  Did you do very early morning field service?

  by truthseeker in

  in my old congregation, there was a group of dubs who started field service at 4am - yes, that's 4 o'clock in the morning.

  i went with them on a few occasions.. to be ready, you'd have to be up at least 3:30am to get washed and dressed and maybe get a bite to eat.. at 4am, our designated driver would show up along with a couple of sleepy eyed jws trying to "get their time in.

  " many times we'd go pick up a jw only to find they forgot about service and overslept.. .

  am currently at the point where smashing plates seems like a very refreshing and appropriate activity.

  I dedicate this song to all of Jehovah's Witnesses who know that the religion is cruel & unloving

  i realise that you are between a rock & a hard place.

  but i strongly urge you to take stock of your situation & leave the watchtower religion behind if you really do disagree with it's policies.. you see, i and many others have been in that place.

  attending meetings, preparing talks & going out in field service while knowing all the time that the religion wasn't right.. the watchtower religion fulfills prophecy when you see how jehovah's witnesses show 'no natural affection' in the following circumstances:.

  a lot of talk has centered around information dispensed at the recent km schools.

  many brothers feel there is a "tightening up" taking place.

  i had a recent experience that you may find interesting.. after the meeting i was working with our cobe on some congregation tasks when out of nowhere he said, "have you looked up any extra information about higher education since the km school?

  i am surprised how many active jws there are on facebook.. has the society ever put anything in print discouraging facebook in particular?

  was facebook named in outlines of convention talks?
