  Is anyone here doing April's 30 hour Auxillary Pioneer Special ?

  by RubaDub in

  i know there are many active jw's here and was just wondering if anyone is going to take advantage of april's special of only 30 hours for the month.. i actually might, just to irk some of the elders that can't figure me out in their minds.. it would involve 2 long days ... that's it.

  even i can go out in fs in the morning with the group and hang out at bus stops and train stations the rest of the day.. i am really tempted.. rub a dub.

  You can fake it. Here's how.

  Ask your field service overseer for your own map because you want to work your lunch hour, after work, whatever. Likely he'll say no but you can probably get a handful of not home sheets or something.

  Tell everyone you will work your lunch hours from your office with tracts. Sit with a tract on your desk or in your car window while you snore and listen to the radio.

  Choose a mid-week session a couple of times when the pioneers are out and do about 2 hours with them and then "go on calls".

  Meet with your group on a Saturday/Sunday and of course you started early didn't you when you worked the mall (hid behind a newspaper on a park bench/ railway station) ?

  Show your ugly mug about 5 times during the month for about an hour a time and make up the rest! Simples as we say in the UK!

  You'll be a MS soon if you're not careful!

  I've no idea who she would find attractive Este - I certainly find her looks attractive but that is not the same as being an attractive person is it?

  Do you notice that in WT illustrations Jesus always seems to be no further than 100 paces from a hairdresser or washing machine! Perfect hair, not covering the ears, white garments. Hahaha!

  CO's putting the screws on elder bodies, and ministerial servants to auxilliary pioneer this April.

  i have such a love/hate, 50/50 relationship with this organization any more, but a letter was read to the elders and ministerial servants that has pushed me to the 30/70 range in favor of hate, if even momentarily.

  most of you if not all are aware of the auxilliary pioneering initiative for this upcoming april.

  it's no secret that i'm not real fond of pioneering as its unscriptural for one thing.

  Here's how to do it. If you can be bothered. It gives "visibility" - it costs a day so the pio-sneers see you - and you can stay an elder and be a hypocrite like I was before I finally had the balls to resign. I'm still a hypocrite because I still go to keep family happy but not as big a one as I used to be because I bother no-one anymore.

  Go out as normal - 3 times a month on a Sat or a Sun. But there are five weekends so count 5 times (if I remember correctly) you normally scrape an hour but as you "go on calls before and after" you count 3hrs a time. So that = 15

  Take one day off and work with the pioneers. One group am and another pm do 3 hours total and count 8 (those coffee stops all mount up don't they?)

  Witness during your lunchbreak - you work 20 days a month and count 30 minutes a day (put a barely visible tract on your desk or on your dashboard while you sleep in your car) = 10

  33 hours - simples!

  "Theocratic warfare" at it's best!

  So what is the overall percentage increase worldwide?

  And don't forget, every year they get more diligent about counting every scrap of "time" - even the most inactive of inactive gets a quarter hour against their name:

  Secretary: (on speakerphone) Hi, Mabel - it's Bill from the kingdom hall - You must have said something about the good news - tradesman? Someone at the shops?

  Shut-in: Well, not (gasp) really, it's (gasp) awful difficult in (gasp) this iron lung. (Wheeze)

  Secretary: Oh yes I forgot about that. Well just a word or two to the nurse surely?

  Shut-in: N(gasp) I ... (gasp) err ....

  Secretary: What was that? 15 minutes?

  Shut-in: (Gurgle) Uhhhh (wheeze)

  Secretary: OK I'll put you down for 15 minutes, Jehovah bless, bye.

  You know it happens!

  JW paid 13-year-old girl to keep quiet about sex abuse

  by behemot in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  a man who sexually abused a 13-year-old girl and took obscene photographs of her has been jailed for three years four months.. liverpool crown court heard that 54-year-old geoffrey massey would pay the teenager after molesting her at his home in an attempt to keep her quiet.. but his crimes eventually came to light after he confessed to his daughter, who told other relatives.. in april, following the revelations, his young victim took an overdose and had to be treated at hospital.. jailing 54-year-old massey, who is a jehovah's witness, judge adrian lyon said i have regard for the totality of the offences and in particular the last count, which dealt with a number of photographs you took of the child, aged 13, on your behalf.. there seems to have been a number of occasions on which you engaged in sexual activity with this child.. when the girl was interviewed by police she initially denied massey had done anything wrong.

  she told officers he had given her the money for cleaning work.. but after officers re-interviewed her after getting more information, she revealed what had been happening, saying she had felt too foolish to admit it.. massey, of twickenham drive, leasowe, admitted sexual activity with a child, two counts of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and one further offence of making indecent photographs.. the pictures were never discovered because he had deleted them from his computer.. lee bonner, defending, said once his client had begun the abuse he was too scared to stop for fear his victim would expose his crimes.. essentially, once he had begun he found it very difficult to stop, not because of any particular sexual satisfaction, but because once it had begun and he had begun to give her money he feared the complainant might tell people when the flow of money stopped.. mr bonner told how massey, who had no previous convictions, had left his family, but had been the subject of a hate campaign in his community.. source: http://www.wirralglobe.co.uk/news/8718393.jehovah_s_witness_paid_13_year_old_girl_to_keep_quiet_about_sex_abuse/.

  The Liverpool Echo describes his defence counsel as calling him a devout Jehovah's Witness and says that he got 3 years and three months. With "good behaviour" he'll be out in about 20 months. Scumbag.
