  The Impact of Less "Appointed Men" & This Site Thank You

  by JWTom in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  with the passing minimus, we all may think about what this site has meant to us personally.

  i lurked here for quite a few years before becoming active as a poster....still i consider what i have done to be very slight compared with others.

  may minimus rest in peace and a big thank you to all that have helped me here over the years.. a new member that is a pimo elder (reservations) posted here about how he could wake people up while remaining a pimo elder.

  Very true with Jws and any other abusive group.

  Pay yourself first

  Asking questions and allowing people to come to their own conclusions is the only way to convince people their thinking is flawed.

  Is the door to door preaching work not the primary focus anymore?

  by pistolpete in

  2. bible

  a few months back, one of my uncles who was an elder, asked the co, why jehovah would allow the door to door preaching work, to come to an abrupt end.

  this was when my uncle was starting to have serious doubts about the organization.. the co told him to be patient, and hang in there, because the governing body was on top of things and in time would explain what is happening regarding the preaching work.. my uncle asked; “what do you mean?”.

  co said; “focus on the wt study articles in the coming months” .

  The tract work. Somebody in bethel ordered the wrong sized paper by mistake and they had to figure out a way to save face.

  The Stupidity Of The Biden Administration Knows No Bounds

  by Simon in

  2. current

  so picture this, you are suddenly withdrawing troops after 2 decades in a country and, well, its all gone to shit.. how do you ensure that your vulnerable citizens and allies can get out when the airport is surrounded and no one can get through?.

  option 1: it's a trick question surely?

  you don't get yourself into this mess in the first place - you withdraw the citizens first, not last, duh!.

  i’m reservations, pimo elder.

  i’m in no position to leave the organisation, maybe some people will see that as weak or whatever, but we have to all go down our own path in life.. i would like to be able to wake people up in my congregation, how do you think best to do this?

  any ideas?.

  If you are in a position to have access to the congregation records shred them before you leave. Tell everyone that had “wrongdoing” in their file that their sins have been forgiven. That would make the next circuit overseers visit interesting.

  i remember you weren’t supposed to picket or be involved in labour unrest.

  is this still the jw policy?.

  A union is a marketing board. The product collectively is labour. I see no difference than belonging to a coop.

  I haven’t heard this from the org for at least 20 some years. Either I am not paying attention at the meetings or they are slowly phasing it out.

  Joe Rutherford seemed like he would be a union buster. Maybe their attitude goes back that far. The watchtower was built on free labour so it makes sense.
