  About 'Regular' Pioneers

  by Gayle in

  2. friends

  now that district overseers have been deleted, now that bethelites are being devalued and increasingly dismissed, now that special pioneers are being deleted in u.s., and maybe elsewhere gradually.

  who would have ever thought?.

  yet, now what is the value to be a regular pioneer to the org?

  Imagine all of these regular pioneers being "promoted" by Jehovah to the top level of service overnight. "What a blessing "...

  Handing out candy

  growing up my parents would barricade our home off by parking vehicles bumper to bumper - you would have to crawl under the cars or over the bumpers to get to our door.

  also, we would turn off all the lights and hide in the back room away from the street.. that was the norm for me.

  isnt that insane?

  We would put up a sign on the street and a sign on the door that said:
  
  "No Halloween here"

  Most would not make it to the door. The few that knocked, we ignored.

  It's the "abyss" that Satan and the demons will be tossed into.

  Keep an eye on this one!

  i wanna make a poll here.

  how many years do you think the jdub cult will exist as is and what will happen to it?.

  i say the growth stops this year and starts to decline.

  All previous "big deals" did not have the power of the internet behind them and all the JWs "green lighted" to use the internet. ( at the meetings, even )

  Curiosity killed the cat and all that.
  I really need to place some JWFACTS signs here and there...

  one of the first things the landlord said to me.

  "in just a year i see such a big positive difference in you" .

  Congrats on your success. Many of us are reporting similar results.
  I've lost 75 pounds and have much better organized my home and belongings.

  I have an endless line up of projects and interests as well.
  It's amazing how much time we have when the end isn't coming tomorrow...

  Life is better on the outside.
  Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

  why do there have to be wars?

  why is there so much hatred?.

  the collective answer i came up with is natalisam, or maybe the correct word should be politics?

  Root cause of war and violence?

  Satan!
  Ba dah bump, cshhh!!

  Actually, it's common greed and desire for power, propped up by wealth. You really never see armies , countries or thugs running armed men that have no CASH.

  a number of years ago when i was still active, our service group was having a coffee break with the visiting circuit overseer.

  during the conversation he mentioned that the "society" was now being run like a business.

  being raised in the "truth" i thought that rather odd (and my eyes began to be opened!

  Any funny stories of when a"brother" giving a talk, said something "funny" or "questionable", and didn't even realize it?

  by Dunedain in

  there were always all types of speakers in the org.

  myself, growing up a "witness", must have heard all types of talks, and given by all manner of speakers, especially on sundays, when almost every week we would get a "visiting" brother giving the public talk.. sometimes, you would have a "great" speaker, all fluent and animated.

  other times we would get a comical speaker, one who would maybe purposelly get a few laughs outta the audience.

  The S.H.I.T. story.

  That happened in my area, too.
