My wife was discouraged when they announced the Memorial date for the next three years. She said, "Well, I guess Armageddon is coming in the next three years." I am sure that she was not the only JDubby to think that.

Why are they announcing 2019 conventions so early?
by Richard_I ini was just told there will be international conventions in canada in 2019. .
so i looked at jw.org and i see that there's a whole bunch of conventions now listed on the site for 2019.. isn't this odd?
normally we were told the location of conventions during the first week of january.. did they realize there was less in attendance in the 2018 conventions, and want to give ppl more time to make travel arrangements??

The JDubs sure love to talk about sex and you don't have to be skin to skin to be pornia. I guess it is just a hell of a lot safer to be around pillows for some good old dry humping. Why does the Borg always talk about surfing the net late at night? I think that porn is available 24/7. It is really sad when the circus overseers have to be told to be warm and don't forget to thank them elders for being elders. What a lame religion to need instructions on what to feel, what to say, what to do, and when to do it. The internet is full of lies except for Jehovah's website.

My wife's Kingdumb Haul announced that next Saturday is a special day of service. We can pioneer for a day in seldom worked territory. Everone is to pack a nice brown bag lunch. They will go in service in the morning then they will all meet at the rest stop with picnic tables and have their lunch and share all of the exciting morning experiences and then go back out in service in the afternoon.
Sound like a lot of fun.

Cart work faces headwinds.
by lastmanstanding inmy little bethel bird has whispered in my ear some encouraging news.
it has been reported to the canadian branch that some witnesses doing cart work had police stop them from carting in public parks.
the direction sent to the southern ontario congregations is to cease carting until further notice.. this is no joke.. have a jw-free day..

The JDubs need special training to be a cart guard. Here is the outline: How to sip your coffee without making eye contact with people walking by. How to sit in a chair and properly cross your legs. How to hide your phone so that people can't see that you are on Facebook. When to start and stop counting your time. (You must touch the cart on the upper left side to clock in and touch it on the lower right side to clock out.) If more than 4 JDubs are standing by a cart the total hours must be multiplied by three and divided by four so that the hours spent in this life-saving work are not exaggerated. Do not overtalk to anyone with a question...you must point them to our website. This is the most important work being done on the face of the earth so only talk to someone if they approach you. Do not initiate any discussions...let God's holy spirit direct them to you to prove that they are one of God's sheep.

How the Borg could increase meeting attendance numbers
by Sour Grapes ini think that the 8 popes should allow the jdubs to count time driving to the meetings or even count their time being at the meetings.
those who just listen over the phone can't count their time.. it would be a much better religious cult if the 8 self-licking ice cream popes would let their followers count their time for helping the elderly in the kingdumb haul with stopping by to have coffee, shopping, cleaning, cutting grass, etc.
let them count time by visiting the friends in nursing homes, maybe even allow double the hours for the nursing home visits.. this probably ain't going to happen because the cart work is easier..

Congregation Reassignments in Ohio?
by My Name is of No Consequence infrom what i understand, a letter was read this past week in regards to congregation reassignments and that the elders want to meet with people at their homes to tell them where they have been reassigned.
obviously, this would be due to the merging and dissolution of congregations.
can anyone confirm this?.

My experience with a JDub pedophile
by Sour Grapes inback in the early 1970's i was an elder and sat on a judicial committee that dealt with a male teenager in the congregation.
he was inappropriately touching his sister.
it was of course viewed as a sin, not a crime.

Back in the early 1970's I was an elder and sat on a judicial committee that dealt with a male teenager in the congregation. He was inappropriately touching his sister. It was of course viewed as a sin, not a crime. The council was given, and it was all kept hush-hush so as to to bring reproach on Jehovahs' glorious organization.
This brother moved to another congregation, and in about 4 years got married to a sister and they had a couple of children. One day the wife comes home from shopping and caught her husband abusing their young daughter, She immediately called the police, he was arrested and spent time in prison. She did not even wait for the elders to.have their kangaroo coverup meeting.
Would this sister have married this brother if it was publicly known he was a pedophile? I was on the committee; and even though I was only 21, I have carried that guilt for almost 50 years.
I also sat on committees in the early 1970's where I disfellowshipped four different brothers and sisters because they could not give up the habit of smoking. All four were shunned by their families and the families were broken all because of the Borg's holy righteous position on smoking. This too I have carried with me for decades.
During the late 1950's and early 1960's there was a 10 minute intermission between the public talk and the Watchtower study to give the public time to leave if they did not want to stay and it also gave the public and the brothers the chance to go outside the Kingdumb Haul to lite up a cigarette before the meeting started back up. The Borg tired of this and gave a 6-month countdown to stop smoking or get disfellowshipped.
The Watchtower Company is one fucked up religion.

Apostate - what does the word mean to you?
by Tallon inover a period of time i got to thinking - what does the word 'apostate' mean to me.
having given it some thought, this is my view;.
the org has given the word its own definition and basically use it to demonise people and consider them pariahs.. however, the jw meaning of 'apostate' is a mere word and only has power if recognised as such.

I guess to me the word apostate, due to my wasting 50 years in the Borg, means someone who rebels against the "Truth" and actively tries to turn a JDub into an apostate.
