Vacation pioneerig has been going for years. My husband used to do it and was miserable the whole month. He used to do a lot of walking round the territory as we are in a rural area and it takes hours getting from a to b.
So glad that this is not on my plan for the year.

The elders wife is a deluded woman who truly believes she is something special, in reality she is an arrogant, shallow woman who works in a supermarket.
The religion has a diminishing effect on it's worshippers and this can lead to them behaving in a way that is cold and unfeeling to another. The fact that her behaviour unsettled you is quite normal and it gives you an opportunity to plan how you will behave in future should a similar event happen again. By preparing in advance you will feel less caught off guard and more in control and the encounter will have less power to upset you.

I'm not trying to brag, but being an EXJW is awesome!!! Status Update-
by Coffee House Girl inhello jwn!
i don't get to check in here or comment as often as i would like because i have been working so hard at school...but i just have to share my news in hopes that newbees can see that taking the leap to enroll in higher education is worth it-.
i am graduating this spring with a bachelor degree in art history, minor anthropology...many people (including nonjw's have given me flack for choosing a "dead end" career path) but since leaving the watchtower organization's group-think mentality and "leaning on my own understanding" instead... i decided to say fuck everyone else's opinion...i am going to pursue my passion to work in a museum as a curator or archivist-.

Well done that is an awesome achievement. Just shows how important it is to allow our talents to blossom. As a group we have so much potential it is truly good news to see someone achieving such good things.

I did it !!!!
by snare&racket in7 years ago i started on a path i had long ago given up on as impossible.
i met with my elders and told them i could not justify carrying on as a jw.
i went and got my high school qualifications and my higher education diploma (a levels with distinction) in just 12 months.

This is all about control, don't talk to those who have doubts or those in the organisation that aren't totally conditioned. It is fear of discovery that prompts this not fear of contamination.

Sledgehammer subtlety: The insidious reworking of Micah 6:8
by rory-ks inmicah 6:8 might be - or have been - a favourite verse of many.
the verse used to read:.
"he has told you, o earthling man, what is good.

how can cherish loyalty be a better translation of love kindness they are not remotely similar. However this reflects the harsher and harder environment that JWs worship in. This is where obedience and control is more important than love and compassion. So glad to be out.

How often do you see the Witnesses out on the ministry?
by rory-ks ini only ask because i hardly ever see them out on the ministry.
it is a very rare sighting to spot them actively engaged in the house to house ministry.
or out on the street work, in the marketplace, etc.. the other reason i ask is because they are constantly pictured as being on the preaching work.

I live in outlying territory which is worked every 18 months to 2 years so I rarely see them in my road. That being said I have heard of one cart being set up in an adjacent village and have seen one in Fareham once. I haven't seen people out on the door to door work for a long time now nor have I seen the local elder doing his calls on a Saturday morning which was a regular sight as I went out walking the dog.
It is just my impression that they are less active in this area than they have been. But weekend service was always poorly attended here and there is only 1 midweek service arrangement over this side of the territory so it is unsurprising that I see less of them. After all I don't drive round the territory on a Wednesday morning hunting witnesses.
