  jw love to make a big deal about christmas but the reality is alot of people have time off work from christmas to new years.

  we like to go home.

  with me being an ubm does it become an issue within the cong ?

  I remember one time having an argument with a witness and he was like “Why do families have to get to together only at Christmas, why can’t everyday be Christmas “. I told him it is because in the business working world families have limited time and it is a great time because most businesses are closed.

  He was like “Oh, I never really thought of that “. We all know the real views of JWs on Christmas are more about trying place a wedge between you and your worldly family ( Allah I hate that word ).

  Do JW do family reunions ?? I am guessing no.

  So

  JW love to make a big deal about Christmas but the reality is alot of people have time off work from Christmas to New Years. We like to go home. With me being an UBM does it become an issue within the cong ? I have made my opinion known to the elders if you ask personal question I will tell you to get fucked and I don't want you alone with my wife.

  That reminds me when I was about 12 years old, I was just shortly after christmas and people were throwing out their old christmas trees ( when people still used natural trees ). We took like 6-8 old rotten christmas trees and placed them on the Kingdom Hall lawn and decorated them with garbage. We even managed to get them to stand up.

  We also christmas carolled a Kingdom Hall during a tuesday night meeting. They called the police. We just played dumb and pretended we didn't know.

  LOL

  We were rotten kids.

  p.s- I wasn't the ring leader.

  on oct. 22, eight brothers were released from prison in turkmenistan by presidential amnesty.

  (see 2014 yearbook, p. 31) the ninth brother is still imprisoned, but it is hoped that he will be released shortly.

  some were already in prison for three or more years and had been severely mistreated.

  I am pretty sure no one in my cong. does field service ever. It is kind of a dirty little secret no one likes to talk about.

  There is 80 plus publishers and maybe 4 people will be in service on saturday morning, maybe 8 at the most.

  All the numbers are lies. There is no hounding by the elders because they are just as guilty.

  Some people charged the machine guns on D-Day to stop the Nazis, and some people babysat and worked as janitors for the SS.

  How noble.

  Oh Bullpoop

  I know there is a culture of a bullying and intimidation in each congregation. I know people who turn in slips with zero are treated differently. I know the panic that comes with each C.O visit.

  When my wife was marked and no one go out into field service with her, I would drive the car and follow her though the neighbourhood. No way I was letting my wife knock on strange doors by herself. I see the way the people with UBMs are treated. No one offers to give a ride to an assembly, no one offers help moving, no one wants to have us over for supper.

  It is the culture of a bullying and intimidation that got these women killed that was being enforced by thug elders. Just saying NO isn’t quite and as easy as you seem to think it is.

  When your BOE is more concerned about impressing the C.O than the safety of the members of congregation, I don’t think what I said was inappropriate .

  What really pisses me off about the accident was not a single Elder ever said “ Don’t get yourself killed coming to meeting, going in field service “ . No No No, you die in service you are a martyr.

  A few years back, there were two sister killed in a car accident in our old congregation. What happened was the average temperature in January was well past -30. Near the end of the month all the ubers were in a big panic to get some hours in. C.O is also coming for a visit and everyone is in a big panic.

  Later that morning two sisters in a Honda Civic are smoked by an 18 wheeler on an icy highway. Both are killed.

  C.O comes to do the funeral. Of course it is just a copy and paste infomercial for the WTS. The whole time I am thinking it is your fault they are dead you morally bankrupt idiot. They were out on icy highways trying to impress you. Putting your life at risk to hand out magazines they don’t understand to people who don’t want them.

  Next winter comes. Elder whos wife was killed calls my wife on a terrible winters day asking if she is coming out for field service. I grab the phone and snap on the elder “ you killed your wife, you are not killing mine “. Sorry, I forgot to mention it was a rural hall, lots of driving for field service.

  We moved to another city. Elders aren’t in a big rush to be my new best friend. I prefer it this way.
