  Can't get work after pioneering

  by ekruks in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation and can advise me?.

  like many here, i was bought up as a jw, with full-time service (bethel, pioneer) the only career option held out in front of me.

  i wanted to take a government loan and go to university, but was forced not to, labelled 'materialistic'.. i became a pioneer / window cleaner - round here, almost all pioneer brothers window clean, unless they are retired or have a rich daddy.

  the lying, the faking and pretending, the hiding, the endless mind-numbing meetings, service, preaching, assemblies, everything!.

  most of the time i can handle it quite well.

  but not today.

  Did you experience classdivision while being JW?

  we all know how jw brag about their strong internal love.

  all are treated equal no matter rank, color, money, status etc.

  is this really true?

  Iran vs Israel and the USA = WW III (Should we be worried?)

  by Me Myself and I in

  this particular bowl of soup has been bubbling for some time now, with various posturing and toing and froing.

  looking at the media and the subsequent comments from israel regarding iran, it looks clear that something is going to happen soon, very soon..... with iran having the ears of both china and russia, israel having the us and of course we (uk) as the states poodle on the other side.

  i wonder if this could be the beginning of the end?.

  How Come I Rarely See People In Field Service, Vs The 1980-1990s Doing House2House?

  by Bubblegum Apotheosis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  field service hours have hit new records each year, but i am seeing less people working the territory.

  where is all the time spent, that people are putting in the field ministry?

  it's been close to ten years, since i have seen people working certain territories.

  New Locks on the Door

  by TOTH in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have to say that when my father in law asked us for a key to our apartment with the idea of "helping" my sick wife i did not like the idea at all.

  my wife was all for it though so against my protests she went ahead and gave him one.

  well with him behaving more and more like a junkie things have finally come to an ugly head.. a little background info.... my wife's dad has been on heavy pain meds for decades now.
