wt study edition jan. 2015.
here is the bait:.
as the number of kingdom proclaimers increases and as we near the end of this system of things, there is an urgent need for more facilities.
I wonder if the fella with 17 employees sold the business, kept it with someone else running it, or closed up shop and said to his employees "see ya, gonna go serve Jehober now. Go, be warm and well fed." And how do the commuters pay for their own expenses if they "serve" at walkill full time?
I did 3 weeks at brooklyn and 4 in walkill as a temp. Except for the beauty of upstate NY in October, it was a fu$king waste of time.

is this the reason they call them litter-a-trash carts?.
.
I've only seen one of those trash carts. Drove by a JW couple manning one. Absolutely NO ONE else was even paying them any attention. It was on a dental school campus on the public portion of the sidewalk. They appear so inconsequencial.
On a similar note, while on covering a route at work I was in a medical office building in a low income area. In the lobby on a table were current (October) WT and Asleep rags. Out of morbid curiosity, but in the interest of time, I quickly flipped through these thin excuses for magazines. Were they always written as if writing to children? I tossed them in a trash can, usually I shred them and recycle. No recycle bins in the 'hood, and I didn't want that crap in my car 《《shudder》》

around the 39:00 minute mark the focus shifts to a single sister who cannot find a mate.
at the 42:30 minute mark she states "i cannot believe it crossed my mind...to look on jw dating sites".
guess a new unwritten rule is added to the many oral traditions of these pharisees.
And now the google ads have switched from Forex trading (not sure what topic that came up in), to ads about dating.lol

i've been toying with the idea of just coming out and posting my name and location as an attempt to be available to locals that secretly browse the forum that have known me for up to 25 years.
( "reaching out", so to speak ).
i'm not da'd or df'd, so this most certainly could end in a dramatic confrontation.
"Next"? LOL, ummm they will report back to the COBOE and he will call the CO, the CO will call Service Dept. and/or Legal at WT Corp. If Legal Dept. opinion prevails, the local elders will be told to back off because of the cops. Service Dept. will advise a "Marking Talk" be given as a Local Needs part, and your family will be persona non grata, but no DF. Some will shun, some won't. You want a clean break? DA letter and/or move. Or, do as I did, several well placed implied threats and gossip spread the word... and the locals don't bother ol' eccentric Brother Snakes. LOL

oz branch coordinator terrence o'brien opined a number of times at about 1:00:00 until about 1:15:00 of his testimony, that a dub does not need to da, they can become "inactive.".
i sent our beloved angus stewart my personal experience, as well as observations about official borg teachings.
(he replied in short order.).
I have been "inactive" since 07, but I consider myself no longer a dub. I was recently invited by my last JW friend to his wedding. As it was at a banquet center not a kh, my wife and I went. An elder gave the awful InfoTalk Ceremony. Normally bad, this elder rambled terribly. Another elder, the former PO, now 88, quietly whispered in my ear about coming back and coming by to see me....and bring the Return booklet. That was Aug 2, still waiting. Other than my friend who got married (he was best man at my non-JW wedding), no other JW "friends" contact me. My JW mom still talks to me, but rarely calls.
So no..Snakes ain't DA/DF, but I am as good as dead to them all, push comes to shove.

a friend of mine is staying at a hotel next to one of the big convention sites this weekend.
yesterday she tells me one of the hotels had to be evacuated and the fire brigade called when the fire alarm went off.. it turned out to be a bunch of jw kids having a prank.
she had been speaking to the hotel manager who told her that this happens every year and only when the jw's come to stay!.
Show some pics of the "sisters" at the Scotland event, inquiring mind want to know

threads that are a "hot topic" should have the option of being pinned by a moderator.
those who are interested, can suggest to a moderator that the subject be pinned.
if a "hot topic" is not pinned, it is lost within a few hours.. most will go to page 1 or 2 (not many more pages) to see the latest topics.. is having a subject pinned an option for this database?.
Please DON'T. Currently the "Hot Topic(s) is/are the RC Hearings, so because of increased interest, these rise to the top of the Latest column sort, kind of a "pinned by default" option.
IMO, we don't need another layer of Mod involvement, they have enough to do around the forum.
Just skip to page 3 or 4 or use the home page to look by topic area. JUST a thought.

now we know why the governing body of jehovah's witnesses cancelled all the major regional conventions of jehovah's witnesses for 2015 and are only holding smaller conventions at the jw assembly halls.
"imitate jesus" convention series australia schedule .
interestingly the first round of regional conventions are due this weekend in the jw assembly halls in sydney (new south wales), melbourne (victoria), and brisbane (queensland).
One thing I always looked forward to was meeting and socializing with a wider variety of fellow witnesses at the DCs. IF this becomes a trend, then it will mean an ever shrinking pool for single people to choose JW marriage mates from. And since we were always encouraged to attend ones ASSIGNED convention, what do we think will happen to the last stragglers of younger witnesses left? Yep, they will find SOMEONE, just not a fellow dub.
Good, let the young ones leave in droves. Fu#k WT.
