it's a shame this is only in the study edition, so the general public can't see how normal and down-to-earth the witnesses are in how they perceive themselves.... .

New MS - Looking for the "better" job

by nochoice in

long, long time lurker and great fan of the site - first time poster.

i am not sure if i am truly a lurker since that implies i am apostate-curious.

in fact, i have been mentally out completely for a long time, but still physically in like many of you.

My vote for the easiest job goes to Territories. I'm the territory servant in my congregation (I'm not a MS, though) and I don't do jack shit. I just hand territory cards to those who ask me for one and get them back when they're done working it. I'm supposed to keep track of who has which territory, but I just make stuff up when the CO visit is nearing.

Anthony Morris III publicly admits that he doesnt enjoy Field Service

by Calebs Airplane in

2pm, january 9, 2010 san juan, puerto rico.... jws from all over the island take turns to use the biggest coliseum in the caribbean (jose miguel agrelot coliseum).

the big event... a brief 2-hour assembly featuring brooklyn bethel celebrities including anthony morris iii.

there had been a lot of excitement building up in the days preceding this event as there were rumors circulating that the society had a very special announcement to make.. after 2 ambiguous talks from 2 bethel speakers, anthony morris iii finally takes the stage and everyone is so thrilled to see him up close or on the big screen behind the stage.

Do you -or anyone- have a recording of that? I'd love to have some proof when potentially discussing this with my JW family.

What did you eat when you moved out if you didn't know how to cook?

by Aware! in

i'm male, in my early twenties, and i don't know how to cook.

if one day i blow my cover i will have to move out and fend for myself.

my question is what frozen meals or quick fix meals do you recommend for a single guy?

afreeman

You have the Internet at your disposal. Do some research and learn how to make some simple meals while you still can.

How to make your exit with minimal pain while still living at home with your parents

by sseveninches in

as requested, i've made a new thread with the info i posted on a previous thread.

this is intended for young jws who have woken up from their anesthesia but still cannot move, or in other words, have learned ttatt but are still living with parents and are afraid of getting kicked out if they make their opinions/findings known.

i am included in this group of people, because i myself still live at home with parents.

afreeman

Thank you for this post, sseveninches.

Your guide is pretty much the same as what I've planning on doing. I'm a 20 year old who's studying engineering at college and still lives with his parents. I'll just play their little game for two more years or so as I finish college, get a job and move out. Then I'll fade into freedom.

Things may not go as smoothly, though, given that the elders have been hounding me into becoming a ministerial servant lately. Also because I just got hired at a job that will make me miss the weekday meetings. There is a storm coming, yes.

Why do 7 million + people keep excusing ,rationalising , justifying ,failed expectations of prophecy`s these past 130 + years of Jehovah`s Witnesses non events

by smiddy in

how many times can you excuse failed expectations.

how many times can you justify altering interpretations of scripture.

how many times can you rationalise "new light".

How many times can you excuse failed expectations

The vast majority of Witnesses remain ignorant of these predictions. The very few of them who do know about them just swipe them under the rug with the aid of Proverbs 4:18.

How many times can you "spin" your doctrines

How many times are these things going to occur before a Jehovah`s Witness wakes up to this sham of a religion
