okay, so yes, i'm a born-in, but this point has always baffled me (and i guess i never bothered to research or ask).
what is the purpose of counting time in service?
when was it started and why?
One of the hardest craziness to stop ...'cause then they will know.
High numbers = A list ..... It buys popularity & advancement.

Ohh .. love all you dear people on here, thanks for all the comments.
Hey Magnum..... we were sincerely trying to get our time in ... that was the bottom line!
Yes they walked away like children.

Oh gee you guys ...sorry I gave you the wrong impression, this is not my video!
Not my video but saw it & was astounded at their cowardice.
Look I am (just according to wt)... a woman. and honestly if it were me preaching vigorously on a street trying to save lives ......that "apostate's" approach would not make me run away! Those 3 or 4 men failed to show who they were trusting in & had a chance to help this guy. You can bet they were still counting the time ! Those men were not even friendly or civil when the Apostate approached them.
If they want to just stand there like a sign post........they should put up a sign that says "go away....we aren't talking!"
OK maybe next time I'll tell ya what I really think! haha

She has MONEY, which in jw land is better than spirituality!
So really not much will happen ....might have to say she is sorry and of course she will have to wipe that smile off her face!

I wonder if they left out that scripture from their new silver bible, Exert yourselves vigorously...to get through the narrow door.

has anyone noticed how the phraseology of this letter is so far away from todays jw theology and idioms used?
do you notice what word is missing?
how would any of us be viewed in the congregations if we were to speak or write this way?
He pleaded..."Beg the Lord".
In those days, 1940's, JW's prayed to Jesus!

boy oh boy did i feel paranoid at today's wt.
not only are we to watch our associations outside of the congregation, but also watch our associations 'within' the congregation.
this was emphasised by the wt study conductor.
Flor..."Does anyone remember when 'marking' was done.....it's got to be a quite a few decades ago now."
Do I ever! I had not been attending mtgs for awhile and went back (thinking god would kill me if I didn't ;-( ) and was caught off guard by a 'marking episode' Omg ...... when did 'we' get this cruel! A poor teenaged boy had his name called out and they said not to associate with him! Not worthy!
Still sticks with me today .....that horrible silence in the congregation, the kids ashen face .......gutted.
Was this love? No ...it was "having no NATURAL affection" !
WT's methods break the spirit, stop the growth & often kill the person!

there were always all types of speakers in the org.
myself, growing up a "witness", must have heard all types of talks, and given by all manner of speakers, especially on sundays, when almost every week we would get a "visiting" brother giving the public talk.. sometimes, you would have a "great" speaker, all fluent and animated.
other times we would get a comical speaker, one who would maybe purposelly get a few laughs outta the audience.
All so funny ..........I was just new to the KH, maybe only my second time. Totally green on all their subjects like Dead Sea Scrolls, fragments & KOTEX .....wtf Completely embarrassed! Never heard the word Codex before (in my late teens).
* "the sisters will be inside stripping." ..can't stop laughing with this one!
* "Can you imagine saying to a house holder ' hey today we call this our S.H.I.T day......and give a a big cheesy smile " ,,,ha ha ha I always called it that!
