  Field service is not a command.

  When Jesus said "Go forth and make disciples" he was not giving a command. He gave no commands, that was not his style.

  The disciples were wondering what to do. They traveled with him for 3.5 years, he died like he did, he was resurrected and appeared to many. They wondered, 'Now what' by asking if he was going to restore the kingdom to them at that time, thinking the kingdom was earthly. (They didn't know about the gentile times ending in 1880 more years). As Jesus ascended he told them that they were to preach.

  But that is not a command, it was something for them to do.

  Good morning, nice to see you. TTATT is an in-house term, The Truth about the Truth. http://jwfacts.com/

  You're a closet rebel, aren't you? You've managed to sneak by all the warnings about the internet and check things out for yourself.

  Who pays the Conti settlement? The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of course, which indirectly comes out of the contributions by individual Jehovah's Witnesses. Money may be raised by selling real-estate, but it is still assets paid for by the sweat-equity of a Witness somewhere, sometime. Have you noticed how donations are not to be specifically marked for one relief effort or another? This allows the WTS to direct the donations any way they want.

  Is this the day you lead field service?

  I'm taking it on the 21st.

  Also, I have been told I can't play ice hockey by my elders!!!

  i love fights on the ice but now I can't do it! Why can't I play ice hockey?!? This is a sad day for me.

  can someone shed some light on this for me? I look forward to your helpful advice.

  Panthers. In a nutshell YOU pay for the paedophile cover ups by your contributions to whatever the worldwide work is supposed to be.

  You can't play hockey because that takes you outside the cult compound.

  You must realise you are being micromanaged by a corporation that just wants your money so that the Governing Body can live like rock stars...oh, and so they can enjoy power over you.

  Have you noticed how the watchtower is now turning all JWs to worship the Governing body in subtle ways?

  May I draw your attention to JWFacts.com please

  Dismissing servant

  I think the official explanation is that ice-hockey is physically agressive as a sport.

  The real explanation is what Mr Punk said earlier. Besides, playing in a team of wordlies is not looked upon as something good.

  Panthers. It is good to question.

  Eventually you will see how the watchtower is actually a cult despite their protestations to the contrary.

  Do not be afraid to ask questions here.

  We will give you the honest low down. For instance I was an elder, born in....it was becoming an elder that made me see the truth about the so called truth®

  I saw that it had nothing to do with christian love but was just s greedy business.

  Check out their involvement with the U.N.

  Simple. You got hooked in to the wrong religion.

  Hey FL P...I'm a Canadiens...once all the MS were called into a meeting with the elders and ordered to stop playing hockey at the arena. Their reason was that we shouldn't have organized recreation...that it should be random such as going to the ice rink at the park. We told them that at the park we had to play with worldly people who curse and play rough. At the arena we had control on what was going on. They agreed but said it shouldn't be every week and they didn't understand that we have to sign a contract with the arena to have the ice. They threatened to remove us as servants for devoting too much time to recreation. So I asked them if they watched TV. They all said yes...more than one hour a week? Of course...how is that any different than the weekly hockey game? What if I replaced hockey by taking knitting, spending every Friday night doing it? Forbidding hockey was easy for them because none of them played it...like forbidding knitting wouldn't affect us because none of us knit...Our game was at a decent time not to interfere with meetings or service and we had fathers and sons playing together. We included single parent kids...Still they didn't agree. The issue was discussed when the CO visited...little did they know that I often ran into him at the local NHL hockey games...end of the story. Today I am out of this cult and I no longer let anyone else dictate every aspects of how I should live my life...no one should ever submit to this type of slavery.
