Good memories of full-time service?

by fulano in

perhaps not a topic for everybody... mine.. in both sp service in a foreign field in europe , the freedom and helping people to read and write in spanish .

doing a lot of work in the congregations.. in missionary-service.. helping congregations in a third-world country and see good results in family relations.

and the siestas from 13:00 to 15:00..... who has good memories of bethel?

One of the best parts of Pioneering was that I could count time doing RBC (which I loved) instead of knocking on doors.

The only thing Jehovah gives Hurricane Dorian survivors is.....''the strength to cope with their difficulty and distress.''

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

this article is from jw.org newsroom.

audioaudio download options historic hurricane dorian pummels bahamas.

hurricane dorian, one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the atlantic ocean, made landfall as a category 5 storm on great abaco island in the northern bahamas on sunday morning, september 1, 2019. dorian is especially dangerous due to its slow movement, high wind speeds, and heavy rains.

How so you measure that?

And what about everyone else?

Was there a Mass Suicide because Jehober did not give unbelievers the strength to cope?

FYI - CULT + TIME = Religion

here are some excerpts of a man who was called on by 2 young female jws, received a not-at-home letter as well, and what he thought about them.

i encourage you to read the whole thing, it is worth the laugh.. "it wasn’t pompeo knocking but he would have beamed approval on the two young women on the doorstep.

I did a LOT of letter writing when I pioneered.

It helped for getting time.

But I dont know if I actually mailed more than a few.

I know I was not alone. :)

stupid religion has gotten between my wife and i (of course).

Hey also!

Watch the Leah Rimini Season 1 on Scientology with your wife!!!

It parallels the WT sooooo much, BUT, you are not watching an apostate thing, so it may get her thinking more!!!!!

by Chook in

Many many many times.

I did it for my wife too.

Thank you for admitting you loved having NO responsibility. (I’m sure you loved Jehovah too.)..I always felt that love of the carefree life was a motivating factor for many Witnesses pioneering

It is sadly so true. Everything about being a JW is about shirking normal responsibilities (if your "spiritual")

Pioneering is EASY, being an ELDER is easy. (compared to real life)

It's all simple makework in which you are not graded on, evaluated, or accountable in any meaningful way.

You are praised for wasting your time doing nothing.

LongHairGal - Thanks for the well wishes, I appreciate it! Getting out of the cult around 50, never having saved, or planned for the future makes a game of catchup only possible if I strike gold:)

I am just happy I got out before my kids (we had them late cuz keeping kingdom interests first) were damaged and would have missed out on a normal life.

"Just slaving for the lord" = Just wasting time, being lazy, and peeling off calendar days till the Big A comes!

THEN - we can all Live in a big house with a Stream running through it!

Boys pre-teen sexuality / erections.? Why ? If only for procreation ?

by smiddy3 in

this has been a bug bear my whole life i think and not really sure how to address it as nobody else ever seems to do so.. and it relates to the question if god really created humans .

he did a shithouse job in this regard.. i can`t speak for females this is entirely a male thing.

from my perspective.. male adolescents at a very ,very young age , babies , get erections periodically and it has nothing to do with sexual fantasies ,because they don`t even have an awareness of sex between a male and a female at this time.. and it is second inbuilt nature to masturbate to relieve, get rid of the erection .

iwantoutnow

I dont know about you guys - But I try to be Holy about my body and my Erections.

As soon as I get one, I make sure I get rid of it as fast as possible.!
Satan be gone!!!!

Well in 10 or 15 minutes there abouts, depending if there I am near my computer or not.

Never let them go to waste, you dont know how many you have left :)

I must say I do have some good memories of being a Pioneer.

FYI - I mostly hated door to door, hated it.

But I LOVED hanging out with some friends who also pioneered.

I loved hanging out with my wife who was a pioneer.

I loved breaks!!!! It was not hard to have many of them:)

I LOVED HAVING NO RESPONSIBILITY!
It was not only OK to work very little, and live in my inlaws home, but I was PRAISED FOR IT!!!

It was like being a Teenager still!!

Being a JW makes it easy to IGNORE normal Responsibilities and Feel Great About It!

Of course - now it is amazingly painful because I WASTED MY LIFE - and I am in a horrible Financial Mess in my 50 because of it.
