The hook, well I was very lonely at this time in 1992-93, just lost my girlfriend, and got hooked by a workcolege which was a witness which I ended marrying, then divorceing and remarrying... She is still a witness, me I faded away...

"Joined-As-Adult" JW's: What need did the WT fulfill for you?
by Check_Your_Premises in.
were you able to fulfill or remove that need in some way?
did fulfilling that need make it possible or easier for you to exit the wt?

What comment will you make at the New Light Watchtower Study this weekend
by jwfacts ingbsjg just made a comment that the watchtower will feature the article on 'new light' this weekend.
what a perfect opportunity for a visiting brother to a congregation (or incognito apostate) to answer with some honest and thought provoking comments.
"i find it interesting that the watchtower criticises some religions for not changing their old doctrines and creeds, and other religions that do progressively change them for having had them wrong in the first place, and yet we seem to be doing the same ourselves.".

Hours
by vitty inconcerning the hours pubs are expected to put in every months the "national" average is usually a guide and everyone strives to "do" this amount.
but since it is "national and not "international" is seems quite a coincidence that everyones country has this 10 hours average.. also since the pioneer and aux pioneer hours went down, surely the national average must have of too.
i cant remember any articles saying the average had now gone down to 6 ...............hooray .

Fantastic music site I just discovered! FANTASTIC!
by nicolaou injust type in a song that is typical of your tastes and the site will create a 'station' that continually plays music you should like.
fantastic to have in the background if you are surfing, even better if your pc is the heart of your music system.. it does not play requests, that isn't what it's about, although your original selection will end up in the playlist.
by the way, did i say i think this is fantastic!.

Do you think that the elders DF'd or DA'd you because you knew to much?
by booker-t ini was reading about carl o jonsson and how the wts df'd him because he found out about the 586/607 contraversy.
i was wondering how many people are unfairly kicked out of the wts because they have some damaging info on the wts that could lead to a massive exodus.
i know when i found out about beth sarim the elders told me not to tell any other jw's about it.

Elders have no manners
by Jez inthere i am, saturday morning, 9am, having a coffee with my kids, hair very messy, no make up, pj's on still, and they show up!

i have asked them to do this but they won't comply.

Those wonderful, insightful, platform talks.......
by LivingInReality in...so annalice and i were discussing this topic the other day and now i pose it to you.
remember all those talks from the platform where the brothers encouraged the congregation that as far as putting in hours in the field ministry that we must remember that if brother a can only put in 5 hours a month and he puts that 5 hours a month in, then he is doing all that he can (applause, applause) and if brother b can put in 50 hours a month and he does, there is no difference between brother a and brother b, because they are both doing all they can in jehovah's work.. well then, why is it that if brother a faithfully puts in that 5 hours a week, he can't carry microphones, he can't lead the congregation in prayer and he can't hold any priveleges, because he doesn't put in hours that match the national average??
isn't that making brother a feel like shit and that he is unworthy?

Well I know how it felt being Brother "A" and being treated like a second or third class brother, I wasn't good enough for them, only read up front the Watchtower once, because three brothers that usually do it were not there..... I did put also the congregations route system on pc for them, yes lots of work, but I counted the hours as service time.... It pushed my hours alot for a couple of months though... Lapuce

Roll Up the Rim to Win~ Truly a Loving Provision of Jehovah
by damselfly inrandom memory of the week while drinking my double single this morning.
do any of my fellow canucks remember when this contest first came out in canada and hearing this story?
a single mother pioneer sister with low income was having doubts about being able to continue pioneering due to having vehicle troubles, lots of expensive repairs versus no income to get them fixed.

I guess anything random can be seen by the JW's as a sign of god... Makes their life more thrilling I guess
