  I have watched ALL of Watchtower Examination videos on YouTube. They are all wonderful! Good job, Winston!

  Will watch this later when I have more time to fully appreciate it.

  CO Comes Up With A New Way To Be Judgemental...

  by JW_Rogue in

  at the latest co visit something very strange happened.

  during the meeting with the elders and servants he passed out a copy of a hypothetical publisher card and asked us what we could learn from it.

  upon receiving it i saw that the average hours were pretty good, it had return visits and quite a few bible studies.

  We were told to come to the meetings for field service even if we were not going to go out in service. That sounded crazy but no one challenged it and no one followed through either. Just another crazy cult experience.

  She is attracted to the bad boy indeed. She will probably not stay a JW.

  Why JWs record and report time?

  by ThinkerBelle in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  okay, so yes, i'm a born-in, but this point has always baffled me (and i guess i never bothered to research or ask).

  what is the purpose of counting time in service?

  when was it started and why?

  It certainly is a good way for the elders to keep tab on those who are weak in the ministry. It is all indeed, a matter of control. They control your behavior because you have to report every month. It makes you form a mindset that is beneficial to the cult.

  Need advice

  by Darkknight757 in

  hi.i've been pouring over this site for the past few days looking for some advice and i hope there is someone here that can help a guy out.

  i'm desperate.....short bio: i came into the organization after high school and shortly after married a wonderful girl who was born-in.we have been happily married now for nearly 20 years and things were well until 2015 hit.

  by the way, i currently serve as an elder and have the ""privilege"" of being the "watchtower overseer".. either here nor there, we were told we would never have children but late last year my wife became prego!!

  I have lost a newborn baby and it was a horrible experience. No one who has not experience it can truly understand how painful it is to lose a loved and wanted child.

  As the spiritual head, you could direct the family study night to subjects that are, well, kinda eye opening.

  I would study www.jwfacts.com and use that as a guide. Do the blood issue and the many, many Pharisaical doctrine that there is no scriptural backing for. There are tons things, such as birthdays, the qualifications for elders/MS, etc that you can use. (ie., where does it say that a person has to have 10 hours a month of FS to qualify for a MS, etc.)

  Maybe you could gently lead her down a path that will lead her out of her own spiritual darkness.

  i was twenty years old.. as a jehovah's witness, i had no career path ahead of me, no college to attend, and no prospect for my future other than.

  knocking on people's doors and scanning the horizon for signs of armageddon:).

  i was engaged to a 17-year-old witness girl i had met at the mineral wells assembly.. what was our future together?

  I never see the carts where we live either. Don't know why they don't do it, as this is a college town where I live.
