thank you guys for reassuring me that folks lied about their time....I always said this to my mother but of course her live and die for the orginization a** believed the JW's didn't do anything wrong....what she didn't know was that I always added extra hours and magazines to my time....I hated talking to the brothers about ANYTHING over the phone...it was always in regards to something I didn't want to talk about anyway! And for the record once again, I hated field service!

The WTS probably wouldn't go for it.....but man I would love to see that....Can you imagine what decisions they would make for the money.....okay you guys can get $1,000 to get some decent clothing to wear to the meetings I'm planning on taking you guys to and the remaining $49,000 will go to the society to support the worldwide work!

Godly Obedience in 2005
by truthseeker inyep, "godly obedience" is the theme for this years district convention.. you know the wts will be hot on obedience this year.. expect more wt articles asking for money (as obedience to jehovah), asking for more pioneers and elders, and making this a matter of obedience.. it's getting worse.. at the meeting this week, a whole 25 minutes was taken up on what to do regarding accomodation at the district convention.. brother zealous said if we're not obedient to the instructions that the faithful slave has given us, we undermine the hard work the society puts in to arrange these provisions.. godley obedience means we will attend all three days at our convention.. .
this cult makes me sick.
everything is about jehovah; jesus just does not figure in anything, unless they feel the need to quote a scripture or something.. .

per Voyagers post....the same thing happened here in Milwaukee....for as long as i can remember, the conventions have been held @ the Dane County colisuem in Madison, WI...(a very outdated place) now they have to go to some other place in Rockford IL because attendance in Madison was so low....yet they are a "growing" orginization and the "little one shall become a thousand"....<======= does that still apply to JW's?

Do you think that JW's will print a "new" book on Revelations?
by booker-t inthe wts has printed several books on revelation since it's inception in 1879. many of the prophecies that were predicted in the studies in the scriptures book failed miserably.
next the two "light" books the same predictions were reworded failed also.
the society tried again with the 60's books then is the finished mystery of god book and the babylon the great has fallen book.

well they made a "Daniel" prophecy book and in 95 ( i think that was the year) we had to revisit the "Revelation IGCAH book again at the society's urging....I guess they didn't get it right the first time....or as I like to call it "Revelation-the remix"......

I liked the friends that I made. We had alot of fun outside the KH...all of us led double lives LOL....the hotels we stayed in during the conventions were always fun (being that the coventions were our only family vacation) I loved finding out that my friends were staying in the same hotel at us....we would have alot of fun in the pool...the intermissions at the conventions and circuit assemblies were fun..and some of the weddings and receptions were cool too (when you were invited)...and every once in a while there was actually a talk that I benefited from....but as we all know everything else INCLUDING the congregation picnics SUCKED! The picnics were doomed from the start..it always RAINED...it was a sign......

JW ignore you for good reason
by one inthis is not an introduction to sociology, just typing without much reflection.
do you think the wt would survive if they did not shun or ignore "apostates" (or anyone who does not follow the rules), be realistic, jw org is still an small group with survival instincts..
besides ignoring, is a very tipical human trick anyway, or do you think you could be accepted in any private club you want to?

how long disfellowshipped?
by sugarbritches inhi- when someone is disfellowshipped- how do the elders determine the amount of time for the disfellowshipping to last?
my friend- perhaps i should say my ex friend has been disfellowshipped for 3 years- for singing in a small local country band with me- a non-witness.isn't that a bit extreme?
i haven't seen or heard from him in over a year.
