  question for those who either aux pioneered pioneered

  by enoughisenough in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  how many of you would have spent the hours "pioneering" if it weren't for the pats on the back and being looked up to as someone special in the congregation?

  i will admit that back in late 1970's i attempted to aux pioneer during a campaign because it was promoted and seemed the right thing to do,but i didn't get the hours and it was stressful trying to...and i didn't feel like a cheerful giver.

  i never attempted it again.

  I pioneered in New York City - Queens County - in the very late 1960s when the "goal" was 100 hours each month. There were times I failed to meet the goal by 10 hours or so, so I tried to make it up the following month. After I married one of my pioneer partners I had husbandly responsibilities and gave up pioneering for a job that paid me for my time. A short while later my wife followed my example - I was her spiritual head, after all - and she too found an employment that paid her for her time.

  I strongly support the concept of being PAID for one's labors.

  Jimmy Bell's "THE BIG PICTURE" show on Rick's Six Screens TeleNetwork got Rick thrown into the YouTube penalty box, so until next week, NONE of Rick's programs will be on Youtube.

  After that, Jimmy Bell's conspiracy show will be be on an alternate streaming service, a new addition to the growing Fearon-News-Network (FNN).

  Rick Fearon is a long-suffering and very kind guy.

  WingCommander, your opinion of Rick is unwarranted. Just because Rick painted your dog green does not make him a nutcase. Rick did that because Chuck Norris TOLD HIM TO.

  But seriously, I consider Rick a friend and a man of principle.

  Is doomsday coming as the Bible predicts or will nothing happen eventually?

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the bible predicts that at some point, the god of the bible will take action.

  this is very convincing when reading bible prophecy and history to back up prophecy as represented in the bible.

  —exactly when god acts is another subject..

  Suddenly, like an ostrich flying at night, nothing will happen. Nothing always happens, but most people are too busy to notice.

  Jehovah's Witnesses and Apostates

  by tfjw in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jehovah's witnesses basically define the term "apostate" as someone who was once a member of the "organization" (a jehovah's witness) but no longer follows the teachings, rules, regulations and practices.

  the society gives their official definition in the following manner: "apostasy is abandoning or deserting the worship and service of god, actually a rebellion against jehovah god.

  some apostates profess to know and serve god but reject teachings or requirements set out in his word.

  Personally, I think the term "EVIL SLAVE CLASS" carries more gravitas and commands more respect for our EVIL arcane powers. Ah, to be young once more... >sigh<

  Welcome back, Noni1974! I offer my condolences on the death of your Mom, and I think I understand your response to it, because I had a similar response when my mother died a few years back.

  I had long ago "disfellowshipped" my mother because that is what her cult taught me to do. I have two brothers who are still JW and firmly into mom-ism as well, and they thought I was a horrible person, so they didn't tell me when she died. I found out when a JW friend from my youth emailed me his sympathies. About my mom I was like, ">YAWN< What's for breakfast?" I was more bothered by my brothers' treatment of me than my mother's lack of life.

  So, Noni1974, what else have you been up to the past decade?

  Will Ukraine win?

  by Fisherman in

  i was under the impression that it was going to be a short war, that russia’s military would indeed subdue ukraine’s forces quickly but that is not happening.

  seems that russia’s military power is much less than it’s reputed to be.

  no guess how it will all end..

  Certainly Яussia thought the war would be a walk in the park before they sent in their untrained, equipped with genuine Яed Chinese junk hardware, ground troops.

  Яussia has an odd attitude toward their military - they very nearly worship their Иavy while treating their ground troops like the dirt they get buried in.

  Personally, I want a Ukrainian victory, partly because half my genes come from that area of the world, and largely because I enjoy it when an underestimated victim surprises a bully. Did you know "Putin" is Яussian for "Bully"?

  It isn't but it should be.

  Vice Network showing a documentary on CSA

  by JeffT in

  2. scandals

  i was channel surfing to find something to watch while working on a book.

  i came in on the middle of an hour and half documentary on the vice network about jw's and child sex abuse.

  it looks very well done with several experts and a number of xjw's, including barbara anderson.

  Yes, JeffT, that is a repeat of "Crusaders" that showed last year, if memory serves.

  I'm glad that the VICE network (it's a USA "cable" network, not on-the-air) found this documentary worthy of repeating. Perhaps a follow-up episode will be developed?
