is it an actual form that you fill out and submit to the main office?

do you break down the hours and what you did?

did anyone find it fun or help encourage them to do more, or was more time just spent getting creative with it?

Oh man, people actually do this stuff?

I'm am so sorry. I didn't know it was actually that bad. When my JW friend mentioned a time card, I really thought she was joking. She never showed me any of the "behind the scene books or literature" just a lot of those "regular WT magazines"

TIME SHEETS FOR JESUS !!!!

Oh man, oh man, oh man, I'm getting light headed just thinking about it.

I don't mean to laugh, but I am, I can't help it, it's too F..kin funny.

Thanks for the link. I am reading more of it tonight.

Page 25 "In case of natural disaster . . . " "Check to see what government aid may be available" Just a little hypocritical, don't you think? "provided by Caesar for the needy" Why doesn't it say to ask the guys in Brooklyn? Don't they have any cash for assistance? What a bunch of hypocrites? PUKE

I just finished reading this manual.

(long pause. . . . . . . . . scratch head)

Thank you for uploading it and making it available for me to read. I understand a little more why and how my friend got so screwed up in this cult.

It must be like heaven on earth for some of the "good old boys" in this club. They even got their own manual, it's written so it must be "the truth" No?

And it seems like they can change the rules anytime they want to suit their own needs. What more can you ask for?

My JW friend told me about this, but I wasn't so willing to believe it.

"The innocent mate should be informed that resuming sexual relations with the adulterous mate would indicate forgiveness and would therefore cancel the Scriptural ground for divorce"

WOW! and this,

"a willingness on the part of the innocent mate to resume sexual relations with the adulterous mate within a reasonable period of time"

Reasonable period of time? Like later that night?

It's not a wonder my friend used to cry after having sex with her mate.

(Contradicts the "stay out of the husband's way" policy)

If it involves "Pornei'a", then we need to get her in a closed door session so we can hear all the good stuff and ask all kinds of inappropriate questions. Then go home, and beat off to what we just heard her say, and leer at the her every time she shows her face at the hall.

Am I missing something?

Page 85

"On personal matters individuals should make their own decisions based on a Bible-trained conscience, but they may ask elders for Scriptural guidance"

Note on side: "Elders should not handle questions asked by wives. They should ask their husbands"

Conversation 1

Wife - "My husband is beating me up, what do I do?"

Elder - "Sorry, you need to ask your husband about that."

Conversation 2

Elder - "Hey, so-and-so (husband), your wife is nagging us with a bunch of questions again. You need to keep her in line"

Husband - "I'll handle it, as soon as I find my belt"

I threw up when I read page 74. The men who agree to destroying records about child molesters should be put in prison.

This gentleman, Timothy Hamm, displays some classic signs of an immature manipulator. His growth and position in the organization has probably been stunted by this character flaw of his. Unless he changes his tactics, his position will probably never get any higher than where he is currently. When you really want something and friendly persuasion doesn't work, and you resort to ugly methods, then the respect of others will usually diminish. Timothy knew you weren't coming back so he starts with the verbal assault, then gives you a combination of guilt and shame. Comments about your family only add injury to insult. Always taking the focus off the true nature of the problem. Pride is Timothy's ultimate downfall, give-a-way, and weakness. He's so blind to his faith and ideas that his ignorant pride will eventually consume him. On another note, subconsciously, he is probably also very jealous of you and your freedom to be the person you want to be and have become.
