Yes, thank you, Kent, for posting the August KM here. I would like this feature to keep happening, if you feel motivated enough, or when time is available. It's amazing how a glimpse of one's past can vindicate so strongly one's decision to start a new life away from Jehovah's Witnesses.
As this was the first Kingdom Ministry I have seen since outting myself 18 months ago, it struck me immediately how nothing's changed.
I suppose it never does with the poor ole Watchtower $ociety and its hamstrung followers. There was the usual hammering for disciples to keep doing more 'in Jehovah's service'. And another tired old nag about showing manners and wiping your shoes before entering the book study. Life is so hard and complicated in JWdom, isn't it?
That piece about managing 'leisure pursuits properly' would have been an interesting sit-in for the first week in August. Just watching the ridiculous, half-cooked role playing that goes on within these 'demonstrations' used to alwaysd secretly amuse me. I used to passively enjoy the way an elder used to 'lovingly' inquire of the deliquent Witness couple why they are not making all the meetings and/or getting out in Field Service enough
"You've been too busy with summer activities": no doubt, enjoying yourselves too much. But there hasn't been much summer down here in the Southern Hemisphere these past few months of winter. Oh well, I guess time zone fluctuations gives those Bethel boys in Sydney something to do in the "writing dept" by having to doctor the seasons to suit the location.
Why don't they publish some real news for a change?
