so far what is the response to the aux pioneering this year vs last year?.
in our cong - only 10 so far vs 52 last april.
The only people not expected to do field service are those under restrictions because of conduct.
Ummm......I've never heard of a restriction short of being disfellowshipped that would disqualify someone for field service. Hell, they even let known pedophiles do that.
(interspersed with opinions of course...) .
it will be 6 years since i left the sickness known as jehovah's witnesses.
whew!
Speaking of John C. Maxwell, I just finished reading one of his book for a masters class I am taking. The book is entitled the 21 irrefutable Laws of Leadership.
Now if only I can get motivated to write this paper due at the end of the month.....
my 8 year old has recently discovered star trek and loves it.
the other night we watched an episode "return of the archons".
whenever someone spoke differently or questioned, it was recognized that they were not one of them or "of the body".
We responded by telling her "the most important thing and what will make her happy is to serve Jehovah and do his will in this system
This line of thought is too often used to crush dreams JWs have that don't correlate directly to a WT directed activity.

This little girl will do just fine.....
I routinely watch these type of shows with my wife that should be as easy as ie to draw parallels with how the WT organization operates....
Just goes right over her head!!!
f**k you, wt!!.
talk about an evil cult that will not even allow it's members to learn..
8 weeks into mine.
Technology Management....
someone else suggested this so i just figured, ok let's do it.. 1. all present jws died and i became the sole leader of the entire religion.
2. then i would dissolve the religion and burn every last memory of it ever existing.
3. all books would be burned, all buildings destroyed.
...I was totally and completely lobotomized.
a relative of mine was at the assembly yesterday and was appalled at the message givien before lunch:.
she heard them blast higher education...then warn to not miss meetings for work...then they gave the stupidest illustration i ever heard- they said that it is true that supporting your family is important...but not to give it too much importance and said it is like trying to cross a busy street.
they said if you see a car a long distance off it is ok to cross, if you are too careful you will never cross the street.
Even if you were going just to give her those "see, I told you so" looks, she wouldn't get it and would just make excuses for them.
I can't tell you how many times during discussions I've watched my wife paint herself into a corner in trying to defend WT nonsense. In the end, they'll always turn it around to being something wrong with you and out comes the persecution card.

This coming from a group of old geezers who have 7 million people tending to their every need. They are so out of touch with reality!!!
That would have been a WTF moment for me where I'd have given my wife the .
sd-7 texted me today.
his wife is in labor, has had some complications and is having an emergency c-section.
he asked me to spread the word to the folks on jwn.
Why stop at emoticons....call BS on someone when they are being nasty...I have.

I'll be sitting home next weekend working on assignments for the classes I'm taking to obtain my Masters degree.
I will be in direct defiance of the JW elders who told me long ago that getting an education is a waste of time.
