Oh the flood...
Even as a kid I could not figure out how that crazy story could happen...right along being swallowed by a big fish and living to tell about it!
But miracles are miracles and if you have faith in miracles...science doesn't matter.

There should be some interesting conversations if they start asking each other how many hours they did the past month.
Exactly what I was thinking about. Their WHOLE conversation will change, I think.
Years ago I was at a few JW functions and I realized that is all they talk about...where they went in service, where they went for break, did they go to the hall for cleaning etc. As an outsider looking in, I realized I had absolutely nothing in common with them anymore, and nothing to talk about. It helped me move forward.
So now what will they have to talk about? I guess the FS pubs will still share their exciting D2D stories

Thought on “0 hours” reporting
by FFGhost inso everyone knows the “big news” of this past weekend, no more reporting of hours, placements, return visits, etc.
beginning november 1, jws just tick a box indicating whether they “shared in any form of the ministry during the month”.. so there was a brief comment by a redditor that seems like a brief joke “throwaway comment” but after thinking about it….why not?.
the idea is, what is “any form of the ministry”?

I was thinking about this over the last few days. What does that publisher total hours do for anybody? It's not a statistic people talk about or use, I think. Other than at the congregation level a tool for judging "spirituality" of an individual, (rolls eyes), I don't think it means much. Less work for the secretary and service department.

by BoogerMan inthis is going to break the hearts of a lot of uber-jw's!
reddit has now removed the video link of samuel herd telling jw's they will no longer have to report time or placements - just tick a box which says "active.".

There was an interview with a Bethel rep on YouTube for a radio show and it was acknowledged that in most areas, people to not want strangers coming to their doors. It isn’t productive from the JW standpoint and a safety issue for the householder. Different times. Gone are the days just being seen in field service was supposed to be “a witness for Jehober.” Nobody cares about them.
The corporation is run by accountants and lawyers, and their goal is to protect assets. The GB are figure heads to relay the messages of fear and control.
I’ve been talking to my elder brother a bit more due to family issues. I’m wondering if he is going to say anything about this.

Can you even imagine what Pennsylvania is going to cost them! It will be epic.

I can’t help but think it’s really exciting right now, this “new light.” But as the months and years go by how can one not think “what was the point of all those hours over all those decades?”
we always said here either it stays with more control with small numbers or it becomes more mainstream to retain what it has.

The corporation only makes decisions to benefit themselves.
Any idiot can see the the ridiculousness of the cart service where thousands stand around talking to themselves for hours is no life saving “ministry”.
They have to try to stop the hemorrhaging somehow. And with copious lawsuits pending, try to keep the money they have and contributions.
Counting time made the insecure feel good about themselves while alienating those in more complicated circumstances.
