mulan and seeker4 got me thinking in the previous thread called 'what did you do first?...'..
they both made the point that they were turning in reports when not going out on field service (tsk, tsk!
) and i remembered the times i 'cooked the books' a little and rounded up the figures, fiddled my time a little, counting time when it was not proper ministry.
Anyway, if I did it and others do or did it, it makes me wonder just how accurate these figures are that come out of the WTS every year. They are obviously going to be very inflated - but by how much?
last month i turned in 8 hours service.....
.amount acutally spent = 0
do you think i want the elders hounding me?
here's my list of experiences and comments about time-wasting on dub field ministry.
it's a bit raw; sorry i haven't prosed it up.. -------------------------------------------------------------.
taking a personal interest in the householder.

what did you do first?.
contributing to the 4/10 of the world worldwide work.
going out in service
oops forgot to put the word stop
ok.........after realising your doubts with the org what did you do first.....the society says that the first usual sign of an apostate is to stop going out in service.....I would imagine that the first sign would be to stop contributing....after all money is money and why give to something you have little or no faith in
so after my once a year visit with my parents it dawns on me that my dad, after 30 years in the "truth" has never been an elder.
but yet my brother has.
so i'm thinking to myself i wonder if he was never an elder because one or more of his children has been disfellowshipped for all or part of the last 22 years.
it just sounds like your dad was a bad dad and never deserved to be an elder............4 out of 5 df'd Jeeebus Christ..i think that is some kinda borg record........if we were mormons would it be 9 out of 10 kids??
