At our hall, the Congregation Servant (Pre elder arrangement) posted a countdown on the "News Board". The Circuit "Servant" told him to take it down....anyway, the Congregation Servant and his wife bought a 27 foot travel trailer around that time and lived in it. They lived in that travel trailer until he died about 30 years later. They "kept it simple".

JWs took off from work in 1975?
by skeeter1 ina friend of mine is an electrician supervisor.
back in 1975, one of his employees was a jw.
the jw was so convinced that 1975 would bring the end of the world, that the jw took off from work (like, the first week in january) and sat on the top of a north carolina mountain waiting for armegheddon.

THE QUOTE THE WBATS DENIES MAKING OF 1975!!!
by ADJUSTMENTS inthe wtbats like to state "we never stated when the end will come" when they blatantly have:.
1969 "if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.
because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years.

The Governing Body never said this. Just some over zealous writers back in Brooklyn. Some of us just didn't know how to read between the lines.

Hello, its good to be back, seriously!
by AllTimeJeff infor the last year or so, the opening lyrics to gloria estefan's "always tomorrow" have been howling at me.. i've been alone inside myself, far too long.
never really wanted it that way, but i let it happen..... .
(btw, the message in that song is great for former jw's, if you want to think about the lyrics that way....).

MY 10 YEAR OLD COMES HOME FROM SPECIAL ASSEMBLY DAY AND SAYS...
by PaintedToeNail in"there was a kid who turned down a college scholarship so he could pioneer.

I personally know a kid that had a full ride scholarship for CHESS. Brilliant. But, he turned it down so he could pursue theocratic goals. He was sent to Ministerial School, (think that's what they call it) and now serves a remote congregation in the US. When he told me this a couple of years ago, it was very hard to listen to.

Why do Jehovah's Witnesses keep track of field service hours?
by Faithful Witness ini understand that they claim to have the responsibility to preach to every corner of the earth, so they can encourage armageddon to come quickly.
(matthew 24:14 "and this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
what rationale do they have, for keeping track of their hours and literature placements?
