Do the old boys on the GB actually report their field service hours?
by eyeslice inthis came to mind as my 71 year old wife got up at 6:30 to drive 1.1/4 hours to meet the field ministry group.
we live a long way from the kingdom hall and the traffic is horrendous where we live!.
somehow, i doubt the good old boys do much themselves.

Tori"s experience, if there really is a Tori which I highly doubt, is a lie!
Yes...Mason is right back in field service after every release from the hospital. How many funerals have you been to that had 700 attendees? A teacher gets a visit the next day, after no contact from Jehovah's Witnesses in five years.
“Jehovah Gave Us Exactly What We Needed”
Mason was diagnosed with cancer at age seven, and for the next six years, he courageously fought the disease. Mason had to be hospitalized a number of times during the course of his illness. Yet, those who were in his congregation noticed a pattern. Each time Mason was released from the hospital, he was back in the ministry almost immediately. Mason loved to engage in the ministry for as long as his strength would permit.
When Mason died, more than 700 people attended his memorial service, including many of his schoolmates and teachers. One teacher who visited him shortly before his death said that she wanted her children to have the kind of faith that Mason had. She also said that she had not been contacted by Jehovah’s Witnesses in the five years she had been living in the area. The next day she was contacted at her home by the Witnesses. The teacher agreed to attend a congregation meeting.
Tori, Mason’s mother, says: “Jehovah didn’t miraculously heal Mason, and sometimes that thought prevented me from seeing how Jehovah was making our way successful. But he was. Jehovah gave us exactly what we needed when we needed it.”

STUDY ARTICLE 3
Jehovah Is Helping You to Succeed
HOW JEHOVAH MAKES YOU SUCCESSFUL
13. Does Jehovah intervene in every situation we face? Explain.
13 What conclusion can we draw from the account of Joseph? Does Jehovah intervene in every situation we encounter? Does he maneuver every event in our life, so that all bad things that happen are for a good reason? No, the Bible does not support that view. (Eccl. 8:9; 9:11) However, we do know this: When we face a trial, Jehovah is aware of it and he hears our cries for help. (Ps. 34:15; 55:22; Isa. 59:1) More than that, Jehovah can help us to endure hardships successfully. How?
15-16. What do you learn from Tori’s experience?
15 Often, it is only after we look back on a hardship that we see how Jehovah helped us get through it. A sister named Tori found that to be true. Her son, Mason, battled cancer for six years until he passed away. Understandably, Tori was heartbroken. She says, “I don’t think there could have been a more painful ordeal for me as a mother.” She adds, “I’m sure other parents would agree that seeing your child suffer is worse than experiencing it yourself.”
16 As devastating as that trial was, however, Tori later reflected on the ways in which Jehovah helped her through it. “In hindsight,” she says, “I can see Jehovah’s loving hand throughout my son’s illness. For example, even when Mason was too sick to see visitors, brothers and sisters would drive two hours to the hospital. There was always someone in the waiting room—ready and willing to provide support. Also, our material needs were cared for. Even in the worst of times, we never went without.” Jehovah gave Tori what she needed to endure, and he did the same for Mason.—See the box “ Jehovah Gave Us Exactly What We Needed.”
According to this article, does Jehovah cure Mason's cancer? Does Jehovah help put Mason's cancer into remission?
“I can see Jehovah’s loving hand throughout my son’s illness.''
''Jehovah gave Tori what she needed to endure, and he did the same for Mason.''
Mason's mom, Tori, is happy with Jehovah because brothers and sisters drove two hours to the hospital and supported the family by being in the waiting room.
Exactly, Tori! ''Jehovah gave you exactly what you needed.''
Jehovah ( a powerful God that created everything in existence) is useless when humans encounter horrible events in their lives. All the best Jehovah can do is be aware of every situation and hears our cries for help.

Two years ago I started a thread :
Watchtower's Art Department strange and hidden images
I boxed the strange artwork. Do those sleeves look normal in yellow boxes a&b? Look at box c & d. Don't they look like claws? What the hell is in yellow box labeled d? I'm not an artist, but don't tell me those sleeves are not strange? Subliminal?

Why do Jehovah's Witnesses attend so many meeting?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inronald curzan ( helper to the teaching committee ) gives a talk on the real reasons jehovah's witnesses should attend meetings.
it looks like the zoom meetings have softened up many witnesses.
many are probably turning off their cameras and zoning out.

Ronald Curzan ( helper to the Teaching Committee ) gives a talk on the real reasons Jehovah's Witnesses should attend meetings. It looks like the Zoom meetings have softened up many Witnesses. Many are PROBABLY turning off their cameras and zoning out. Field Service has come to a stall from the pandemic.
The real reasons the Watchtower Society want Jehovah's Witnesses members attend so many meetings, assemblies and conventions:
Recruit others
Control Bible information
Mold your behavior
Teach you to obey the ''ORGANIZATION''
Remind you that you're never doing enough
Witness your compliance at weekly meetings

Welcome back! Does it surprise you that since the Watchtower Society claim that ''they are no part of the world,'' ( refuse to vote, sign up for military service, salute the flag ) now want monies that come from a government?
Since you were a former elder, did you see any financial dishonesty from the Watchtower Society?
