"50 Years a Watchtower Slave" Chapter 10 Part B

by new boy in

the congregation there had about eighty “publishers” in it.

it was a mix of farmers and city folks.

there were three to four families there who had moved in from other states, to help out.

Thanks again, it has been enjoyable reading.

Just to get the record straight about the financial support for pioneers. Wasn't it so that the pioneers were allowed to buy the literature for the half of the face value and then sell it for full price for door-openers? At least in those day I was taking care of the literature desk we sold the books and magazines cheaper to them. But I have no idea if they were allowed to keep the difference or expected to donate it for the "good sake".

Jeremiah 10:23 - "...It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step."

by HereIgo in

i have been accused recently of "trying to direct my own step" because of my questioning the org and refusing to come back to the "truth" for the past 6 years.

i personally still believe in god, i just doubt that he is behind the jw org, that's all.

why is that so hard for jw's to understand?

clearpoison

Well, I know you would like to refer to Acts 17:11 about the example of the Beroeans, but there lies a huge problem. You see, they settled the issue then and for whole eternity, they found it to be truth, why would you need to investigate it any further (pun intended).

You wear tight pants and you will be in trouble

by wannaexit in

i was reading in another forum, that a letter to the elders instructed them to speak to anybody who persists in wearing tight pants.

if changes don't happen then the instructions are to disqualify him from being a publisher but it won't be announced to the congregation.

i am am curious to see if this letter will surface.

clearpoison

Wow

So according to this excerpt from CO visit material, wearing thight pants or skirt is a free-pass to stay in congregation, without being announced as wrong-doer and with no possibility to share in ministry. Why aren't doubtfull or fading friends using this gateway in greater extent? Benefit of no service, no answering, no preparing and still free access to society of friends. Kind of being disfellowshipped but still part of the congregation.
