  SBF yes I was thinking the same thing, after she never gets baptized for years so can't get shunned while pursuing a career, having a child before marriage, doing a nude photo shoot etc. - gets things in life out of the way and then gets baptized. Seems all too convenient. I'm not condemning her for the previous things, it's just the hypocrisy that gets me. (Reminds me of a certain Norm Macdonald routine 😆)

  I guarantee a significant portion of hours are simply invented.

  I know a lot of mine are, and I imagine that's true of many pimos. That's not counting all the massaged numbers from those who are mentally in!

  What an absolute joke 🤣 When everyone's a pioneer, no one is.

  Still, for someone who works full time 30 is significant. Notice how in the video that announced it (2023 GB update #1) Mark Sanderson passive-aggressively suggests that all Elders and Ministerial Servants will be expected to auxiliary pioneer when it's the 15 hour requirement. Not a huge deal, but still just another man made rule to add to the mix.

  in the opening scenes of the movie gone with the wind, a field worker hollers out, “”quttin’ time!” big sam protests, saying, “i’s da fo’man on tara.

  JW.org missing the point of the last supper

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  of course most christians partake in different ways at different intervals (the bible never says strictly annual) but obviously the main point is christ's flesh and blood.

  for jws the main attraction is the organization's sales pitch and in the new 2023 memorial invitation they pretty much admit it, quote:.

  the main feature of the memorial is a talk.

  Rattigan:

  You're using JW logic here. The running theme of Christianity is that the old law was a shadow of things to come, and says explicitly not to get caught up with specifics about rules and even dates. Similarly regarding the Sabbath, Paul said that rather than continuing to be weekly on a specific day it means living for Christ regularly.
