Cali,
My handle on MTMMO is "c5c5" next time you log on! Maybe see you on there. I frequent "Money Talks" the most and the "The Water Cooler."

I don't bump into witnesses anymore...............
by JH ini remember years ago, i couldn't pass a day or two without seeing a witness someplace, either walking or in their cars going door to door or just traveling to the hall.
often i'd see them at the grocery store or at the bank.. but it's been months now since i've seen a witness.
gee it's fun not to run into them anymore.

I bumped into my x jw friends all the time after my DisAss. I moved to a new town and only once found mags left in my door. I have moved again and have not seen any witnessing or any mags left in our door. I have seen a couple Kingdom Halls, but never anyone there.

Ozzie's Weekend Poll #153 What did you look at first?
by ozziepost insorry we're a bit late for the downunder mob, but you in the regions of the northern hemisphere may still be enjoying your weekend.. misspeaches: you could read this when you get to work in the morning, eh?
anyway, as promised in an earlier thread, it'd be amusing to compare notes on this one:.
what part of the magazines did you look at first?.

Other: Young People Ask articles. It was love-hate with YPA, because I wanted info to be a good little jw, but I also did not want to hear that we could not spend time with the opposite sex except in groups and only when dating! I also looked at WTW and QFR to find interesting tidbits. They did carry a very nice article one time in the mid 90's about the story of the mother cat who went back into the burning building to rescue her kittens. I think her name was Scarlett? Did anyone else recall that story? I did like that one very much.

Great to hear that you all listen to Dave as well. Do any of you belong to MTMMO? I just joined in June, even though I have been an avid listener since 2003. It is great to meet you all! And yes, Dave makes a lot of cents! I am currently on BS 3.

While You Were A JW, What Things Struck You To Raise Your Eyebrows?
by minimus ini'll never forget the time the circuit and district overseers told the elders that from now on the elders would be solely responsible for all judicial matters and that if anyone was going to get sued, it was not going to be the society.
at that point, the 2 overseers laughed outloud.
i knew we were going to get screwed for sure because the watchtower society was already setting us up.

Probably the first thing I raised my eyebrows at finding out was that Special Pioneers recieved (at least at that time) money from the society to help them out with thier pioneering. Maybe it wasn't a big deal, but I was never comfortable with that. When we were told to stop asking for money for the literature and instead ask for donations---that was a red flag for me. I knew the organization was trying to be pre-emptive with possible legal matters. When the required hours per year was reduced for pioneers. This happened when I was out of the org, but I still raised my eyebrows. Very interesting for more that a few reasons. Oh, and when I was stricly ordered to stop writing letters to folks in order to maybe count one extra hour a month. I pointed out to the elder in the Org Book where it gave the example of doing so, but he would not hear it. He refused my reference and told me never to do it again. He would not hear me anymore. That was what precipitated my leaving the pioneer service.

Hello!
#4 fit me the best.
If we caused a commotion, we were sure to get grilled as to why we were late, and we did not want to go through that after the meeting.
If one was lucky though, they would come in late at the same time as a big family did, because all the kids finding seats would be very distracting to the brothers, so it gave you time to find a seat unnoticed!
I always secretly liked coming in late, cause then you missed some of the boring material presented!

You all have good replies!
Sunspot,
yes, when it boils down to it, you summed it up well!
I too felt that jehovah was watching me at all times, even when i filled out my time slip.

Wannaexit,
You name is appropriate then with your actions! It is nice you can find things that keep you laughing while having to be in the jw.
DaCheech,
I like your 40% of time spent in "service", lol! Do you do the 10 percent just so that the congregation at least thinks you legitimately go in service?
