Do the GB go out in field circus? If yes, is it the way all the R&F go (knocking on doors) or do they have more important things to do?

did your wife run off and get pregnant?
by oompa inor is it just me?...ya...it was wicked hard to deal with and i will never be the same...we had two cute kids at the time, very young, and she was out knocking on doors with a 35 hour a month average....i was never spiritual enough and hated service....and felt there were too many meetings......she truly just disappeared one day...no note...i found her thousands of miles away, not even in the us....ya how is that for weird?.....can anybody top that?....i lost 20 pounds the first month and was already skinny.....i still care for her greatly, and know she was truly mentally ill at the time......cause you would have to be crazy to leave a guy like me!!!
!.....lol.....that line has gotten me through a lot of tough times....she really was ill and on tons of meds.......oompa....this one should be on oprah.
again.....can anybody top that?....step up to the plate....i could not find anyone to help me with that, as nobody had had that happen to them.

When I was in 3rd grade my mom found a Culture Club record hidden under my dresser. She showed my dad and they made be break it and throw it into the garbage. Kinda funny now when I think about it. CC is about as tame as you can get. I think it was the picture of Boy George on the cover that freaked them out.

Aug 15th WT - Pg7 par3 - it's right there in plain sight
by passwordprotected inparagraph 3 of this typically un-self-effacing article is incredible for 2 reasons, 2 reasons jws are unlikely to be awake to and will more than likely be blind to.. .
first of all the wts very grandly state that "jehovah and "the faithful and discreet slave" deeply appreciate all their past and present contributions to the kingdom work.".
firstly, the wts have put their organisation in the self-assigned role as the "faithful and discreet slave", which we'll come to in a second.

This also goes to prove that as a JW, you are following a group of men instead of God. If you had received an organ transplant back in the day when it was taboo, you would have been df'd. But when they decided it was now OK to get transplants, you think that you would be reinstated, right? WRONG! You are still df'd because you were not obedient to the organization of men regardless if they were wrong or right.

Making the load "lighter"
by Lady Lee inin 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
