I was about that age when I started working doors by myself, and got cussed out by an angry householder for the first time.

November Study WT "Train You Child to Love Going Door 2 Door"
by JW_Rogue inbeen catching up on some jw reading and found a gem in the november study wt in the first article, paragraph #11:.
yet, you might look beyond the obvious and ask yourself, does my child enjoy the ministry or only the breaks?
if you discern that the ministry could be more interesting or more rewarding for your children, set goals with them.

Thrown out to the wolves!
by Pandx in(2. after offering prayer without the disfellow-shipped person present, invite him into the room.
) i needed answers to as why the elders would not pray when they talked to me in the room.
3 letters have been sent to get reinstated and all denied and forgotten!

Welcome Pandx!
I thought that the elders were guided by holy spirit but so many things just didn't make sense
You were indoctrinated to believe that the elders received magical, invisible guidance. They don't. It's all mind-control that empowers some and crushes others. It's foundation is a corporation directed by some dudes in Brooklyn who got their positions of authority by kissing all the right a$$es while nibbling crackers and sipping wine once each year. There's no "holy spirit" anywhere in that mess.

Can somebody explain the songs and songbook obsession?
by careful ini've been out a while and have only put in a rare appearance at a memorial or brief visit at a convention/assembly to keep people off my back, so i haven't kept up on the songbook.
but one thing i've noticed that the org.
has been doing that they never did when i was in is all these "supplemental songs" that keep appearing.

It seems to be their latest brainwashing effort. The talks and other meeting material are all recycled over-and-over with rare nulite thrown in. The teachings are nothing to get excited about, so they change the names of the meetings and throw in some new songs. They need to keep the sheeple busy and coming back to the cult website, so these songs provide a distraction while the GB continues their attention on the money-grab. -

Samuel Herd: a woman saying "if she were a man....." is borderline being a homosexual
by Khaleesi innot sure if this was posted before... but apparently for the wt a woman's smaller cranium than a man's shows she was designed to be in submission to the man!!

a woman saying "if she were a man....." is borderline being a homosexual
That all depends on what the "....." is:
- "If I were a man, I'd horsewhip every abuser that I found out about." -- not necessarily a lesbian.
- "If I were a man, I'd have sex with every hot woman I could." -- may be a lesbian, but really needs to clarify that by saying "a smart, rich, hot man".
Whatever the case, trying to make sense out of the crap coming out of his mouth is impossible. It's so totally sexist and devoid of any sense. WT Corp is doomed in the hands of idiots like this guy.

Last night my husband got an email from the elder who was his friend. They want to meet up because sisters, in another congregation saw him out to lunch with a women.... My husband, who isn't a born in, thinks its just ridiculous and with his career has no time to deal with it. Of course I am pissed!
Lovely, the JW gossip mill is running full steam. When I was removed as an elder, I used that mill to expedite my fade and the elders have left me in peace since then. While the accusation against me was little, the fury of the gossip mill against the elders turned on with a passion after I spread my side. Here's a link to that thread:
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/255058/exjw-psychology-103-lets-reconsider-confidentialityWho were these sisters and why didn't they follow the "Scriptural instruction" to clarify these matters with the supposed offender before spreading the story? If they saw him, they could have easily gone up and said hello and the matter could have been cleared up in a minute. Instead, they ran off to start feeding the slander machine that is designed to condemn him as an adulterer. Paul had plenty to say about such busy-body women in the congregation.
Now you have the opportunity to go to everyone in the congregation and ask them if they started or spread this gossip/slander. And you can let them know that you're just not comfortable with the lack of love and scriptural obedience in these local congregations.

A 'Paradise' for mice turned out not to be so
by Petraglyph inin this experiment, mice were given a perfect environment in which to live.
for the mice you would think this was 'paradise'.
but due to their nature it did not take long for this to become a horrible place to live.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z760xny4vm.

Perhaps that explains what's happened with the growth and then implosion of the bethel population.
Bethel was supposed to be a paradise. Most of my housing conditions were very overcrowded. There was plenty of food, sometimes good, often more aptly described as "Bachelor Chow". I certainly had my tail chewed on plenty of times. Glad I escaped from that cage before I curled up and died.

There's an old saying: "A fool and his money are soon parted."

Ever since WT Corp sold off their local Kingdumb Haul, this small congregation has had to meet in the cold, damp, and dark basement of the local Evangelical Church... secretly sneaking in during church services, so that the crazies upstairs don't know about the crazies downstairs.
