This thread highlights the sort of thing that if you substituted "JW" for "Blacks" or "Jews" would leave everyone rightly gasping in disgust. There are plenty of bad tippers out there, with only 7M JWs, the vast majority are non-JW's. And i would argue against the suggestions that JW's are proportionatly meaner as well. I always tip well where its deserved, and fairly even when it isnt, and I would say this was typical with others JW's I know. This site is broad in scope, so I know it covers a lot of topics, but stuff like this is cheap, lazy and intellectually deficient. Thats all.

Are JWs the worst restaurant customers?
by Alfred in(a little background info before i ask my question...).
my sister-in-law (non-jw), who manages a popular chain restaurant near a kingdom hall, just found out that my wife and i have recently faded, so she decided to get something off her chest the other day... you guessed it: she wanted us to know that jws are the worst customers ever!
she then told us some really embarrassing stories about how jws would request a table for 15 to 20 people (after a sunday meeting) and then (when the bill came) some of the jws would start deliberating amongst themselves on whether or not the waiter was diligent or not (to justify the low tip he was getting anyway).

Wow, This is Getting Tougher!
by Franklin Massey ini'm having a really hard time giving my meeting parts.
i had a service meeting part this week and i could hardly get through it.
i am no longer convinced of some of the things jws teach and so i try to either eliminate those things from my parts, or reword them so that i'm not speaking about that which i do not personally believe.

I might be able to trump that - how about delivering the part about trusting the FDS at the recent Elders School - why oh why oh why.......

Franklin,
Reading your posts, you and I seem to living the same life...... I wonder how many like us there are here (I know of MLE..) - my conclusion is that this is the life Ive got - its not all bad by any means, "thinking" about things has made it harder for sure - but I am by no means convinced that the general public at large enjoy a happier and more fulfilled life than I do..if that sounds defeatist, well, there you go....

Some observations from the KM Elder School I wanted to share with you.
by miseryloveselders inmy school was a couple weeks back, and it was interesting to a degree.
to be honest with you, it reminded me of a police crime scene investigation with yellow tape.
what i mean is, in one respect it was business as usual.

By the way, lots of you are asking to see the outline for the talk "Trust the Faithful and Discreet Slave" - there is nothing secret about it, apart from one quote from a 1925 WT, its just all taken from the chapter in the OD book of the same name - chapter 3 I think. Sorry its not more exciting than that...

Nice commentry. I attended recently. In fact I had a part - something of a noteworthy one as it turned out, although it wasnt the education talk. Im finding this whole thing slightly bewildering, and Im wondering who else at my school was thinking like me.... this is all quite weird for me, but Ill think about what else I can add in time..

Im not ready to bear my soul here - but to answer your questions, the number that partake has never concerned me - how was ever a truly reliable figure anyway? And the passing of the 1914 generation? Well, I have concerns, or course, otherwise I wouldnt be here.

I had a smurf in the early 80's - no problems that I can recall. Some JW's are prone to some pretty ridiculous rumors. That said there are some pretty ridiculous ones on here as well....

Curious Confused: Can you Answer this
by truthlover inwelcome to the board -- it does have a lot of good information on it with a lot of sincere people, i mostly sit and read the comments, dont make a lot of comments... however,.
one question i have, since the new elders book has been released, i was wondering why the term "brazen conduct" is now being used - is it to narrow down pubs actions so that they are in more of a corner as to why they did what they did when in front of a jc??
would that not allow for more df's??
-

Its designed I think to create a clearer differential between one who errs, once, perhaps a few times, in conduct that would be catagorized as Loose Conduct, and the person who makes a practise of that conduct - even if it becomes known about - becoming brazen in their actions and attitude. Thats my take anyway. I think in practical terms it will result in FEWER people sitting before a JC rather than more.
