Cost of regular pioneering?

by hoser in

jw
friends

i was wondering if anybody had any figure$ on what it costs for a couple to regular pioneer if you would include the vehicle expense and the value of their time?.

finallysomepride

I never did pioneer, never was a consideration, zero of my siblings pioneered either & 1 is an elder.

Hell they were lucky to get 2 hours per month out of me at the best of times, or I should say the best of times they got zero hours out of me.

Soooo it never was at a cost to me.

Just my 1/2 cents worth

"Dubs" ??

by leec in

jw
friends

would someone please explain to me the etymology of the term "dub" as used in this forum?

i've searched here and elsewhere online (albeit not exhaustively) and cannot find anything enlightening.

(by the way, if it's something really obvious, i am infamous among those who know me for missing the obvious at times, so this is not a joke or anything other than a straightforward question.

finallysomepride

I remember dub's being used over 30 years ago as a short name for JWs (New Zealand)

boy i gotta say, i just can't make up my damned mind.

everytime i'm starting to feel better about the jw's, a brother or sister or the watchtower will say something just totally wacky.

did anyone get that bit in the watchtower last week about no questions allowed what so ever!!

WTF

Don't you plp know that you can't sit on the fence, if you are on the fence you are out of the jws, you have been told so many fu.k.ng times for chr.s.'s sake.

I told my husband that I'm going to throw away my no blood card

i discussed my view with him and he understood the point i made but said that until he receives further instruction from the gb he will still refuse a transfusion.

i asked him if he would deny me a blood transfusion if i needed one and he said, "i don't know.

i went to lunch with my non-jw aunt and cousin and told them about the conversation.

Good one, mine was cut up and burnt years ago, felt really good.

if you want to challenge your deepest notions about human reality, read "the dancing plague" by john waller.. during the middle ages, there are very detailed records of a strange mass mania that erupted amidst the horror of everyday life, back then.

people would start dancing until they passed out or died.

apparently, this also happened in madacascar once.

I don't see where it's funny!
