No, it is not a must. Same with the theocratic ministry school.

A must to be MS?
by crazyhorse inso is it a must and an absolute requirement to be a ministerial servant in the org?.
i was told that if i refuse an appointment as an ms then it means i'm opposing "jehovah's call to service".

Daughter Learns TTATT Thanks to Her Loving Family
by cultBgone inhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycb9blknu2g&list=uuzxbfewkkmm36zfo1xfkm7g.
this is a video from 1990 that waas posted about four years ago on randy watter's youtube channel.
it's long but reveals the emotions one experiences as they wake up and realize how much they've been misled and lied to by the organization who claimed to represent god.. thankfully jennifer's dad never gave up trying to give her a rewarding and fulfilling life.

Would you go to church?
by Coded Logic ini have an unspoken rule that if someone ever invites me to a church - that i haven't been to before - i will go.
even though i'm an atheist i'm still interested in the experiance.
just like i'm not into basketball but i would like to go to a game sometime to feel the energy of the crowd.. growing up as a jw i've never set foot in another church.

If a friend invited me then I would attend. Most of the denominations are so much more lively than the kingdom hall. I have noticed that zero to none have prepared sermons given to them by the leadership.

IT'S TRUE!!! SETTING THEOCRATIC GOALS LEADS TO HAPPINESS!!
by DATA-DOG inaugust 31, 2014, the end of the greatest month of preaching in human history!!
with much hard work and planning, and with jeehoober's blessing, i was able to reach my goal!!
i skipped the entire "uber-special campaign" of advertising jw.org for the governing popes!!

You are a true pioneer. I hope to become a zero hour pioneer like you DD. You have encouraged me to be an inactive servant.

Good for you and welcome to the board. Dont forget to keep making friends out of the congregation. As for your letter, just say how cold the world is and that you don't want to die without being in Jehovah's ark. Also David did many bad things but Jehovah forgave him after repentance. Say you realise that it only takes a second to damage your relationship with Jehovah. You are now ready to be a solid rock like peter.
Have fun while writing it :-) Also, do a lot of independent study.

Formal Introduction - Hi!!!
by Gustv Cintrn inbeen lurking here for yyyyyeeeeears, but was too busy with school, jw life and other interests.
now that i'm done with education for the time being anyway, plus the jw life is under pretty good control, i can spend some time and throw my views here and there in some attractive topics.. born-in, and deeply indoctrinated, but with life experience came better comprehension of my lot in life and have come to accept that, just like the family one is born into, jws are my family, friends, my ultimate and overall identity.
a jw is what i am; like the song 'hotel california', and like so many on this board, check out anytime you'd like but one could never leave.. remember like it was yesterday the failed 'the wolf is coming' calls of 1975, mid-80s, late 90's, y2k, 2004 or so, and same will be with the latest effort to get people overly excited about 'the end'.

Predicting online bible studies, email answers, donations, etc coming soon!
by EndofMysteries ini'm sure real soon they'll have video chat online bible studies, email questions and answers, etc.
right now their website still has 'write a letter' option going on.
how many will get in on the online bible studies and emails and ask some probing questions, ttatt stuff?

The Mormons have missionaries online to chat with interested ones via instant messaging and available by phone. They've had that option for years. If the jws pursue this course, which they probably will, they will once again be late bloomers. Jehovah's chariot is very predictable.
