We know that the whole objective of the preaching work is to place( sell ) magazines and books. The labor is free from the warehouse to the distribution at the door. They preach today's bad news and topics from the Bible. But, when they finish some printed material is always introduced. If the printing of reading material stopped,what would the preaching sound like? Aren't they really lost without them offering reading material? Do they really know anything besides introductions?

Going to the meetings has been his only passion. But,it saddens me that he will never see the end. The WTS has lied from their beginning and continues to lie today just for the sake of keeping their business going. What a waste of time for my Uncle who could of done something better with his life!

Why are works of the law so important to the WTS?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inpaul states in galatians 2:16,. .
"knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of jesus christ, even we have believed in jesus christ, that we might be justified by the faith of christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
did you ever wonder if you were just an employee of the wts?

Why the so formal attire?
by greendawn inhaving visited various churches i have seen that many of their members are casually dressed while worshipping.
the contrast with the jws is great, why do they always have to be formally dressed in their suits and anyone wishing to dress casually is frowned upon?
it goes to show how pharisaic and controlling the cult is.

I quit attending the "Book Study" about 18 years ago. We had the hottest summer ever where it was 105 degrees that day. We had a "Book Study" at my Uncle's house who didn't turn on his central air conditioner(He was too cheap to turn it on). It must of been around 100 degrees inside with no air to breath. They let us take our suit jackets off but we still had long sleeve shirts and ties on. One sister passed out and she had to be taken outside because it was cooler outside than inside.
That's why I no longer attend.

The WTS want to show that they are different than other religions. They want control over their members. They want neighbors near the KINGDUMB HALLS to see that they look and act different. ( I guess wearing a suit makes you look more honest )
I see people walking into other Church's with sandals,shorts,short dresses,hats,gym shoes and other attire that is not appropriate for church. The WTS always take things too far. Nice slacks,dress shoes,and collared shirts are appropriate. Pants suits for woman are also fine .
About 20 years ago,you didn't need to dress up for the BOOK STUDY. Then the WTS said that the''NEIGHBORS'' near the KINGDUMB HALLS and private homes would notice that the Witnesses weren't dressed properly.(like they really noticed and cared).
The WTS want control in little and big matters so no questions will be asked.

I never enjoyed giving # 2 talks. I never enjoyed being at a podium and speaking. I took Drama in High School just to get over the fear of being in front of people and speaking. There were times I missed school because I had to get in front of the class and do a presentation. I will never get over the fear of public speaking.
Why does the WTS insist that every member sign up for the school? There were members in my congregation that couldn't read after so many years of giving talks. Why didn't they just take them off the school? It was so painful listening to some members who couldn't read. And,I'm sure they didn't like being up there.
And how come some Elder's wives would not sign up for the school but the Elder's insisted on others to sign up?

I refuse to go to Memorial Sevices. The last one I attended was an Elders wife who died of cancer. THEY HAD NO WAKE FOR HER. She was cremated and only the immediate family attended. I went to the Memorial Service out of respect for the family.
I drove over an hour to get to the Kingdom Hall. They had a picture of her by the front entrance.( Why couldn't they put her picture on the stage?) The talk was not about where she was born,what she did for a living,what she enjoyed doing,when she had kids and how she suffered in her last days. The talk was about how she was a pioneer and that we should learn from her. The thing that disgusted me was how the Elder looked out into the audience and started talking about how he sees faces that no longer attend the meetings. He went on and on about how they should all come back to the meetings. Well,after that,I will no longer attend the sales meetings.

They left the March Watchtower and Awake magazines by the door. They will both be at Sunday's meeting. Should I not attend the Sunday meeting or come in late and leave early? What would you do?

Who quit going to the meetings, came back later and now regretting it?
by RULES & REGULATIONS ini regret ever coming back to the meetings.
i was baptized when i was 13 years old due to pressure and being told that anyone not baptized would be destroyed when ''the end'' was coming in 1975. i later quit attending and felt a relief when the end didn't come.
the lies,too many meetings,be pounded to preach more and all their rules and regulations finally convinced me that i didn't belong there.. around the early 80's,i started up again.

We just had a 2 day assembly last weekend and I didn't attend either one. I can't sit there for 8 hours and listen to all the lies they spew from the podium.
My mom called to see why I wasn't there.I told her I had to work all weekend. She told me how wonderful the program was and how we are living in the last days. Only 2 got baptized.
