not exactly here. but there is a rest stop along the freeway, and pioneers would drive up, counting time of course, and leave TONS of literature at the rest stop. got so bad that the authorities got involved. turns out pioneers from several congs were doing it. anything to get that time in!

Watchtower "litter-ature"
by Rufus T. Firefly inin the town where i live, it became customary some years ago for the pioneers to do the actual door-to-door work during the week, and their not-at-home records would provide the territory for the rank-and-file publishers on the weekends.
also, car groups of publishers would get an early start by driving around to the apartment complexes in their territory and leaving older issues of the magazines in the laundry rooms, a practice some called stealth witnessing.
many so-call publishers do nothing but stealth witnessing and wouldnt know how to actually talk to someone if they had to.

safety are good, you can get a used one on ebay. but different brands and different years have different closeness of shave. i highly recommend a straight razor. i used to restore old ones and sell them. PM me for more info.

Really weird sentence
by Moses Joe ini've been absent from meetings recently because i'm having serious life challenges that make me really not want to have to deal with all of the people and the sitting.
i had made an attempt to, "simplify my life" that rather than being blessed was meant with unemployment.
lol.. anyway, i finally got tired of all the phone calls checking up on me and sent a message to someone explaining that i just wanted to be left alone (an elder).

I got asked THE QUESTION !!
by Tech49 ina little experience that happened very recently:.
another brother, an elder, and i were talking, i was explaining to him and giving him several examples of how a couple of the elders in our congregation were blatantly trying to run their own show, parading themselves around as "representatives" of the body, when the other brothers didnt know what the hell they were talking about.
they are using their "elder powers" to bully and push people around, causing a bit of angst and hurt feelings.

A new member
by LP97 ini'm a 17 year old from scotland.
can i just say this site is absolutely brilliant.
finally found people with open minds and free thought that doesn't just consist of "well the wt told me this so it must be right".. my story is that i'm just like any other child of a jw...brought up into a life of indoctrination where "the world's" thinking is automatically wrong.. that is until i was 14 - a light turned on in my head.

i personally cant help but feel like this might slightly have been aimed at me. so if any of my comments have offended you paris, sorry. please just remember that this is an open forum to express personal views, which are at times going to be offensive to someone. we're all here because of our jw experience, be it a short time or a lifetime.
also remember that many of us are simply angry. angry at "god", angry at the bible, angry at religion. we've been beaten down, abused, enslaved, and shunned all in the name of religion.
all that being said, its nice to have you aboard.
