Auxiliary Pioneer ya lazy B*$tard$!!!

Open mind

For those who no longer get your monthly KM, I thought I'd just share a little "encouraging" tidbit from the material scheduled for this week's Service Meeting (tm).

There's a 20 minute "regurgitate the paragraph" session entitled "Pioneer or Die" or something like that. I can't remember the exact title right now, but it was one of the most blatant "Beat the Sheep. Do more, Do more. You're not good enough" articles I've seen in quite a while.

Anyway, here's the kicker:

We all know that by the time the very last part on the Service Mtng. rolls around half the audience is at least zoning out if not actually asleep.

So to make sure no one misses out on the unmistakable GUILT MESSAGE, the F&D slave saw fit to insert a "Bullet Point" text box smack dab in the middle of the page. Are you ready? Here's the gist of it:

*************************

People in these situations may be able to Auxiliary Pioneer:

Families

Full Time jobs

Elderly

Infirm

Students

***************************

So what's your excuse?

>> entitled "Pioneer or Die" or something like that.

LOL -- love it!

Beautiful, isn't it? Sometimes people argue that a "real" cult kills people, ala Heaven's Gate. I think it's worse to force people into this slavish, guilt-ridden life.

Newbie in the Writing Department: "Hey, when Jesus said, 'My yoke is kindly and light', do you think he meant that maybe serving him shouldn't be so hard?"

Presumably, they transfer people like that to the Cleaning Department...

You had me going there for a second until I read the following sentence.

I wonder how many will respond to the beating from the GB to do more this time?

I take it you listen to Randy Rhodes when you aren't at the meetings.

Damn you Outlaw! Now you've gone and given them a title for their next article. What were you thinking?

This is the biggest thing I CONSTANTLY undermine the Watchtower on with my kids. (FWIW, none of them were paying ANY attention during this part. They were alternating between "zone out" and full-on snoring. Much to the chagrin of the look-down-their nose types wo have never had kids.)

OM: "Son/Daughter: You can do WHATEVER you want; if you want it bad enough."

"And I'll be here supporting you all the way. Can't say the same for the rest of the extended fam, but I'm here for you no matter what."

Didn't have a clue who she was til you wrote that. Now that I've "Wikipedia"ed her I'll have a listen. Thanks.

Does the society mean that if you meet more than one criteria you should still be able to pioneer.

How about the elderly infirmed family man with a full time job and going to night school. Does he need to pioneer?

I don't think that's what the ARTICLE was shooting for, but our gung-ho Service Overseer inadvertently (I think) went right for the jugular. He said something along the lines of: "So if someone falls into one, or even ALL, of these categories, does that mean they can't pioneer?"

I could NOT...... FREAKIN'....... BELIEVE IT. To be fair, the "even all" was just an off-the-cuff thrown in phrase, but he still said it. Idiot.

My take on the ARTICLE was that they are sending the message that just belonging to ONE of these former "Protected Groups" is no longer an automatic "Get Out of Guilt Free" card. Just because you're in one of these groups, you still need to carefully, prayerfully, guilt-riddenly take it to Jehovah and maybe, just maybe, he'll let you off the hook. If you feel really bad about it.

Did anyone else see this bit of food at the proper time?

OpenMind.....I wish I could say that is original comedy material written by me......The fact is..The WBT$ really does have "WBT$ information Cards" for hospital bedside tables.....You really can do Field Service in a Coma!.....And..It`s WBT$ approved!.. Laughing Mutley ...OUTLAW

OUTLAW:

The WBT$ really does have "WBT$ information Cards" for hospital bedside tables

This is the first I've ever heard of this Outlaw. For the benefit of lurkers, I'm gonna call you out on it. Have you seen these yourself? How do you know about them? Can anyone else confirm this? Former HLCers perhaps?

If it's true, then your previous statement.........

The WBT$ has absolutely no Shame.............OUTLAW

............is even more sickeningly true than I thought.

p.s. I don't REALLY doubt you OUTLAW, just doing my due diligence.
