  What do pioneers do if there no house to house? Sit and write moronic letters that likely will never be read or dial phone numbers and leave stupid messages that will be deleted? And I gather the hourly requirement is significantly less than the olden days 100 a month.....plus 100 mags placed...7 progressive studies.....forgot the number of return visits demanded.... Whats the point?

  she will soon get fed up with the cart "work" too--standing around for hours being ignored by the passers-by.

  just let her get on with it,..and talk to your lawyer.

  Do You Think “Protestors “Should Be Able To Shut Down Bridges Highways and Hospital Emergency Areas?

  by minimus in

  some believe protesters have the “right” to block main roads, traffic and other places simply because they have a right to protest something.. in la, two deputies were ambushed and shot in the head and as the ambulance tried to take the fallen deputies to the emergency room, protesters blocked the way chanting they wished the police would die!

  .

  in nyc blm protesters blocked the george washington bridge and other major highways and streets to protest for their cause.. do you think this is acceptable?

  How do you switch off the thoughts of being raised JW and feelings of anger

  by Zeds Dead in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  raised as a jo blow and married into it.

  37 years in it and now last 7 years out of it which feels great.. have memories of being a kid in school in the uk and just hating everything about being the jw kid.

  bullied, embarrassed in front of others and self-esteem went into the toilet.wished i was born into a different family.. what angers me is the messaging i would receive at home when i talked about being bullied.

  hello Zed: are you able to say where abouts in the UK you were when you were a dub ?

  i was born in birmingham--and attended hockley and west bromwich congregations ( i even hate that word ).. that was in the 60's. Then i moved to the Isle of Wight and it took a few years till i broke all contact with the cult in 1981.

  my greatest fear as a kid was the deemunz !

  The Re-Opening of the Kingdom Halls

  by LetTheTruthBeKnown in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it's been six months since the kingdom halls have been closed.

  i believe here in ontario, canada that you are now allowed to have up to 50 people congregate together.. that was the average attendance before they did all the merging of the congregations.

  they should have went back to the original pre-merger congregations.

  i think more use of assembly halls could ensue--especially in area with several Khs, for instance--forget public talks--total waste of time. just the watchtower study. An assembly hall could easily accommodate six or more different congregations over the weekend. just make the dubs travel a bit further. or just one great big congregation. still keep the zoom hook up for those unable to get there.

  there--fixed it.

  So the elders gave my 19 year old daughter a shepharding call depression ensues!

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  against our wishes she got baptised at 16 because she got brainwashed by her cousin.

  the last year or so she hasn't been so gung ho about the "truth".

  anyway the elders came down on her for not getting her time in the last couple months because she absolutely hates zoom letter writing.

  Ok, We Need To Talk About The Latest Caleb & Sophia Cartoon

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  (as of 10 sep 2020) there's a new caleb & sophia cartoon in which the org puts into the minds of children the idea that celebrating a birthday will cause jehovah to not want to be your friend anymore.. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/children/become-jehovahs-friend/videos/trailer-jehovah-forgives/.

  can you imagine being 6 years old and thinking god himself is no longer your friend because you blew out a candle on a birthday cake or wished someone a happy birthday?.

  as bad as all this is, the birthday thing is just one of many jw rules that isnt even supported by scripure.

  poor kids frightened of the big invisible bogey man in the sky. and dubs wonder why so many born in kids leave the cult when they grow up.

  David Splane's 2020 Conventionl talk ....''Jehovah has to come first''

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  '' has your desire to put jehovah first been tested during this pandemic?

  you lost your job and you searched for another one.

  finally, after a long search, you found one but it was a job that would require you to miss all your meetings and field service.

  Splank:

  
  

  Pray to Jehovah and then wait. Hold on a little longer to see what Jehovah would work out for you.''

  is this the same god that doesnt seem too good at controlling this virus ?
