there has already been much discussion about how the watchtower society has declared in australia that going door to door is part of a personal ministry.
this seems to be a lame attempt to avoid liability considering that they require time reports and have formal meetings for field service at the kingdom hall.. this is a bit of a dilemma.
reporting time and formal meetings for field service are important methods of control, however it's not clear if the organization is willing or able to handle the potential liability that may come from this.. imagine what would happen if they lost these methods of control.
Don't be obtuse; "The Society" used to be shorthand for all things related to the WT and JWs. And don't pretend that the local congregations don't do everything they're told to by Bethel.
Changing the way a few "I"s are dotted and how a few "t"s are crossed on legal documents doesn't change the nature of the beast.
how much is ramapo going to cost?
my daughter in africa meets in a cow shed for her meetings.
i wonder how many khs in africa they could build if they dropped ramapo?.
"My daughter in Africa meets in a cow shed for her meetings."
How many crocodile infested rivers does she cross to get there?

15 - "an especially fine work that gives evidence of our faith is our zealously sharing the good news with others.
why was nothing said to the 3000 about "preaching?
Good point, Beth Sarim. Rather than not letting the left hand know what the right hand is doing, it's probably all about being seen 😞
i wasn't around when the sparlock thing hit about 11 years ago, but it became such a meme that that debacle still gets mentioned from time to time.
one thing that came up in conversations of the time was about how dumb the name was; that someone in bethel could have come up with a less lame name.
i think that that bethelite was trying to be clever by using "warlock" as the stem and dropping the "w".
Spock is a good thought 🤔 As I said above, I saw "warlock", but perhaps we had a very nerdy Bethelite given free rein and revelling in a short moment of creative freedom 🙄
Lol: Flying Spaghetti Monster! 😸

This was a prescient post. I didn't realise that the pressure to not report hours and thus reduce the WT's culpability in certain cases was already on 11 years ago! That it took them this long to follow through is annoying, if not seemingly typical. Will it take another 11 years before they do something about the shunning of children? 🙄

I just haven't figured out why he might have used "sp" instead of some other consonant/combination of consonants to replace the "W". 🤔
this is a little out of date.
i found it earlier deleting some emails from a good few years ago:.
feel free to add new lines to this old list!.
You might be a JW if you were taught that there is nothing more important than the door to door work, and then meekly capitulated to the GB's acceptance of government mandates preventing the door to door work.
thank you atlantis!!!.

Is the lady you were referring to as "mixed up" from Washington or Hollywood?
i am really,really curious as to how other people back while in the org viewed the gb.
because my oldest brother (older than me by 14 years!
) was first at the watchtower farms and then brooklyn bethel and my uncle is a member of the gb, my mother tended to flaunt these facts and look for every opportunity to go to either place with her bible studies (these terms are so weird to use after all these years lol).
Just looking over some old posts. I wonder if "The Bethel Speaker" ever got his comeuppance. 🤔
And if the GB member, "The Voice of Jehovah" is still alive. Everyone seemed to know who it was, but no-one spilled the beans.

Sliding Fast "Maybe one day we will have "Dubland" complete with rides and immersive experiences. We have Disneyland, WT "museums. Sophia and Caleb are being almost merchandised in every Bethel around the world."
Don't forget the Sparlock toys!
