  ... has gone to a district convention based on one of the invitations in the annual campaign?

  my convention is held about 3 hours from where i live so i doubt it has gotten anybody to go to the convention.

  i'm not even sure what the purpose of it is.

  I thought the opposite was true.....they would drag people inside kicking and screaming if they could.......and they would be kicking and screaming to get out too.

  she was about 13 or 14 when i first started having serious doubts about the wts.

  when i informed her of my doubts a couple years later, she took the information and ran with it.... she never looked back.

  i told her she could be whatever she wanted to be if she only worked hard enough.

  Do Bethelites and Governing body members live longer due to less work/life stress and not having kids?

  some bethelites and governing body members are amazingly well "preserved" for their age.

  so if you had no mortgage, no kids to worry about, didn't have a stressful job with bills to balance....does bethel extend lifespans?.

  Religion and Cults

  by alice.in.wonderland in

  i've heard certain people here refer to jehovah's witnesses as a mind-control cult, high-control cult; theories perpetrated for how long i don't know, but at least since the days of ray franz.

  i had spent nearly forty years as a full time representative, serving at every level of the organizational structure.

  the last fifteen years i had spent at the international headquarters, and the final nine of those as a member of the worldwide governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  Does anyone remebr the "Rooming Work"

  by exwhyzee in

  1. jw

  when a convention was to be held in your city and it was believed there weren't enough hotel rooms available or at least affordable ones, the witnesses living in that city were asked to go out into the territory and ask people if they had a room or rooms someone attending the convention could use.

  you could report your time doing this as part of your ministry.

  i could never bring myself (14 or 15) to do this....it just seemed too weird for a kid to go to a house and ask the householder for a room but many kids in the hall did this.
