I don't know any cases personally, probably because London is far too expensive for young pioneers. They tend to go to developing countries where they can live on a few hundred pounds a month and then come home to mummy and daddy when the money runs out.

Ten years later, where are they now? Youngsters moving to London where the ministry is more exciting
by truthseeker inabout 10-12 years ago, some of the young pioneers in my hall moved to london because they thought the ministry would be more exciting than the poorly supported field service groups in my sleep town in sussex.. i was thinking the other day what became of them.
i know that one is now an elder and married, the other one i'm not so sure about.. one of my relatives once said that the truth is more exciting in london, people are warmer, there's more opportunities for young witnesses.. if you lived in the uk, perhaps in the south of england, was it a fad for some of the youth to move to london where they thought the ministry was more exciting?
have they left or are they still in?.

NOTJUSTYET: or you could go there from this site and look up a completely random congregation, just to mess with them
Do you think they might get worried if they saw that a huge number of their visitors were visiting apostate sites also?

Letter about using iPads at meetings
by under the radar infirst of all, i really appreciate it when official, especially "secret," boe letters and the like are posted here.
it's great to have that stuff on hand, straight from the horse's... uhh...mouth, when certain "friends" deny the slave would ever do or say such and such.... anyway, there have been some references to a letter they sent out about using ipads and the like during congregation meetings.
could anyone provide a scan or link to this letter?

How Far Would You Go To Steal A Bible Study From A New Pioneer?
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inonce upon a time there was a new brother named dave.
dave was new to the faith, and once he was baptized, he started to aux pioneer, and he finally made it to a "regular pioneer", sometimes "special pioneer hours".
dave had a very good feel for a certain demographic, he success rate was tremendous, and his ability to understand scriptures, remember society literature, did not go unnoticed by certain jealous shepherds.

Sounds like a psychopath to me.
And the complete opposite to the elders in my cong. If a sister tries to GIVE them a study they ain't interested.

I'm extremely cynical and suspicious about everything and everyone which is probably what led to me waking up.
I'm a Princess and you should all treat me as such

PrincessCynic
i know someone who was baptised at 9 and started regular pioneering at 10 (homeschooled, got dragged around with her pioneer mum) and is still going 10 years later. She had no proper education, no life experience and seems a bit scared of the real world.

yep, they're all fake-pioneering doing fake ministry thinking they're sooooo spiritual and earning their salvation. It's a complete joke

well I got dragged out this morning for a congregation effort and we were assigned some rural territory miles away. We stopped to get breakfast on the way and by the time we got there it was pouring with rain and my husband just drove past the territory, past all the witlesses and kept on going! We had a lovely drive around the countryside and stopped for lunch in another town before coming home and jumping back into bed.
Best Saturday Morning Field Service Ever. My husband is learning well. We showed our faces but didn't do a single door. I'll put a couple of hours on our reports and that's us done for the month.
