  in words it is one thing.

  in practice it is quite different.. so in what ways has the wts made the load "lighter"?.

  well the new book study arrangement is the newest one but there have been so many more.

  I don't see though how discontination of the book study makes the load lighter. They still expect you to have a family study that night and to not necessarily limit it to an hour. They are just transfering loads. Although the load will be lighter for the smart ones that can see through the crap. They'll just count it as a free night

  One Saturday morning for the service group, our DO was visiting and it was his habit to have the day text read and then he would ask questions and instead of only calling on people who had their hand raised, he would just pick someone to answer (I didn't know at the time that he did this) . He picked me, I was completely zoned, didn't even know what the text was about and had to ask him to repeat the question and then stammer through the response with some sort of generic JW speak answer

  once - memorial. But I only do it because I know it makes my dad happy. But I am wondering how much longer I can put up this charade . . . even once a year at the kingdom hall is unbearable.

  Things That Irritated You When You Were A JW

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there were some witnesses that loved taking notes for every meeting.

  whatever you would say, the note takers were busy as a bee writing down every word.

  especially if you went out of town to give a talk, certain ones (only sisters) would take their note taking very very seriously.. another thing that used to get to me was when you'd see the same people every assembly on the platform giving a talk or being in a part.

  I wish there was some way to verify those watchtower/yearbook stories to see if they really happened. They all sound like something a grandparent would say that we'd know was about 5% truth and 95% fabrication . . . "I had to walk 10 miles to school uphill both ways in snow up to my armpits" . . . yada yada yada

  by truthseeker in

  2. friends

  i just read the nov 15, wt - what a laugh.. so they admit some leave over their teachings and then they say there's no where else to go.

  what a joke - they are liars.. .

  was it a problem with a teaching?.

  Some may have left God's flock because they did not agree with some Scriptural publishing company's teaching.

  There! I'll agree to that statement
