  a few weeks ago a couple of brothers stopped by my house on a saturday morning.

  these were guys that i've been friends with for years and years.

  there is no animosity towards them.

  Undercover

  My sheparding call is coming in a couple of weeks. The 2 day assembly is coming up and usually an Elder and the Circuit Overseer will pay me a visit. Depending on the mood I'm in,either I will not answer the door,have my wife answer and tell them I'm not home,or let them come in and get their visit over with.

  Last time they showed up when my family and I were eating breakfast. I told them that this wasn't a good time to talk and if they could do me a favor and call next time. Since I have caller I.D.,I screen my calls and do not answer when they call. They got around this now by calling my mom and asking her if she can call me to see if I'm home and when is the best time to come over.

  I finally figured it out that all I am is a return visit and time on their service time slips.

  "COME BE MY WTS FOLLOWER"
  If anyone wants to come after me the WTS, let him disown himself and pick up his torture stake day after day and follow me the WTS. "-LUKE 9:23.

  BLONDIE'S CONCLUDING COMMENTSAnother boring article really designed to get jws to follow the organization.

  Blondie: Last week,this week,and next week,the studies are all about the preaching work and to follow the example of Jesus to preach. Do you think the writers are running out of information or taking a boot and strap to each member because hours are down?

  I don't have any photos. We live on 1/2 acre of land in the midwest. The pear trees are dormant right now but they will bloom in about a month. The white flowers stay on about 2 weeks and are absolutely beautiful. The leaves turn a light red in the fall and brown in the winter. The leaves sometimes hang on into the month of January.

  I have 9 flowering pear trees,1 crabapple,1 honey locust,5 birch's,and 2 large evergreens on my property. The pear trees throw a beautiful spectacle every spring. My wife on the other would chop every tree down if she could.

  Jehovahs Witnesses - Mainstreaming, Like It Or Not

  it used to be that pioneers supported themselves with free literature and magazines and put in 100+ hours a month.

  then 90, then 70.. a publisher had to put in at least an hour a month to be counted.

  now 15 minutes.. they used to hand out a written review and collect it and grade it!

  The dwindling contributions,teens running out the door,lawsuits,less interest in the message,the internet,and "the end" never coming has changed how the WTS do things. The lawyers run the show. Run it like a business. As business declines,spend less on operations. Sell off buildings,buy cheap paper,shrink books,move conventions further to save money,and try to lighten the load a little before all the members leave.
