  When I was a child in the early sixties and my mom was vacation pioneering, she would start her time while walking me to school. One block away from my school there was a bus stop where we both stood silent holding up the latest mags. I hated doing this because my teacher and school mates would see me standing there. In these days the mags were much larger in size than today's so I would try to hide behind them. At that time we just stood silent, but sometime later we were instructed to approach the people to start a conversation. From that moment on fewer publishers went out to do street corner work...

  Such a sad story. Still the JW will spin it: The love and support at their funeral service was such a great witness for the people in the territory...and Jehovah held off the rain for those who may had to stand outside the overflowing Kingdom Hall...same as Whitney's funeral.

  Circuit Oversneer Says. . .

  "do you realize how much of a privelge it is to enjoy the visit of the circuit overseer?

  they are appointed by the governing body who in turn are apointed by jesus and holy spirit.

  so you have a great privilege when we visit your congregation, because it is the same thing as having jesus visit you.

  Circuit overseer Helmut Zoebel was instrumental in my leaving the cult. During one of his visits he made the following statements:

  Anything you hope for in life will happen...all you need to do is wait. A young person may be eager to drive a car. In time he will reach the age to get his drivers permit and drive. Likewise we may be eagerly waiting for the new system...be patient and the end of this old system will arrive! It's like on a car trip where you think your destination is just passed the next hill...but it isn't...so you keep on driving until you get there. WTF moment! If we wait long enough the only thing guaranteed to happen is that we all die!

  If repeated often enough, an inaccurate statement or a lie will eventually sound true. WTF moment had me ask myself where do I hear the same thing repeated over and over and over again? At the Kingdom Hall...ding ding ding we have a winner!

  I'm with you ADCMS...the WTS are the biggest hypocrites when they demand from the authorities the freedom of speech they deny their followers. That very freedom of speech allows them to trap more people in their cult.

  as you can see from the picture, in the kingdom hall there was a board with "publishers, books, booklets," etc... aparently for the entire congregation.

  not sure what the other line is, maybe it is a goal?.

  To add to Pete's comment there were black and red numbers to indicate in which activities the congregation did or didn't achieve their monthly objectives...I remember cutting each digit from large printed sheet provided by the society and pasting them on the board. In our hall the board was set on an easel stand at every Tuesday night meetings.

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  mine was a gradual going away.

  but once it dawned on them, i think people were shocked that i left the religion i espoused from youth.. were people "in the truth" and "in the world" surprised by your departure?.

  I have no idea because after stopping going to the meetings suddenly no one contacted me! For a time my still active wife would say that so and so says hello. Now, nothing. I guess they don’t miss me that much and I don't either. As for my JW family, they live 6 hours away and believe my inactivity is linked to a midlife crisis and that one day I will return. I am going through a crisis...a crisis of conscience and sooner or later they will figure it out.
