this morning as i got up, it was 0 f outside.
this morning at 9 o'clock as usual the same witnesses will go door to door at this temperature.
i already saw them going door to door at -25 f. i wonder what it would take for them to say it is too cold or too hot to go out in the field service?
In my place like Prisca(since we are neigbours) we don't have extremely cold weather. But we have a very hot summer.
Specially when we were going to long distance village's to preach and we had to walk for 2 hours under the hot sun. But since we are close to the sea it was like knocking into empty houses, because most of the people were going to the beach.
And I was thinking what nice it would have been if was in the beach with family instead of knocking empty houses.
It was a very shocking story
Most of the JW are violent people due to the WTS teaachings. I remember when I was a kid 8 years old been beaten from my dad at the kindomn hall because I wasn't seating very quiet. And my friends at my age they were also getting beaten too. Actually JW parent's use the kindomn hall as a place for discipline against their children.
Unfortunately when I grow up I used the same technics for my child. I only thank God that I'm no longer part of this abuse cult. And my new child will grow in freedomn in Christ. I have become a better man now showing love and kindness to everyone. I love my children and I'm glad that Jesus has show me He's love.
I only pray for those victims that God will give them peace on mind, and if we all fight we can bring down the Tower.
That was a very shocking story
Unfortunately WTS has created monsters. Many of the male Witnesses are violent, and this comes from the WT society's dogma. I remember many times that I was beaten by my father in the Kindomn Hall, because I wasn't sitting quite in my seat. How can an 8 year kid seat for 2 hours in teh boring meetings of the WTS. And when I grew up I noticed that most witness parents they were beating their children in the kindom hall.
I used to be the same like the other witnesses when I grow and have my own children. That was before I proceed to leave from the Org. My life has changed and my behaviour towards my children and the other people.
I have started to have peace on mind specially when you know that a loving God will not kill 6 billion humans and keep alive only the witnesses.
We pray that God will give peace to the vistims of the WTS and the countown of the WTS has begin
God bless you

this morning on the way to work, i burst into song.
not just any song ... but the heretofore forbidden "star spangled banner".
i just felt like singing and i wanted to sing something challenging and it seemed like the perfect choice.
I bought my self a couple of expensive Avana cigars and sad down and smoke them...
I feld like Judge Rutherford
while i'm not a regular as much as i used to be (maybe get to the hall 10 times a year), i always give praise and thanks to jehovah and his son jesus as requested in the bible on the appropriate day.
i have never missed a memorial.
whether or not i agree with everything the gb or watchtower puts out or says, is irrelevant.
It is obvious that JW are becoming worsed than the worldly ones. Because they are empty people they need to fill this emptyness and they do it with material things.
I remember when I was going to the meetings and I used get one Bible Study with me(pour person and political refugee from Eastern Europe) an elder said to him dont worry M.... soon all of your problems will end. Armageddon is coming. (That was back in 1993) So M.... turns to the elder and tells him: Since the end is so near how come and you drive a brand new SAAB a very expensive luxury car. Why didn't you use this money to help the poor? The elder said nothing.
But the point is there is no reason since you leave JW or you are an innactive one to attend to the Memorial. Watchtower as usual goes against the Bible by forbitting the comunion with Christ, except the 144.000( which again it is a sumbolic number and not an actual number). While Jesus said in John 6:44-60 that "there is no life in you if you don't eat my flesh and drink my blood" WTS still ignores this scripture.
So by attending to the Watchtower's "Memorial" you are going against Christ and He's words.
I would say that field service hours means nothing. From my experience and specially pioneers use nice technics to raise up the hours. I remember a pioneer who used to take one book study out for dinner, or to attend to the wedding of a Borg and then to the reception, and like that he could add 4-5 hours in the "quality" field service. Reporting hours it is bullshit, and the Borgs know it. Even if we estimate the hours that you need for traveling for one place to another, also the 15 minute coffee brakes that they count them as preaching work, actually a very small part of this hours represents the real preaching time.
But again what is the problem for the Org to lie about their preaching activity since they lie almost in eveything they say?
.
does anyone know of any information comparing the growth rate of jehovah's witnesses to say the mormons or other "recruit-oriented" religons?
It seems that time is running out for the Watchtower. The only increase they have is the 3 world countries and latin countries. Pour people with no knowledge of how cults are working, and no information for the internet. 2 weeks ago in the study of the WT Magazine it was again that internet, how danger it is and how witness should be aware of it!!!
It seems that the Old Men in Brooklyn start to feel their ground that are standing upon it shaky. Their just banch of loosers and FALSE PROPHETS that have failed in everything. Instead of regreding for their sin's they just continue that fairy tail, that Jesus choosen their religion...
At the last assembley in my country the attedance number was down. When I talk to some Witnesses they were feeling tired and even not trusting their leaders. Some they even claim that because of the Watchtower policy not to seek higher education they have problems to find a good job so that they can get enough money to raise their families. In fact one said Watchtower has F...ked us with this policy and know we find very hard without any diploma to get a discent job!!!
This is what witnesses started to think about their leaders. Can you imagine what is the future for the WT 20 years for now. With no increase and numbers dicreasing in the Western World were the WT gets most of the contributions to support their system?
as a youngster raised in the "truth", i had my questions.
but anytime you ask a question that is unanswerable, you are told to just wait on jehovah.
as time passes, i believe that we store up a number of unanswerable questions that forces one to eventually think about everything.
The fist thing was the subliminal pictures (demonic faces) in the Watchtower publications basically the Live for Ever book.
I was shocked with the picture showing Christ having a demon in he's head, and king Saoul when he went to get council from dead Samuel. Just by looking that picture I was getting upset.
I remember when we were with some other young brothers (back in 1991) and we were talking about this matter. It was a shocking experience. After few days the elders found out that we had this discussion, and they called us.
One elder he was like possesed. He was shouting on us and he was trembling. He said that the puplications of the watchtower are okey, and these are the slandering words of the apostates, trying to hurt the organization.
I didnt like hes behavior and still I was looking for an answer...Well internet came into our lives, and many answers I got from "apostates" :) The fact that not only Live for Ever but almost most of the publications have subliminals, has confirmed to me what i was afraid...that this is not the 'truth"
Even I can still look out in the Watchtower magazine and I trace subliminal pictures. I like doing this in the study...
there were several different careers that the wts did not aprove of.
such as a being a cop, for having a gun.
couldn't be a martial arts instructor.. maybe it was a well paying career.. did you have a job that was not approved of?
The reason that the wachtower does not want any witnesses to have good payed jobs it is because they need their followers to be in the same level and status, so they can control them easily. They don't like to have different social status in their organization, and that is why most of the witness are not educated.(they only finish High School, and have jobs like cleaners)
I remember when I had to appear in the National TV station of my country with one song of mine, Ielders visitng me telling me to quit music and that I must stop seeking my own fame.(although I don't like fame and been a star, I like to perform my music because with music I believe I give something to people.
I was stupid enough to believe them 10 years ago, and I gave up my music. It is something that I will never overcome...
