  Counting service time in a creative way

  by nevaagain in

  couting time and, how to count time while doing as little service as possible is often a hot topic around witnesses.

  i even overheard pioneers discussing about it.

  they call it "creative time counting" (i translated that phrase from a different language so bear with me ;-).

  I'm Sorry, I'm not trying to be an apologist, but travel counts. It's time you're spending doing something when you could be elsewhere watching TV, reading a book or something else not service related.

  How do Americans feel about Canadians and Britons interjecting their opinions onto hot localized political topics: gun laws, abortion, ect?

  by adjusted knowledge in

  in addition to the above question, why do citizens of the two above mentioned countries, or other countries, feel the necessity to tell americans how they should interpret the american constitution for localized issues?.

  i fairly much have an idea what the general population in the usa feels in regards to the first question.

  this could be one of the possible reasons cnn piers morgan poor ratings and eventual firing.

  Guns are awesome and so much fun. 

  i love pissing off antis.

  if you don't like guns, you're retarded and don't count.

  I'll be honest - I like mowing the grass at the Kingdom Hall. I just genuinely enjoy that kind of stuff. 

  I enjoy being in the outdoors, I enjoy making lawns look good, I get satisfaction from it. Not because "it's for Jehovah" but because it's for beautifying that part of the world for everyone who happens to walk by it.

  It makes me HAPPY©

  Automatic disfellowshipping if "sin" is repeated?

  by snugglebunny in

  back in the day, if someone was put on probation for an offence, rather than being disfellowshipped, if he re-offended whilst that probation was in force, disfellowshipping was automatic.

  normally a probation lasted 12 months.

  after the probation was finished that was it.

  TTATTelder:

  That 6 month thing seems so arbitrary. So, 7 months means he was repentant, but 6 doesn't? It's so ridiculous.

  I'm actually glad that I found TTATT now that I'm a chill adult. I don't have any "desires incidental to youth," or want to step out on my wife, I'm not a liar. 

  The only thing I could be DFd for right now is Apostasy, but since no one knows I know TTATT, that won't happen unless I say/do something stupid.

  call in on phone, turn down sound and go do other things at home. 

  Haha! I've called in on phone, turned down the volume and then watched DVR'd Game of Thrones. Then just turned the phone up briefly to see if anyone was disfellowshipped/reinstated or if there were any letters read. Then, turn it back down and finish Game of Thrones.

  As a designer, I'm Actually considering creating ePub/mobi files that have pictures from that week's meetings or that look like the JW Library app, but are actually Sci Fi short stories. You'll even be able to highlight them to make it look like you studied. 

  would others be interested in that? If I do it, I'll make them publicly available if there's an interest in this.
