  What does an MS do?

  right... so i've hung around on jwn for a while now, but i simply can't figure out where an ministerial servant stands in the hierarchy scheme of the wts.. there's the r&f or rank & file.. then there seems to be the microphone handlers, sound checkers, donation bin watchers, index card for territory managers, person who is in charge of the books, etc.. then there are elders.

  circuit overseers.

  bethelites.

  Did you Exit the Witnesses Gradually - Or Exit Suddenly - Your Reasons ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i thought it would be good to discuss it to understand what caused some of us to exit suddenly, or some to exit gradually .. myself , i had been in 44 years , had mentally had doubts for years before exiting - but injustices by the elders and my doubts about the " generation " doctrine led me to exit suddenly one night before a meeting.

  the elders pissed me off , i went to my seat, picked my books up and walked out - never going back.

  so what is your story and reasons ?

  i did it 20 years ago, but the elders still remember what i did, sometimes i wish they never knew about it.

  fruit of the loom

  by John Doe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember as a child, before i knew what a "loom" was, i thought it must have been a groin, and therefore the fruit of the loom was dangly bits.

  after all, that's what fruit of the looms protects, right?

  what misconceptions did you have as a child?.

  OUTLAW is My Hero

  talk about a man who always gives it to you straight, and with a sense of humor, too.

  never too gruff, but just gruff enough to ruffle some feathers and have a laugh with others as long as they don't take themselves too seriously.

  the source of sage advice that's just too simple to be complete bullshit, he is actually more balanced than most.. he's the kind of guy you miss not knowing in real life.. .

  Huge development concerning Watchtower.org and "apostate" comments.

  by DT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  wouldn't you love to comment on the watchtower.org site so that other visitors can see what you think about their doctrinal flip flops, false prophecies and dangerous medical practices?.

  it's no surprise that watchtower.org doesn't allow comments.

  they know that "apostates" would point out the embarrassing details about their religion and history.
