  Congregation average

  by dothemath in

  a while back at our co visit, he commended the cong.

  because our average hours had gone up.. we went from around 7.3 to about 7.5. i recall the days when anything less than 10 was considered awful.. of course now, they don't even print the hours in the km or anywhere.. i was wondering how these numbers compared to other congregations?.

  I remember too that it used to be the magic number of ten hours per month. Just recently we were commended as a congregation for getting 7 hours a month average

  so when you first found out specific facts about the organisation, how did you feel??.

  the un membership.

  the way 1914 was calculated from pyramid measurements.

  I was born in and blinded for decades. It took the shock of seeing how a judicial committee works in the case of one of my children to fully wake up.

  I had doubts for almost 20 years but I kept pushing them back in my head for some reason.

  How I liken myself now is to a recovering drug addict that now has to start over at 40 years old with close to zero social skills and no network of people to lean on.

  Can an inactive family member hold back a MS appointment?

  by Simon Templar in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a friend asked me if a man can be appointed a ms if he has an inactive (inactive for 15-20 years) baptized adult child living in his home.

  the child lives by the rules and doesn't do anything wrong (jw-wise), as i am told.

  i know the child (adult) and is a good kid as far as i know.

  I was denied being an ms for a couple of years because my wife's hours were "too low". Then we had a change of circuit overseer and I was appointed even though my situation never changed.

  I don't think it really matters what you do. If they like you things can slide. If they don't like you you are never good enough.

  Mrs hoser went to college last year. She did very well and finished too of the class. Her parents were not impressed though. Apparently Jws are not supposed to better themselves financially. It didn't help that she lived in a dorm on campus.

  I couldn't take it anymore, although still in because of my wife, I did this...

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  i dressed up in a hoodie, double layer so that the cameras at the kingdom hall couldn't recognize me.

  i looked in the mirror up and down so i knew that the cameras, at least at the angle that i knew couldn't see my face.

  i took this disassociation letter, stuck it in the envelope, labeled it, "(congregation's name...boe" by hand and sealed it.

  This song is crap. The Jws are trying to modernize by having videos like this but they seriously need to put together a better songwriting team.
