  Shorter meetings for field service

  by hoser in

  march kingdom ministry insert is about how the field service meetings will be shortened from 10 to 15 minutes down to 5 to 7 minutes.

  they want the publishers to report more hours.

  in my experience the problem isn't the length of the meeting for service but pioneers and publishers dogging it after the service arrangement.

  How much instruction does one need for shoving a tract about a website into some householders hand, and then running away before they have a chance to ask a question??

  I had a scary experience when a male householder followed me from house to house around the territory all the way back to car.

  And yep, I encountered the occasional naked guy at the door.

  what kind of response could you expect if you let everyone in your congregation know that.

  "... i hate those stupid caleb cartoons.

  i hate his crazy mother.

  ABCNews Nightline: Segment on JW absuse cases here......

  by WingCommander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here is the segment on the conti abuse case in california and jehovah's witness's response as reported on by the abcnews nightline broadcast which was shown early this morning.

  it really displays some absolutely shocking behavior from not only her abuser and his (supportive) wife, but also the jw attorneys and elders via video.

  i am just blown away by the audacity displayed by these monsters.. we can now understand why governing body member stephen lett slipped in his comments a couple of weeks ago about "untrue reports of child abuse" in one of his talks which can viewed on the cult's website.

  Wishful thinking I know but, boy, it would be nice to think that one day the WT's house of cards will come tumbling down.

  once again the beloved and loving governing body are demonstrating their utmost disdain for the rank and file members of the jehovah church.

  let us review this interesting trend, starting with some facts!

  yay, facts!!!

  As far as I know the only criteria for being annointed (apart from being baptized) is:

  You just know you are. Now with criteria like that, the question shouldn't be why is there confusion, but why wouldn't there be! The arrogance and ridiculousness of the GB and their damn rules about who is good enough and who isn't is beyond belief.

  If numbers of partakers continue to rise they will have some serious questions to answer, so maybe in future you will have to "qualify" to be annointed.

  Whenever anyone tried that old "this could be the last...." with me I would look them straight in the eye and say very dryly "no, it won't," the look on their face would be priceless.

  Most people equate sheep with mind less behavior - especially blindly following along with the crowd.

  Only a cult could turn that into a positive.

  a situation I know of and the mind set of the elders.

  by joe134cd in

  ok here's the situation i know of.. a women was in a situation where she was forced to reveal a hidden sin and was given a private reproof for it.

  before this she had an other wise clean slate.

  btw the reproof was for an unrelated matter and had nothing to do with apostasy.
