I turn in a bullshit report every month, whether I’ve been out or not. They know I make up my time but don’t want to deal with it. It’s our elephant in the room so to speak. Even when I go out not very much gets accomplished. Field service is such a joke these days not like it was in the 70s and 80s

20Refusing to Report time in field ministry
by Whynot inwhat do you think would happen if i verbally refuse to report my time?
it's been several months since i turned in my time and i think the elder got tired of asking me lol.
frankly, i think it's stupid that jws are required to do this.

JWs and daily Bible reading schedule
by AuntBee injws often point to this, to show outsiders they are allowed to read the bible on their own without the publications.
although, as we know, the org still teaches that you will never progress along the road to life without the pubs.
and, i would imagine that what they learn/conclude from their own bible reading, must remain within the confines of current wt teaching, even on the most minute points of doctrine.

I don’t think jws read the bible as much as they say they do.
As soon as I starting reading the bible I lost my faith in the Jehovah’s Witness religion.

Does the younger generation have our work ethic?
by compound complex ingreetings, you hard workers:.
i've had enough of speaking in generalities during my time as a jw evangelizer.
while my own experience will offer up mere anecdotal examples at best, my contemporaries and i have found that kids today lack the earnestness and drive we older folks have had since youth: setting up a lemonade stand; doing yard work without power assist; mopping floors; running errands for a dime; cleaning parking lots, etc.

The most I’ve ever done is 27 hours straight. Totally illegal as far as labour laws go.

I don’t think it is a generation thing. There have always been slackers in the workforce. Those who are productive and those who are there for a free ride. I envy lazy people

Incite Better Handling of Complaints
by The Fall Guy inever feel as if companies or their telephone complaint handlers couldn't care less about your problem?
i don't know if it's just me, but in recent times i seem to have had more than my fair share of companies/tradesmen who acted with contempt.. admittedly, many of them are given a really hard time by extremely irate customers, but each customer should be treated as an individual.. i have found that i receive a more focussed & attentive response when i inform the person on the other end of the line that i am recording the call for my personal reference & security.
from that point on, i generally receive their full attention and achieve a satisfactory outcome for my complaint.

A lot of workers don’t give a shit anymore. I think a lot of it has to do with the corporate culture of the organization they work for. If the leaders of the corporation treat their employees with contempt the employees treat the customers in a similar fashion.

April 2018 Broadcast - normal weird stuff
by Listener inwe hear a story regarding the life of thomas and emma.
she states that "when thomas and i first learnt that i was pregnant, we were both really shocked" she doesn't explain why they were both really shocked but it seems an odd reaction unless they were using the safest contraception invented or hadn't been told about the bird and the bees.two experiences that touched the heart of gb sanderson were as follows -.
in russia a jw was jailed for 6 months, the jailers did everything to try to undermine his faith, which included violence.

It’s always some Russian brother in prison, some African crossing a snake infested river or someone in Malawi that had their house taken from them . Mostly embellished bullshit to further the governing body’s agenda.
So what’s wrong with you that you can’t make it to the mid week meeting after you’ve worked 12 hours? You’re materialistic and greedy. Come to the meetings and give us your money.

Re:Green handshakes & IRS
by carla ini was wondering if co's who get 'green handshakes' ever report their 'income' from these jw benefits?
in the us even gifts beyond a certain amount must be reported.
jw's like to claim how honest they are, do they report all their income?.

In Canada if tax is already paid on the money it is not taxable again.
Green handshakes are not taxable

July 2018 WT points
by The Fall Guy inpage 16, par.
18 carefully follow the latest directions.. do we faithfully follow the latest directions that jehovah has given us?
if so, we will not rely on always doing things the way we have done them in the past.

The best quote is from the article “Who is on Jehovahs side” paragraph 11 warning of bad associations. “Does their speech often include disparaging comments about others?”
That describes a few elders, elders wives and circuit overseers that I’ve known

Time Gained by Leaving JW World
by Farmer Jim1 indoes anyone else wonder at the amount of time a person immediately gains when they leave the jws?.
just today, a sunday, i would have woken up at 7, frantically taken a highlighter pen to my wt to make it look like i had made a deep study of it.
packed my stuff for meeting and ministry, cycled to the kh, joined the pre meeting ministry arrangement, rushed back for the meeting, sat through a sometimes interesting public talk, sometimes mind-numbingly dull one, strained through a wt study to which i usually had more questions than answers.

Over an average lifetime attending assemblies and conventions will cost you more than one year of your time. -
