i came across this little tidbit on the facebook page of a regular pioneer.
true, jdubs aren't supposed to be on facebook, but what she put as her employment was rather interesting.. "employer - jehovah.

Shouldn't she be counseled for doing this? Surely, she is 'overstepping' her role as a Sister TM !
You're quite right, tal. Mind you, this sister isn't an elderly one, or even middle-aged .... she's only in her early twenties. What good advice could she possibly give, and to whom?
10. if i said you had a nice governing body would you hold it against me?.
9. let's overlap our generations if you know what i mean.. 8. what do you say we lose this great crowd?.
7. i want to be your faithful slave.. 6. tonight we're gonna party like it's 1974.. 7. your breasts are like towers.. 6. would you welcome a shepherding call?.
I still need some hours in service ... you up to the task?

mummatron, I purposely skipped over that part ... it would've probably made me gag even more.

Wow! And you claim to teach persons the Bible .... that Christ-like spirit is so overwhelming!
after being here on jwn for a while, one does see a spectrum of sorts.
there are people here in various stages of their exit from their lives as jws.
some are full fledged kh and fs attendees whom we call "the conscious class".
So I ask you faders: how determined are you to never return to life as a JW?
I wouldn't call my existence as a JW "living". I was just going through the motions to make my mom happy, but got to a stage where I couldn't go on like that. I needed to move on. I was never happy as a JW, so I'll never return.
Do you still miss old JW "friends"?
Friends? What friends? My so-called "friends" in the Borg were all hypocrites. I never felt truly accepted, so there's nothing for me to miss really.
Do you miss the company of JW relatives?
No, I do not miss their company and avoid them at all costs. True, I've had some great times with some of them, but that's all in the past. Those fond memories will always be fond, but I'm now in the process of creating new ones.
Do even the smallest of thoughts that maybe, just maybe, the JWs are right about some things, still haunt the darkest corners of you mind?
No, never.
Do you still have the occasional nightmare about dying during the big A?
The Big A was never a nightmare for me, even when I believed it was coming. I actually hadn't even thought about Armageddon until I read this post.
at times i will greet a brother or a sister at the kingdom hall and i will ask them how they are.. they look at me with tired eyes and say, i'm h.e.r.e.this poem is for all of us who are glad that you are h.e.r.e.. .
the kids were cranky, your husband was late.
the dinner you had ready just had to wait.
Boy, am I happy to be ELSEWHERE
i've got a guilty pleasure, i enjoy watching the great white sharks sneak up on seals and ducks and all those teeth ripping flesh.
they are beautiful creatures.
those huge bodies flying through the air with a seal in their mouth smashing back down into the water.
I watch those types of programs regularly, as I find them quite educational. The killings I'm not too keen about, but I accept that as being part of life and death in the animal kingdom.
The most difficult for me to watch was the male lion killing the cubs that weren't his .... never watched that episode again.
it's no good just to go through the motions.
to achieve jehovah's blessings, the brothers and sisters must have the right heart motivation; to conduct their work in joy and love and remind themselves that the load is not burdensome.. but what if the work is boring and burdensome?
what if in the organization and scheduling of "god's organization", the spirit of the law has been lost?.
Debator, is it 'joyous' just because someone says it should be? You're not a mind reader, so I doubt you know what someone else feels. Your answer just sounds like regurgitated retro from the publications.
How many witnesses would honestly admit that they find absolutely no joy in the preaching work. They would never openly speak of how oppressive and burdensome it is to be a JW. Instead, they prefer to put on a brave face for outward appearances, while wishing they were somewhere else doing something more enloyable.
