Who really supports "the work"?

i've been thinking alot about all the threads here regarding the bethel lay-offs.

i'd imagine that those laid off will have to rely on their families or social safety nets to help them out.. my man is a successful fader, but his family are all super-jw's.

parents pioneering in a foreign land, youngest pioneering where the need is great, oldest sibling is on the fast track to being a co. my man went to university and is in the upper-wage earning tax bracket.

"Old School" Elders
by xelder in
1. jw
2. experiences
in the last few years that i served as an elder, and as i was discovering what the wts really was, the term "old school" would be used and it began to bother me more and more.

it was usually used to praise a person with a mean, unwaivering, dogmatism to an obselete policy.

a couple of times i would ask the person what he meant by the term.

Even though I'm OUT of the JWs - I still feel a lil guilty! (help)
by babygirl30 in
1. jw
2. experiences
out of all the 'friends' i had while in the jws, only a few (4) still have contact with me - 2 of them being very close to me to this day.

one of these girls is about 6yrs older then me, so she has always been my 'big sis' so to speak!

anyhow she and her mom are jws and they live together, but are very 'relaxed' in their stance against me in that when i go out of town (which is on a regular basis) my gf will stay at my place to #1-get my mail, and #2-get a break from being up under her mom everyday!

For those who researched 607...
by AwSnap in
1. jw
2. friends
did you use wt dates as well as things found from a secular perspective?

if a witness was researching the 607 dates strictly from watchtower info, would it still become clear they are wrong?

or does the wtbs *make* the dates add up...?
