i ask this because the wt always bangs on about if you trust in jehovah and make that leap into pioneering, you will always be provided for.
at the time i joined the cult, a friend was continuous aux.
pioneering.
I did!
When I was out of work it was suggested I use the time for pioneering and at the the end of the month Jehovah would reward me with a job. As a single Mum with 2 kids I really did believe He would, but he didn't.
The following month I spent every single day job hunting and that is how I eventually got one!
sorry it's gonna be long winded.
i've done my best to reconstruct from memory.
my husband was next to me the whole time.
"Do you believe the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses is Jesus' 'Faithful and Discreet Slave' and serves as Jehovah God's sole channel of scriptural
truth? Your response, please?"Who would get baptised if this were asked? I would have because I did believe that at the time. We had one elder describe the Sunday Watchtower Study as "our personal letter from Jehovah"!
what is considered as a requirement for them now-a-days to turn in their time as a "publisher?
" among born-in, how young were you?
my parents became jws when i was 9 yrs old.
My eldest became an unbaptised publisher at 10 and her younger sister was about 8.
There was no pressure for either to get baptied and I would have resisted it if there had because even as a still very much in dubby I disagreed with children being baptised until after their rebellious stage.
that's right, a knife and a baby in close proximity.... .

anything goes, so long as you're proving how "wise" king solomon was.. .
Clearly being tempted with an eternity of petting Pandas is failing to keep them in so now they are using fear to scare them into staying.
Sick!

Welcome Steve
We will support you on your journey. I am entering my 4th year of of "fading" so not disfellowshipped or disassociated...........yet. Lol
I have made wonderful friends here and have also met many members of this forum at the regular meet-ups held here in the UK.
Have sent you a PM.
i know of two couples who left the congregation i faded from, they two have never received a shepherding call, i was usually the one who came by with food or offered to help clean their homes.
most of you are beyond this like i am, this goes to the new members arriving here who might think the "friends" are coming to check up on them.
the elders in my former hall were too much into drinking and eating, average body weight was 265lbs with pumpkin shaped bodies.
Last meeting was memorial 2009. Not heard a peep since, shepherding or otherwise from KH here or witnesses from my old congs either.
