived years ago who don't want to be witnesses? Don't they get resurrected and get taught ? What if Blackbeard says to screw off? Does he just POOF away?

Religious leader teaches children to donate their "ice cream money" to him for God. Same religious leader gets caught buying $1000 of top shelf scotch.
This guy presents videos to teach children they should give up their "ice cream money" to donate it to the organization instead. He's literally training children to give up any enjoyable things they might want to buy, to give to him and his buddies instead.
Then he gets caught here, on a Sunday morning when he's supposed to be at a meeting or ministering, buying almost $1000 of top shelf scotch instead.
The issue is not buying or drinking alcohol. It's the hypocrisy of it. Plus the fact that it was probably paid for with donations from his followers. But that cannot be proven.

I suspect @James Thomas Rook Jr. made this one... LOL

He snuck out on Sunday morning to go to a liquor store (bypassing many others stores close by) out of state to spend almost $1000 bucks on whiskey. He should have been doing 'pastoral' duties that Sunday morning in the Headquarters where he lives and runs the place.
Instead he dressed up in disguise; a trenchcoat, tennis shoes, and a low billed hat to go out of state at a special 'spiritual' time to get his liquor instead of dressing up in a suit with other brothers and going like normal, or having those under him purchase it.
Many critical thinkers here believe that it belies a dishonesty. He could have picked a better time and place, and manner of dress to get his 12 bottles of high end scotch, at the least. Also, the manner of his purchase suggests a bigger problem, not only with him, but within the compound itself, if this is allowed, while they preach the opposite to the masses.

How much time did you get on Saturday?
...
24 hours.

Barbara Anderson shares some of the details of her history dating back to the years when she was an active volunteer at the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society's New York headquarters. She watched as the leadership and ethics of Jehovah's Witnesses changed during her time there. Now she is an activist, writer, and documentarian on behalf of Watchtower victims that include abused children and women and members of broken families.

“If Jehovah protected every single one of his servants from any and all hardship at all times, what would satan say? That we only serve Jehovah because he makes our lives easy.”

Did you know that in the Bible someone lost their head while taking a nap? Does this make naps the work of Satan? How about those mothers who gave their children naps when they were young? Evil....EVIL......EVIL!!! NO MORE NAPS!
 
2 Samuel 4:5-7 "5 So the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, departed and came to the house of Ish-bosheth in the heat of the day while he was taking his midday rest. 6 They came to the middle of the house as if to get wheat, and they struck him in the belly; and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped. 7 Now when they came into the house, as he was lying on his bed in his bedroom, they struck him and killed him and beheaded him. And they took his head and traveled by way of the Arabah all night."

Witnesses don't care about the insane things said in 50 year old Watchtowers since they are "too old" but won't celebrate birthdays because a few thousand years ago there were some bad parties?
Not to mention customs/holidays they will avoid due to pagan origins from thousands of years ago.
The entire JW doctrine is a ball of contradictions.

Though there isn't any specific law, Jehovah's witnesses don't celebrate birthday because 2 Timothy 3:16 clearly states that we can use the inspired Word of God as a guiding tool in everything we do. From the two (2) celebrations recorded in the Bible, specifically Gen. 40:20-22 and Mark 6:21-27, we can easily discern that the two celebrants here, Pharaoh and King Herod, were pagans. You can also note that there is no record in the Bible about Christian celebrating birthday. Even Jesus did not command his disciples to celebrate his day of birth but instead he commanded them to observe his memorial death. For me, this is the simplest way to answer the question.

WOW!!!  - Starts at 2:00 about his JW topic.  Sad if it's true that Parents were the culprit, but goes to show how sometimes one can "irritate" their children.  I've seen it happen too.

Talk about being at the mercy of a bigger person's (even though imaginary) mood swings.

Imagine putting that on a child. 😔
Also, what a prissy, over sensitive asshole Jehovah sounds if the actions of a wee kid can affect his temperament in those extremes.
Cults will cult.

Who needs college when you have The Jehovah's Witnesses?
