  Field Service Requirements

  by DATA-DOG in

  has there ever been any official letters stating the amount of field service required to be considered exemplary?

  usually the number given is 10hrs, but if you look up " 10 hours " in the cd-library you get 14 hits.

  none from the bible of course, and only 3-5 are related to field service.

  I always heard as a kid that 10 hours was the national average...but as far as being in print, I do not know.

  Wildelover,

  The WT is known for quoting sources that, when examined,have absolutely nothing to do with their baseless assertion.

  It was a 9/1/80 letter to all CO's and DO's...it said:

  "Keep in mind that to be disfellowshipped, an apostate does not ahve to be a promoter of apostate views. As mentioned in paragraph two, page 17 of the August 1, 1980, Watchtower, "The word 'apostasy' comes from a Greek term that means 'a standing away from,' 'a falling away, defection,' 'rebellion, abandonment. Therefore, if a baptized Christian abandons the teachings of Jehovah, as presented by the faithful and discreet slave, and persists in believing other doctrine despite Scriptural reproof, then he is apostatizing. Extended kindly efforts should be put forth to readjust his thinking. However, if after such extended efforts have been put forth to readjust his thinking, he continues to believe his apostate ideas and rejects what he has been provided through the slave class, then appropriate judicial action should be taken.

  That was a letter to the elders, not a WT article. Do you want someone to post it here?

  Theo, its not that big a deal...but why? What are you accomplishing making someone waste their breathe on something you already know?? By the way, I had been very sporadic on JWN for the past year or more- was going through a lot of personal problems.

  Spike Tassel and Renia, those were the days. Wonder what ever became of them, or have they come back under different names too?

  Theo, nice to 'joust'...but why not just be you? You are here for some reason. I kind of remember Misery Loves Elders.
