I can't count how many times I would be at a door with a sister, who would say:
"I realize you must be busy so I'll be brief...."
and then proceeded to spend at least ten minutes giving a presentation. Longer if the person didn't object.

Circuit Overseer Field Service Advice
by MrFreeze inlol for some reason i was just reminded about the time a circuit overseer told my mom a good method of talking to householders was to say the following things "i don't have too much time to talk to you" or "i'm very busy today so i'll only share this one thought.
" .
i know if i had been at the door i woulda said "if you are so busy why the hell are you wasting time knocking on my door butthead?

Yep, I had a DF person tell me to stop talking to them as it would look bad for them if someone saw us.
It was at the mall and I didn't even realize the person was DF.

Counsellor needed please!
by stuckinarut2 inhi all.. i have noticed that many of our forum members have sought professional help from counsellors who deal with ones like us who have broken free from high control groups or "cults".. my self esteem has been rocked by recent events in the cong, and while i know ttatt it still has taken my joy in life away quite a bit.. as you all know, mentally i broke free from the org several years ago, but now that i am trying to start making the physical break, i feel really unsettled and nervous.. i wonder if a good counsellor could assist in helping me clarify and sort my feelings and emotions , and provide help to take practical steps to cut all ties with the org?.
if anyone can provide ideas of good counsellors, it would be appreciated.. thanks everyone!.

Hang in there stuck, remember you are a person, not a function, so removal of the title of MS doesn't diminish you.
I hooked up with a counselor when my shit storm happened and it was very helpful to have face time with someone who just allowed me to talk without judging me.
Be strong, and don't let the bastards get to you. Your life, your decision, everyone else will just have to deal!

Didn't look at the link, but where I live, meetings for field service have been on a downhill slide for years now. You would be lucky if two people turned up. The GB would have to be aware of this trend , if it is a universal one , which I suspect it could be. -

Jehovah's Witnesses activity game - Dressing and Undressing Children
by jwleaks inwith all the jehovah's witnesses child abuse scandals being reported on by the media around the world at the moment what were the governing body of jehovah's witnesses thinking?.

The game itself may well be innocent in the hands of innocent people, but it's not the innocent we need to be concerned about, it's the undetected pedophile that sees an opportunity to ask children to play dress-ups- just like Jehovah does. Pedophiles don't think like normal people, and making undressing a game to children is a recipe for disaster in my opinion. -

Why the Clean out of top Management
by Poztate init has been commented here that "soon" the do's will be history.
the co level will be "retired" at age 70 and the latest development was that the cobe can not serve after age 80. it would seem that there is a "cull" of top management.
in secular companys that would signal a radical change of directions ???.

So is the jury in on this yet, are they becoming more cult-like since this post from 7 months ago?
GBTV is definitely here.
