If this is how they treat their most ''loyal'' servants after giving untold decades of service this proves that people should give nothing at all to the Borg.

Special Pioneer Couple Living at a Kingdom Hall In Miami FL, get the dreaded Letter
by James Jack injust got a phone call from an older sister saying that a couple that got re-assigned from bethel 4 years ago to live at their kh apartment as special pioneers, just received a letter saying "as of january 2016, your special pioneer assignment will be discontinued".. they live in a south miami kh(snapper creek congregation).. this couple had only served in bethel for 15 years before they were sent out into the special pioneer work.
they are now in their mid 50's and the sister said that they have to find part time jobs to support themselves.. the older sister (does not have a pc or internet), says that the couple are just devastated!

This is good, this is good!! Yeah, check-out those expensive suits and jewellery they wear. I caught that too. Not only do they seem to be cash strapped, but they seem to pin it on the rank and file about not donating enough, in a way. -

The Borg will be around for a while, quite a while. As mentioned, the 1995 teachings were swallowed-up with a few Watchtower studies.
The Borg has and will continue to morph into, well, shall we say different understandings in order for the rank and file to ''buy'' what they teach.

I'm still unsure if marrying someone out of the Borg is an automatic disfellowshipping offense. I know the Borg's elders have different understanding of ''brazen conduct'' and what not pertaining to associating with NonJw's. I still believe it's how the local JW gestapo elders perceive the situation and discipline accordingly, whether it's just just a marking or the ultimate punishment in that of disfellowshipping. -

Why JWs record and report time?
by ThinkerBelle inokay, so yes, i'm a born-in, but this point has always baffled me (and i guess i never bothered to research or ask).
what is the purpose of counting time in service?
when was it started and why?

DATA,
It's funny you should mention that in your last paragraph. Did I mention before where how I got my handle?? While I was researching sites like Reachoutrust.org and the Cal Lehman ministries in Towerwatch.com, I always came across links to this site. Further I was sent a link to JWfacts and that's where I had the most epic, unprecedented, surreal surprise ever.
That was such an overwhelming moment when I read about ''Beth Sarim'' so to it that I was so shocked I picked my handle ''Beth Sarim''.LOL

As far as I'm concerned, the JW's have become ever more cultier than ever before just in the last 6 months to year-and-half now. The JW who wants to marry a Catholic will face the henchmen in that of their local elders. They have changed a lot of their ''disciplinary'' words to ''brazen conduct'' broadening the scope of offenses, they are a lot quicker now to disfellowship(excommunication). It's up to the local JW gestapo what punishment they will administer though.
Shunning is now enforced to a stronghold, so any relatives including your immediate family not living under your roof will ostracize you at will. Remember, once you sign your life away by baptism, it's a life long contract. Shunning a JW family member takes precedence in practising loyalty to the cult.

Why do JW's record and report time?
It's simply a control mechanism. The number on a slip of paper at the beginning of a new months gauges one's ''spirituality''. Any record number over the congregation or national average proves a ''brothers'' eligibility for ''priviledges''. Privilidges such as carrying a microphone around or operating the sound system at the back of the hall. Other priviledges like being used to read for the WT or the book study or prayer before the meeting.
Secondly, I want to state that another reason why they record time is another control mechanism. When the ''circuit overseer'' , or CO makes his rounds to the congregations every 6 months or so. He goes through each and every members' preaching records on the Tuesday afternoon before the week's visit. He goes through everyone's records and determines who is shall we say judged as ''weak'', by that I mean ''low hours''. From there it is determined when the elders get together for their meeting with the CO, they discuss who merits one of those dreaded ''shepparding calls'' or those rude drop in visits out of the blue.
