Now that the WT has virtually eliminated field service reporting requirements, do you think JWs will no longer waste time standing next to carts, or is cart work something pioneers will want in order to have easy (though boring) time?

51“You know how I know that they're finished out there? The carts.”
by Athanasius inthe watchtower's many legal problems and the jws' use of carts in their preaching work, reminded me of a scene and dialog from the film patton.. in a scene where patton is viewing a battle site the morning after, he says to an aide about the nazis: “you know how i know that they're finished out there?
in my dreams i saw the carts.
they kept buzzing around in my head and i couldn't figure out why.

Where is everyone? 😆
by MissDaSilva ini had a day off today and needed to get some errands done in my local town.
2 carts have allocated here but i never ever see anyone out, even on very nice days.
70% of the congregation don’t work.

It's hard to remain credible when you proclaim that the Gentile Times ended in 1914 when all the Gentile authorities are still going strong 110 years later.

Nobody else understands
by ElderBerry inif you once were fully pimi and truly believed jw doctrine to the core like i once did, when you come to the reality that it is not the truth at all it can be extremely devastating.. i think only other ex jws could ever understand.
i wasted my entire life i thought the real life was yet to come to wasted the best years knocking on doors.
now i’m so angry.. i can understand why so many top themselves when they realise it was all lies..

Please don't let the rest of your life be ruined by the first part of your life.
Search for truth now (not "the truth") and move forward.

If 1914 gets tossed
by Leathercrop init feels like the change in reporting of hours becomes a fundamentally bigger deal every day.
the weight and importance placed on quantity was enormous, and now it's just gone.
even tho most witnesses really didn't keep "accurate" records so to speak hehehe.... this could very well be a precursor to even bigger doctrinal changes, like 1914. damn, would would happen then?.

I agree with Beth Sarim.
I think they will mention 1914 less and less or at least they'll stop tying it to predictions of the future.

The ''dreaded'' birthday cake
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe watchtower—study edition | september 2023. study article 39. let mildness be your strength.
11 if a workmate asks, for example, why we do not celebrate birthdays, consider: could he be wondering whether we are allowed to have a good time?
or might he feel that our position will dampen the company’s team spirit?

It would be hard to imagine a stronger pagan connection than eating meat that has just been offered in sacrifice on a pagan god’s altar. But in 1 Corinthians 8, Paul says it’s the person with a weak conscience who is troubled by such things. Why is it okay to eat meat I know a pagan offered on his idol’s altar three hours ago but wrong to celebrate birthdays because of something Pharaoh or Herod did more than 3000 years ago?

How Do Jehovah's Witnesses View Education?
by southyukon ini have a question about this article.. https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/jw-education-school/.
higher education can lead to moral and spiritual dangers.
a bible proverb says: "the shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself.

JWs view "worldly education" as evil, opposed to Jehovah, unnecessary (with Armageddon being so close), and vastly inferior to the teachings provided by the WT organization.

Are Jw's God's Organization?
by wantingtruth inhere i will quote a post written by "littleone" on another forum:.
when that original congregation apostasized, it formed the roman catholic church.
was it that the roman catholic church was jehovah's organization?

One thing the WT does very successfully is to get JWs to focus on the question as to which organization is God's true organization.
The mistaken implication is that God has one and only one true organization and that our salvation depends on finding it and serving God as part of it.
In contrast, the New Testament teaches that the key to salvation is Jesus Christ personally.

Did Geoffrey Jackson lie under oath at the ARC?
by Vanderhoven7 ini understand he intimated that the faithful slave was not the only spokesman for jehovah god.
he also intimated that corporal punishment was not advocated by the wts.
we're these lies or deception or did they represent the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?.

I questioned an elder: "If someone asks a Jehovah's Witness if he or she believes the Watchtower organization is God's only channel of communication on earth today, what should they answer?"
He said, "'Yes', because that's what we believe."
I said, "Even if they know it will cause offense?"
He answered, "The truth often offends people but Jehovah's Witnesses must bear witness to the truth."
I then directed him to YouTube to listen to Jackson answer that question and added, "If the members of the Governing Body don't testify to what they really believe when asked a direct question, how can they expect rank and file JWs to do so?"
He said, "I don't know what Brother Jackson said. I haven't seen it."
I said, "If you are really a lover of truth, then look it up on YouTube and hear it from his own mouth."
I planted that seed with him and then left.
