Or,,,you could wear the same pair of underwear without washing them for 5 days. If they don't replace you by then, the person standing next to you will be quitting that assignment.

I don't know where you live, but we have a line up of people that want to do Cart Witnessing. The line up is so long, and after that line there are Mormon's that want to take over that job. Then there's the Salvation Army. You can easily be replaced for that job in Canada.
Move to Canada

COs are like parrots, can’t handle questions of dynamic nature!
by anointed1 inwhen i was a zealous publisher, once i took co for a return visit to learn how he handles difficult questions.
house holder brought the subject of joshua secretly sending two spies to spy out the city of jericho before its planned conquest, and asked: “wasn’t joshua acting in a human way here?
why would joshua need to send spies if he was the commander-in-chief appointed by god the almighty?”.

Some stories in the Bible serve only to provide us other details. For instance, the spy story connects us to the introduction of Rahab the prostitute. Rahab became an ancester to Jesus. Without the spy account we would be missing that key in the Geneology of the Messiah.
I don't know if you have the address of that CO, but just let him know about that will you?

To "A Believer" and other JW's that lurk or participate.
by goingthruthemotions inyou think that coming to this site or other anti-jw sites and showing you support for the org is noble.
knowing how brainwashed you are makes me cringe and disgustes me and i am sure others here on the forum.
becasue your in a cult and can't see it.

If I had lived in Europe during the first and 2nd World Wars, I would have thought that the end was soon to end then.

Vow of Obedience and Poverty? WTF??
by NikL inlistener on here started a cool thread about the april 2017 wt which can be found here.... https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4881380162928640/watchtower-april-2017-overview.
it got me to look at it closer and in the opening study they use terminology i've never heard used before namely, "vow of obedience and poverty".... 19 currently, there are some 67,000 members of the worldwide order of special full-time servants of jehovah’s witnesses.
some perform bethel service, others engage in construction or in circuit work, serve as field instructors or special pioneers or missionaries or as assembly hall or bible school facility servants.

You can't beak your vow of Poverty, but, they can break it by reassigning you to the field?
It's kind of like working for Uncle Sam.

Xmas / New Year - Time to Review Your Finances
by Simon init's that time of the year again, when most people spend too much buying too much crap for people .... it's also a good time to take advantage of the few days off to look at your finances and make sure you're not being "gouged" by the big companies that, well, like to extract as much money from people as possible.. for us, one of the biggest culprits was telecoms.. think about it: years ago you just had to buy a tv and probably paid to have a phone line.
nowadays you have cell phones for everyone in the family and a million and one tv channels (all showing crap or repeats of crap) and extra for movies and pay-per-view.
you can easily be paying hundreds of dollars per month.. it can all add up, quickly.

I used to purchase the old incandesent light bulbs because the newer LED bulbs were 3 times as much. Then I finally caved in, and bought my first LED bulb. I was sold with the fact that it would last 18 years, use only a fraction of energy of the old bulbs, and I didn't compromise on lifestyle.
