"By the way, staring in January 2009, per a recent BOE letter, field service reports are now due to the Society on the 20th of the month, not the 6th. The letter did not say why. "
I agree with stilla, this is big.
Every month for as long as I can remember the S.O. calls my house looking for my report.
I usually don't answer the phone leaving him no choice but to not report me. My wife will turn hers in late.
I accidentally answered the phone a couple months ago and told him to put zero's across the board- silence on the other end of the phone.
This will give them an extra 3 weeks to hound people causing a temporary spike in their numbers.

Cross, Knife and Gun
by moomanchu inmy dad says "if someone shot and killed your wife, would you put the gun on a wall, make a replica of it and .
hang it around your neck?
that's how stupid christendom is with the cross.".

The argument hold weight- until you consider that Christians believe Jesus came to earth to die for our sins.
Therefore the symbol is of a predetermined fate and should be celebrated. -

Meeting for baptized brothers only???
by cinnamon1642 inrecently they made an announcement at our hall that there would be a meeting for all baptized brothers only, no matter how young or old, or whether you are serving or not.

JWs say its impossible for "worldly people" to be happy
by shopaholic ini've had 3 different jws tell me this over the past few weeks.
basically their thinking is non-jws are not happy and when they appear to be its not real, its not a true happiness.
according to them, non-jws use drugs, alcohol and wild sex to make themselves happy.

Kingdom Hall Interiors
by TheMan inso i drove by my old kingdom hall the other day and noticed that it had a for sale sign in front of it.
this came as no surprise to me, as i knew that they recently won approval to build a new kingdom hall in a neighboring town.
(caused a bit of a stir in town - but that's a different story).

I forgot one other fact.
The second hall that has already sold, has one congregation consolidated from two about ten years ago.
The Elders were overwhelmed with their responsibilities.
I guess this is Jehovah's blessing. -

They are selling this hall because they want to justify the existence of the local RBC committee.
None of the local brothers are actually supporting this.- Although the elders are acting like yes-men
The rest of the story is- this is the second hall being sold to build the one new one (the other hall was turned into a pagan church)
It is a good sign when 2 halls close and 1 opens.
This is a fact! -

Jehovah's Witnesses are the most Meterialistic people on the planet!
by Witness 007 inwhen i visited my mum, pioneer family would complain about brother m_____ who just brought 2 new toyota camry's...brother n_____ who keeps changing to bigger houses.
the brothers family are all pioneers and seem fixated on meterial things!
i'm asked every time i fly down.

I will admit to being materialistic.Thats why I work my ass off.
What is hypocritical is the envy and jealousy directed at you by dubs when you achieve a measure of material possessions.
The Elders in my hall almost avoid me. Not that I'm complaining.
Does make you question the whole brotherly love, natural affection claim. -

"Want to get out of going to meetings with her? Make a deal, for every meeting you attend she must attend a church of your choice (hour for hour). Problem solved..."
Unless she calls your bluff. Then it's back to 3 meetings a week for you. ( Plus another church until January)
Now that would be FUNNY!!!!
