  From yesterday WT, don't have kids and if you do then don't see them often nor the grandkids either

  by purrpurr in

  unbelievable paragraph in yesterday's watchtower was "encouraging" the sheep to not have kids.

  most of their growth comes from the born ins and they are still on about not having kids?.

  then it went on to "encourage" those that do have kids or grandkids not to spend to much time with them and instead to spend their time serving kingdom interests!.

  anyone else notice this on the last video of the regional convention 2016?.

  frame stills:.

  conclusion: it seems that the paradise will not be only the end of wickedness but also the end of the jws typical cheap polyester suits :-p.

  It looks like one of those sci fi movies where the cult leader sacrifices a Virgin at the end.

  Witness Carts - A Vehicle for Significant Decline

  by slimboyfat in

  i was stalking to a jw today about her recent experience on the carts and with being a jw generally.

  until this conversation i considered the carts as just an ineffective preaching method and a harmless waste of time.

  but now i wonder if the effect of the carts might be to produce noticeable decline in jw numbers.

  Like Freddo said. Cart witnessing creates class distinctions among the Jws. Metropolitan witnessing is for kingdom evangelizer grads, cart witnessing is for pioneers and well spoken of publishers. Door to door is reserved for slackers and undercover apostates.

  When they call me at home, I don't answer (this is one reason I continue to have a land line). Of course, I am rarely home during my off time anyways so that's kind of a no-brainer. I was up front with my last manager and former team lead. I told them straight... if you want me off hours, you pay me to carry a pager, otherwise, I'm unavailable and you will not get me.

  
  

  Good strategy. If they have you on call they should give you some kind of remuneration.

  @heaven

  companies that require unpaid overtime from their employees are just thieves. Sucking up the lives of their employees.

  What I do is sometimes intense and requires lots of ot in our busy season but I am paid for it. I am on an hourly wage not a salary. It is regular pay for 40 hours per week and 1 1/2 times regular pay for anything above that.

  I see this as being a good year for the Jws (other than in Russia) The regional convention bunker videos combined with persecution in Russia will scare the sheeples into compliance.

  I guess I'm not the only one putting in big hours. I did 350 hours in the month of April. A little too much IMO. My main employee refuses to work more than 50 hrs per week. I respect him for that. He is not a jw. I ended up picking up the slack to get the work done.

  My Pseudo-Education Hasn't Hurt Me None, I Can Still Read the Writing on King Belshazzar's Wall~Part I

  my maternal grandfather, adolph joseph deman, was in his mother's womb as the family crossed the ocean from east flander, belgium.

  he was the first to be born in the u.s. in 1885. his father's death in 1888 contributed to his departure from school and work as a lad in the iron mines of republic, michigan.

  the house he later built on a homestead in maple valley, washington, near kent, was a substantial pillar in my unstable early life as a precocious jw child in a dysfunctional home.
