what are the rewards for not being a witness any longer
by Curtains in
1. jw
2. friends
if the carrot and stick aspect of being jehovahs witnesses upset you how do you reclaim your desire for reward?

i'm assumng that you all agree with me that feeling rewarded is a basic human desire.

how much effort do you think we should put into trying to make our lives rewarding?

Question for elders and ex elders and anyone else who might know
by ldrnomo in
1. jw
2. experiences
an older man on the elder body i was on, once said at an elders meeting, just prior to a co visit:.

"brothers we want to be careful not to bring up any dirty laundry with bro...co when he comes to visit" i didn't say anything at the time because i was duly doing my duty as a non thinking jw or at least non speaking and i also knew i was outnumbered.. even though i put this in quotes, i really don't remember exactly what he said but the general idea is there.. so the question is, has anyone else had a similar experience?.

perhaps some may have some thoughts on the many shows that go on in a kingdom hall..

What is the WT's Motivation? Who Benefits?
by InterestedOne in
1. jw
2. friends
another thing my jw friend says to me when i question the wt is, "what would their motivation be?

they're so humble and no-one gets paid except a basic living allowance for the workers at bethel.

they're not like those other rotten 'ministries' whose leaders get paid a lot of money, etc.".
