  Fascinating.

  I dont want in any way to throw this thread off its track but we have been wondering for a long time who the real movers and shakers are behind the Governing Body.

  I think OrphanCrow is showing us one of them.

  People get "pissed off" when they dont have a solution or an answer.

  You are 100% correct goingthru...

  just remember, you are out to win the war not the battle.

  How are the JW's reacting to the new USA gay marriage laws?

  by purrpurr in

  2. friends

  personally i think this is wonderful.

  i have nothing against gay people and wish them only the best.. but of course i'm in a minority of one, the jw's around me are posting away on fb the most homophobic vitriol imaginable.

  a lot of them are even saying that it's the start to armageddon!!.

  In addition to being hypocrisy in action (as they are in so many areas) they wont read the decision. They wont know what you are stating above.

  They call themselves politically neutral, "like Jesus and the early Christians" they say.

  The facts show otherwise. JWs are one of the most litigious groups of non voting citizens of our time. Especially shocking when you look at what a "young" organization they are. They came out of the gate aggressively pursuing their "rights" as they see it.

  We Lost Our Preaching MOJO, how do we get it back? 

  by skepticSam in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  does anyone have any theories why our territory that's be reduced six or seven times over the last twenty years is not covered anymore?

  we use to cover our area in less than six months and now nobody really keeps track of how the preaching work by territory is going.

  is the advent of the mobile-literature machine why we don't see a zealous preaching spirit?

  Dont worry.

  If need be, the rocks will cry out.

  It says so in the Bible.

  Mormons got this right!

  i found this video segment to be very interesting.

  substitute jw for mormon and russell/rutherford for smith and you have a very good comparison.

  maybe post-jw's could all meet up at a blood bank for coffee.. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/2015/06/26/june-26-2015-former-mormons/26293/.

  This quote from Joe134s first link- sounds just like the Org....

  The church has a very progressive research and information division, with tremendous public opinion surveyors," he said. Among other steps, it has hired an expert in search-engine optimization to raise the profile of the church's own views in a web search.

  Slow motion pioneers

  by 1Averagejoe in

  2. beliefs

  observing our local unemployed pioneers and how long they take to get to their first or next call, usually taking the longest route to get to one they know won't be there anyway.

  along the way it's gossipy this and that.

  pioneers?

  I love that QB LOL

  Of the categories you gave, I was definitely phantom pioneer.

  After years of figuring out how to navigate the pioneer system, I learned to make my own arrangements. I had lots of studies and I was always willing to drive and pay for the gas.

  I didnt meet with the group for morning service which helped a lot!

  I agree with Faye, that is mortifying when it happens (I had a similar visit recently) but I love your take on it "out of the mouth of babes" indeed! LOL

  So they told you to train them now so you wont have problems later and yet 2/3 of all JW kids flee the Org when they can.

  So what good does all that "training" do?

  You sound like you are doing the wise thing....might as well relax and raise your children to be good people and enjoy cake!

  I pioneered for the first time at 20 and it was 100 hours.

  I used to end up with laryngitis because my pioneering was hard core genuine due to my pioneer partner being an 80 yr old widow with a lot of vim and vigor.

  I quit pioneering to have a family and many years later jumped back in and the whole scene of pioneering was quite different.

  It was basically a bunch of people barely going out in service in the morning with the publishers and then meeting back for lunch and then long afternoon hours drifting around doing useless stuff. Things like studying with people with Alzheimers in nursing homes who basically didnt know they were even there and certainly wouldnt remember! But hey, it was sitting down and climate controlled so the pioneers went for it.

  Another thing, there is a LOT of gossiping and the accompanying judging that goes on during those long afternoons of doing "nothing" that some call pioneering.

  Day 2 StarTrekAngel...

  Just think! By the time lunch is over you are past the halfway mark of this yuck weekend!

  You are on the downhill slide and soon it will all be in the past!

  Interesting what you told us about the Jesus video yesterday. I hope that gets more conversation here on the board.

  Thanks for being our on the scene reporter. You are taking one for the team!
