i have a friend (ex workmate) and a jw ex workmate calls on her and has done for 6 years , i recently asked her what they talk about , she said she gives me some mags that go straight in the bin when she leaves but we have a good gossip about my love life and my kids what she has been up to (not a lot as she ia 40 year old virgin) and she never mentions jesus armageddon bla bla . if she stays 2 hours do you reckon the fact that she leaves the mags means she would count her time , did anyone else do that ? it prooves its nothing to do with serving god ! what a swizz!
getting time in is quite dishonest !

my wife had a "call" where she went to this girls house about once a month. my wife picked her up, they go to breakfast, shop for awhile, then have lunch, shop some more, and then she took her home and that is it. she counted the whole day because she says she gives her the mags when she gets there and then they talk about "the truth" during the day. one day, my wife said her husband was coming along and wanted me to come along. we spent the whole day hanging out and had a great time. we are still good friends with them but we never mention anything about "the truth" now. they have made it clear that they do not want to travel down that road and we respect that. my wife stopped counting the time when they made it clear they were not interested. they thought that we would stop doing stuff with them after that but my wife and i both said absolutely not. they are so much fun. but yes, my wife would get 8 hours a month just for that.

I think active j-dubs who have turned apostate should count the time they spend slandering the name of jehoobie

not only did i never turn in
a single minute of "pretend"
F/S time, the pioneer i was
partnered with (a thing our
BoE did was pair up pioneers
with prospects who might
get suckered into pioneering)
did everything legit and by the
numbers! we did BS on schedule
and covered real territory, not
just tossing the litter-ature into
a laundromat!!D' OH! what a rube i was!

Not to fret. You will receive your reward in ... ummm oh wait. nevermind.
Yeah. Rube may be the right word. You and me...~~!!!
Actually, somewhere along the line I started 'borrowing' a few hours from the following month. That was at an elders suggestion to I could stay active. Pretty sure that I didn't subtract the full hour when submitting my next report.
