Well when I was new to the org. I couldn't understand all the fuss over the co's visit, to me the guy seemed like a celebrity the way everyone talked about him. After being in a few years I hated his visits because my husband always drug us out in service all week. We never did get to go out in service with him though....we had kids....he avoided us like the plague. I agree with you though...we would see people at the hall we never saw usually....memorials and co's visits.

Overseer's Visit & Hypocrisy
by JH inwhy is it that when the overseer visits the congregation, that just about everybody shows up to the meetings and they all go in the field service?
a whole week of endless zeal just to prove that they are all so spiritual.
is gone, they all come back to normal.

Yours was the first post that I had read this morning, I have seen the angel trees in the past but were never really sure what they were there for. I am going to try to find one near me. Thanks for a great morning start.
Merry Christmas!!

How Long....
by WildTurkey inwhen i look back on my years as a jw, i cant believe how i accepted so many of their teachings without proof.
as i think about it now, i sometimes really feel like a dumb ass.
i was watching a video of our ministry school from a few years ago and there is no way in hell i could sit and listen to that bull anymore.. when they say the faithful slave, my stomach turns.

I couldn't do it, I even hate to read the quotes from the literature that are some times posted on this site. I can't imagine sitting through a 45 minute talk.

JW kids & Dec. stress
by wheelwithinwheel indecember used to be the worst month of the year for me.
i still remember making a santa out of a toilet paper roll, red crepe paper and some cotton in one of my first years of school.
when i brought it home, knowing it probably wasnt right, the parents reaction convinced me i was a real sinner.

I used to hate December, I hated always having to say "I don't celebrate Christmas" everytime someone wished me Merry Christmas. When I was closer to leaving , I substituted Thank-You

HOW BETHELITES MAKE MONEY
by JT init is called government work- it refers to gov employees being lazy and just getting a check.
well it has to do with bethelites being too lazy to go out and get a real job so we do side jobs to make money while at bethel.
and you can make alot if you are in the right "trade" electrician, plumber, tile setter, roofer, etc and it is all tax free.

Well JT, I am not "truly sad" and was making a point about generalization. I guess it wouldn't bother you to read a post stating that all men were jerks...just a generalization. I just asked you not to lump all gov workers in one basket, I didn't attack you, didn't call you sad ..just gave you experience from being a government worker.

Just a correction...not all government employees are lazy. I am a government employee, I don't have a state car, I don't have a fancy office. Any time off I have to earn. I have to account for my day in 30 minute increments on my time sheet. No one just gives me a check. Let's see I deal with abused children, the parents that abuse them and the women who have had the hell beaten out of them by their boyfriend, husband, live-in, I guess that makes my "free" check worthwhile. Oh and one more added bonus, I won't get a raise this year because the state I live in didn't pass a budget. Don't put all government workers in one basket, alot of us don't earn as much as you think we do. I have 3 children and me and them on my salary are below the federal poverty level for a family of four and I work 40 hours a week in this government job.
