so, i have been badgered recently to do some kind of family study by my wife.
thanks to tv.jw.org i now have a really easy tool to use that not only passes this time but actually makes them question the organisation.. our sessions skipping through the delights of the monthly broadcast have been very interesting.
derision at the wooden delivery of the gb.
Good for you! I feel like I score a little victory every time something new and stupid is said on the broadcast. My husband is so irritated by the money and time spent making the trolley video....
can someone get screen shots of the rings? Herd and his helper had one and so does Morris and Lett. Herd had it on his right pinky, his helper had a similar one on his right ring finger. Is it like a brothers of Christ ring, haha?
check out the song about the trolley at the end of this month's dubcast.. http://www.jw.org/download/?fileformat=mp4&output=html&pub=jwb&issue=201502.

I showed this to my husband, within 15 seconds he was disgusted. He asked if he was supposed to show this to other intelligent humans. He also mentioned it's weird, as in, "f%*$ing weird witnesses are playing non JWs interested in the literature, to be viewed by only JWs"
also.... The new Caleb and Sophia, Pay Attention at Meeting, is ridiculous. Especially as a parent....the fear, guilt, shame techniques. He was mortified they produce this crap and feels bad for the future kids who don't live up to the fake cartoon characters.
Thanks JW broadcasting for helping to wake up my husband!
i was deleted as the cobe after i let my adult child move back home and he admitted that he fornicated under my roof while my wife and i where away on a rbc project.
of course the elder mode in me kicked him out of the house.. the elders moved quickly to remove me because i was too involved in "theocractic activities", i had neglected my adult son.. i accepted this primarily because i didn't want to serve with a boe that did not want me.
i was devastated however because it was the only life i knew.
I can't wait to hear more from you. Especially about your view and pressures of being a " regular publisher". That was what brought me here, always feeling like we were worthless scum on the bottom of the JW totem pole.
This place is overwhelming at first; all the information, research, and hilarious personalities make it a wild ride.
do you keep falling asleep during meetings and assemblies?
long and boring home studies?

i know dubs are delusional.
i know dubs don't reason well.
i know dubs are a bit off, like many groups.
Good thing we didn't go this week, my kids hate the cartoons and ask me to turn them off. I guess I produced rebellious offspring, I never thought I would be so proud!
just when you think you've heard it all............in my research for my project, i was doing some digging around on the subject of the 144,000 and came across something in the wts's literature that absolutely stunned me and, being the generous soul that i am , wanted to pass it on to you to get your thoughts on this.. .
we all know that the society teaches that the 144,000 mentioned in revelation is speaking of "spiritual israel" and not 'fleshly israel' or even other christians in general right?
there are countless quotes throughout the literature that we are all familiar with that specifically state this, but to drive home a point, here are a few:.
I found this gem, I am using this angle to my spouse out of 'concern' with some of our JW understandings. It started with John 10:16 and our view of the 'other flock'. The inconsistencies with it's reasoning and then this thread on the 144k. This post was written 6 years ago, I looked up the scripture Matt 19:28 on the JW website and found this article written sometime within a year of this post I believe? I would say they read here and were covering their butt? It's this article :
W10 3/15 pg 24-28.
Sorry I can't get it to copy and paste on here.
yesterday, i brought a batch of cupcakes to my son's school.
in passing them out, i started to give one to one of the children, who was a jw.
he immediately started freaking out and screaming "no thank you" over and over.
i don't want to turn in my token time anymore.
it's only a few hours counting what we do with the kids.
i don't want it counted for their skewed statistics- or to just for the sake of doing it.
Thanks for the replies. The consensus seems to be to wait. I want to play my cards well, if cornered for time, I would give in to their demands because otherwise I would open my mouth and tell them service was crap along with everything else!
We miss quite a few meeting with the nature of our careers and family life. So, the kids don't hear too much on a regular basis. But still, my desire is one day to be totally out.

The husband isn't used in any capacity, so what will happen, A shepherding call before the CO visit? If they even care?
We plan on moving in a year, should I just keep turning in time until we move and my card is moved? Or does it not matter. We live all around family and have some in our hall, they aren't a servant, but their tight in the social circles. They wouldn't shun me because of it so that isn't a concern.
