Female presenter on JW Video
by Listener inthere is a video on jw org titled "what happens at a kingdom hall?
" i wouldn't suggest that you watch it as it's pretty sickly, as usual they are praying on emotions in order to encourage people to attend their halls.. the video is presented by a female but does show her face.
it just seems weird that they have allowed a woman to star in this very prominant role.

What if we just sent them a Prophet? Yes, that should work. Does anyone know a English kid who goes by the name of Ezekiel?

Yes, we had it read at our Service Meeting. It will be expensive, and it will not be a vacation. The GB wants you to participate in a campaign of field ministry. They want to blitz certain sections of that land. I know that Russell went to the Jews and had a special campaign to recruit them. But wait, he wasn't part of the FDS....I'm confused.

I think I've finally been disfellowshipped
by Godsendconspirator init wasn't my preferred method of leaving but at least i'm as far as i can be from this cult.
over 2 years ago i've tried to fade out but i guess i did it too drastically.
i live in nyc so the entire territory is walkable and everybody in the congregation live pretty close by.

Whoa...Talesin. That's too scary for me. My sleep paralysis experience involved my willingness to wake up early to deliver those dam newspapers in a paper route I had in Montreal. I sort of transitioned into a Zombie as the route somehow managed to get done.

Well, I watched it, and nothing mentioned about Basic Pioneering as was confirmed by others. An interesting point was picked up in Losch's interview talk with experienced elderly ones. A comment a sister made was she heard an announcement that week, during lunch, at Bethel, about Bethelites being invited to attend Pioneer school. She felt this to be good, because when she pioneered years ago, there was no Pioneer school.
The Basic Pioneer (10 hrs a month) may still be a reality, but it was announced somewhere else than the AGM

One Day assembly in Arizona- $17,000 !!
by AndDontCallMeShirley ini heard from a reliable source that a one-day assembly in arizona last weekend had a "cost" to the publishers of $17,000.. predictably, the elders were nice enough to obligate the attendees to a $6,000 donation to wt before the assembly "costs" (i.e.
"rent/extortion) were even met.
$11,000 rent plus $6000 in extra "donations".

Why doesn't the GB make field service optional for certain congregation members only similar to the Mormons?
by yadda yadda 2 inephesians 4:11 makes for a strong case that not every member of the congregation should have to go door-to-door.. "so christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers,..".
this shows that different members of the first century congregations served different ministerial functions.
so why don't the jw's say that field service is no longer compulsory for all congregation members, only for those who feel a calling for it per eph 4:11..... the mormons sort of do this with their young men and women 'elders' doing 2 years voluntary, genuinely full-time service (these mormons boys put in some big hours 6 days a week and have their meals provided for them, etc!
