When these "little ones" get baptized, notice how they all gush over the fact that they got baptized so young. It's a brag fest! "My Suzy is better than your Johnny. She's at Bethel, a need greater, a pioneer, yadda, yadda, yadda." I wonder when we will see bumper stickers. "My child is a need greater in Africa." lol

43G Losch: child baptised at 5, reg pioneer since!
by fifth.column inat the end of april, there was a zone visit in france, with tv broadcast in all kh.. g. losch told he received a letter from a girl, 10 years old, baptised at 5, reg pioneer since 4 years !
what a fine example, he said....... let s imagine the faces of the parents in the kh!
i was happy to see i was not the only one to find it crazy.. if you have a child, you know how mature he is at 5. how can a child preach 2.5hours/day after 7hours of school and homework to do??

Mother's day according to Joseph Rutherford
by opusdei1972 inthis is what the second president of the watchtower society, the channel of god appointed in 1919, wrote about the mother's day:.
satan would turn the people away from this beautiful symbol, and therefore from god, and cause them to disregard the word of the lord.
this he does in a very subtle way by organizing what in england and in america, the chief countries of christendom, is called "mother's day".

I listened. I obeyed. Then I realized...
by stillin inwhat was that blessing part about?
i kept hearing pioneers talking about the blessings that they were receiving and as i looked at their lives objectively, there really isn't anything special about them.
maybe they are just more appreciative of things than other people.

"As I looked at their lives objectively, there really isn't anything special about them."
You are correct, there is NOTHING special about them. They think they are Jehovahs "special possessions."
We have need greater/pioneer family members and WOW do they think they are wonderful. So much better than you and not afraid to tell you. They really don't see how pathetic they look to some of the family. Legends in their own minds.
They sure know how to sniff the ones who have money! They only come around when they need something.

Why doe New light tick me off???? Next 2 weeks WT Studies
by zophar inif you have been a jw for 20+ years you may remember that the wt went into great detail on different illustrations that jesus used and the "type/anti-type" ridiculous explanations.
remember the revelation book and how those obscure jw conventions of the past pictured big things in heaven and the opening of seals?
anyway, the wt lessons for the next two weeks do two big things for me.

If it's sanctioned by the "Big Daddy's in NY" it's okay.
Who would ever think we'd have symbols and dancing at the Kingdom Hall!

Did You Feel Bad For the JW Dishwasher-Cook Who Quit His Job (May JW Broadcasting)To Avoid Attending Later Meetings? He Pioneered on Welfare or Unemployment!
by RoyalFlushPhil indid you watch the story about the jw who was working as a burger boy at some diner and his boss wanted him to work on sunday during the time of his meeting?
this faithful jw decided he could not attend a later meeting (6 pm sunday meeting) and soon quit his job(or got fired to attend his sunday meeting) so he could attend the sunday meeting he was assigned to.
i think he was on welfare because this story states he won't work on sunday morning because that's when his meeting is!

We had a Brother in our hall who lost his job and took the advise given at the Circuit Assembly. "If you loose your job, pioneer. Brothers who Pioneer are blessed, in due time, with a job offer." This is how it was spun at the Circuit Assembly.
This Brother did just that, Pioneered. Well...a few years later his pissed off wife went to the Elders and complained that he was not providing for her financially. The Elders met with the Brother and read him the ole standby scriptures about providing for his family (you know the drill). He ended up getting a job.
Moral to the story....in this religion....your damned if you do and damned if you don't. Crazy!!!

German Branch visit talk Mark Sanderson (Parents; don't hinder young children to get baptized)
by Daniel1555 inthe video streaming of the german branch visit program was excrutiating 3.5 hours long.. i just went to see the last 45 min (part of mark sandersons talk).. i think sanderson is quite a sympathetic speaker and he kind of made a loving impression.. he didn't mention controversial stuff (except for one thing i will come to soon).
he mostly talked about how to find joy, even when life is not easy, and how much the gb loves the rank and file.. one point seemed soooo important to him.
parents and children.

Well, I guess you have to get your future JW's somewhere. They aren't converting new ones.
You can't drive a car or drink a beer when you are 9-11 but you can dedicate your life to Jehovah.

Attention Lurkers- what the org is really doing
by stuckinamovement inthe message has changed dramatically from the good news of the kingdom and imitation of jesus to the following:.
1. keep your eye simple and try to find a low paying part time job so you can pioneer.
such jobs might be janitorial or house cleaning, yard care, etc.

Unfortunately , I was born a Sucker too. Our entire family. It took me almost 50 years to figure it out. I regret ever being born in this. It pisses me off every single day but my family and I will move forward with more determination than ever.
