  WT books thrown into the dumpster...

  by NVR2L8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for the last few weeks i have been pretty busy as we were moving to a new house.

  my wife did most of the packing but when it came to the move, i realized that there are things we own that we had forgotten about because we haven't used them for years!

  on top of the list was old wt publications that no longer contain the "truth" and publications available on the wt cd.

  I have bound volumes dating back to mid 60's and a bunch of other books that need to be trashed. One trip to the recycling dumpster should do it I hope. But my wife still likes having a WT$ library.

  Is the Society doing an extra "push" for Field Service this year?

  by donny in

  maybe it is just the area i am in, but i have run into more jw's in field service this year than the last 7 or 8 combined.

  i have had three visits to my house, one for the memorial, one for a special talk and one for the convention.

  and yesterday was the 5th time this year i have been approached while out for my daily walk/run and given a tract or magazine.

  I agree, the push is big time this year since just before the the Memorial because Armaggedon is very near now from what I keep hearing.

  Convention without a 'Badge'

  i attended a convention recently but didn't wear a badge i was treated with the utmost suspicion.

  particularly when i arrived during the sessions one day.

  the attendant didn't want me wandering off to find a seat on my own.

  You have to hear this. At this last Saturday's DC assembly, a man walked in during a talk by Guy Pierce, a Bethel representative, and yelled out "go back to where you came from you piece of "S..t". People were just skaking their heads after that. The young man was wearing derss clothes and an older name tag. He got through security and got out in a hurry. Is this Guy Pierce not liked very much and why? I was told he is from the New York Bethel.

  FADERS: How determined are you?

  after being here on jwn for a while, one does see a spectrum of sorts.

  there are people here in various stages of their exit from their lives as jws.

  some are full fledged kh and fs attendees whom we call "the conscious class".

  I agree with the comments here that love and friendship are conditional in Kingdonm Halls.

  I am working on it, but there is one elder hounder that seems to keep track of what I do on a monthly basis. The elders are so much in control of the R&F members.

  I did. What a waste of my years. I knew something was not right about this religion after September/October passed during that year.

  DC Brownie Points: Attend Twice. Ever do that?

  by Open mind in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a recent post i made on watchman duty reminded me of something that a few uber-righteous jws would do.

  work in volunteer service at your own assigned district convention, but since you missed so much of the program, re-attend the whole thing again on another weekend and just "focus on the program".

  i remember one super self-righteous guy talking me into going back to re-attend a saturday once.
