  a story from my days as the accounts servant (not verbatim).

  me: hello, [brother] here's your copy of the money slip for this meeting, i just finished the count.. cong.

  secretary: thanks... who counter signed that there?.

  Justitia...I was also accounts "servant" for about 5 years. Worst. Job. Ever. I feel for my wife who was a trooper waiting till everyone left so I could count the funds

  I remember pounding my fists on the dining room table many a night...so I laughed when you said that. Sisters definately should have been allowed to do that, I can't tell you how many times I felt highly unqualified conducting a BS session while sisters who could "bible" me up and down the block were there...and would have done a better job.

  I guess I got off track this was about "maths"

  Sorry your husband dumped his "priviledge" on you.

  What Motivates Jehovah's Witnesses To Stay In The Religion?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i believe it is mostly guilt.

  many witnesses pioneer or "reach out" in the religion because they feel guilty.. they may feel they aren't doing enough.

  they may have secretly "sinned" against rules imposed by the organization.

  Fear of displeasing Jah = death! Not having that fear anymore is an amazing feeling, even though I'm technically 'in' so to speak, my brain is free. I wake up every day not worrying about falling through a giant crack in the earth while chunks of concrete fall on top of me. (gotta love those illustrations)

  Were the JW Judicial Instructional Videos Leaked on Purpose?

  by Wasanelder Once in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am just putting this out there.

  notice how they repeatedly stress that the proceedings are not a trial or legal proceeding?

  is this their way of putting out their position so that they have a legal defense against challenges of those disfellowshipped?

  Why would those douche bags stress something that is plainly obvious...Clearly it's not a legal proceeding as they are not elected / appointed judges or lawyers in a court of law. I swear everyone in this cult takes f%$#@ing crazy pills.

  Was this a serious question? I don't ever recall seeing any kind of church etc with an on-site grave yard. Why in the world would this ever be considered? Maybe I'm wrong...or maybe this is common in your country (if you're outside the U.S.) Just seemed like a weird question. Maybe I need another cup of coffee...

  Minimus, with all due respect to a long time poster / asker of questions / former JW Elder etc...;-) Your question to Lee seems a little rude (imho anyway)

  You said: Lee, exactly what have you accomplished? JWs still won't take blood. No JW that I know of has changed their opinion about blood.

  Isn't that just as dumb as asking Paul Grundy 'what his jwfacts.com site has accomplished? The WTS still exists?'

  How is he supposed to answer that weird question?

  People have obviously said it has helped them...Hasn't he done something good right there?

  That was was of the 1st sites that started to open my eyes.

  Thanks Lee

  prologos to answer your question ea team has a cap...they can only spend so much for top talent. Actually many of the difference makers were NFL cast offs who were low draft picks and / or undrafted free agents.

  Here's what one of the Seahawks scouts said about this 2013-2014 team

  "The Seahawks are not just talented. They are mysteriously talented. They are comprised not only of draft-day afterthoughts who have become quality starters but draft-day afterthoughts who have become stars. It is as confounding as it is rare."

  I think it will make it harder to start a fade now, but to those that have faded out 3 or more years ago, it probably got a little easier for them. Just my humble guess anyway.
