Get down from your moral highground.
BUT YOU can't be a true, failthful JW if you are visiting THIS site.
As a REAL JW, you should't be coming here at all.
The hypocrisy!!
I wish I knew which congregation you came from. I'd love to see what the elders had to say.
I got sick of the "Do as I say, not as I do" attitude from some Witnesses.
exelder - Trotters is a troll and not a real JW poster. Just ignore this fake user.
Still can't get over how many people think the "JTrottigy" signed up on this forum is the same one that is on "JWTalk".
People, people, people....it's a troll! Sheesh.
Okay...thanks for the heads up punkofnice. I will know in future.
Sir82...I didn't know....but do now.
PS. I have never been on JW talk.
Oh for sure..... I remember when, in the early 90's, when the WT Library first came out, we would manually type in all the scriptures for the WT lesson into the search bar. Then you could move all the scriptures over to a Word document, format them with paragraph numbers, print it out and have a quick reference for the WT study on Sunday. Then, my wife and I got hauled into the back room, and told how "inappropriate" it was to do that, it wasn't showing "respect" for the bible, and just how would it look to new ones??!! Then we had to have parts on the Service Meeting about how wrong it was to use anything but the bible itself. One time, a brother took a laptop up on the platform, and I thought that heads were going to explode! Audible "gasps" and all!
And, in not so many other words, stop doing it, or lose your "privileges". Oh how times have changed. Nowadays, if you don't have an iPad or tablet, you are not worthy of Holy Spirit in your life, and you certainly must not be following instructions!

I remember that stuff happening! Had a family member who did the same and also counselled on that. And now they tell me they don't have to look up scriptures at the meeting because it's all shown on a powerpoint or something now??
I remember trying to also witness on the internet and how that was bad, then suddenly jw.org and the internet is the greatest thing!
WT must be making a LOT of money now, with those automatic donations and not having to print anything anymore. Soon the entire WT organization will be the GB in their mansions and a team of 20 people in a cramped 1,000SF office in their cubicles writing digital WTs and books, while they rake in millions per month all over the world but give nothing back.
Remember, it wasn't that long ago that now suddenly it was OK to count your placements, if you "attached" them in an email. Now, mass email messages and you could count 100 placements! When I was a secretary in the congregation, we had a guy placing 200 books and 300 mags in a month. Everyone was just in awe over his "placement" levels! He was just SOOO SPIRITUAL !!!!
When I questioned him about it, and pointed out that it was pretty much an impossible number to do in the DTD work, he confessed that he was sending them as "attachments" , per WT guidelines! "facepalm" moment for sure.
Sorry Jtrott, I accidentally hit “like” on your comment.
