and how those reports are viewed, to those that are still so fixated on numbers.. i served as secretary on the service committee for many years, and have seen it all!.

i was really disheartened when wt changed the requirement for aux pioneering to allow for 30 hrs, instead of the 50 it has been for so long.

TYPICAL EXCHANGE WHEN A DUB DOESN'T TURN IN TIME...

Secretary: Brother Weak, have you turned in your time?

Brother Weak: No

Secretary: Why not?

Brother Weak: Because I didn't go to Field Service last month.

Secretary: OK. But did you talk to anyone at all about Jehovah for at least 15 minutes?

Brother Weak: Well, let me see...

Secretary: Hold that thought. I'm going to put down that you did at least 15 minutes. If that didn't happen, just call me later. OK?

Brother Weak: But...

Secretary: Relax brother. We'll talk later.

Brother Weak: OK...

Do Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY believe that their worldly friends, relatives and small children will be slain in the street by god?

i mean, it's so utterly ****ed up, it's unbelievable.. just think about the nitty gritty of it:.

people that they love & care for who don't share their religion deserve to be killed, left without a grave & eaten by wild animals.

one day, this will happen & they'll be surrounded by billion upon billion of decaying, rotting corpses.

Separation of Powers said:

It's like when the flight attendant is going over the safety procedures before a flight, "make sure you put your oxygen mask on BEFORE assisting anyone else."

However, I should point out that the reason this is done is because parents will tend to help their children put their masks on first before putting on their own. It's natural parental instinct. However, if they do that, they stand a good chance of sufficating before being able to completely help all of their children. Since children can generally go a liitle longer without sufficient oxygen than adults, the advice is given to "put your mask on first before helping others around you".

(But i do get your point)

Self-made Persecution?

by Tech49 in

at the recent dc, we had the 1 hour drama on sunday that focused on trusting in jehovah, no matter what events come up.

in the opening scene, we see a father watching a news broadcast on tv, and he learns that jw's have been banned, overnight.. this got me thinking, again.

almost weekly, we hear about persecution coming, soon soon soon!

Yes... that construction project in Warwick is pretty big, but no where near the $1.6 Billion in pure profit that they'll get with the Brooklyn sell-off...

I do agree that the WT does like to set itself up for persecution from time to time just to forcibly fulfill prophecy...

This creates a persecution complex that trickles down to the rank-and-file... just go on YouTube on you'll see what I mean. If anyone makes any non-theocratic comments on any videos posted by JWs, there's usually a response from a Dub saying: "We love this persecution. It was foretold in the Bible that we would be the subject of hatred"...

by Captain Blithering in

dear brethren ;.

it is maintained by some of the friends in the ecclesia.

The witnesses read and study all the Watchtower magazine, not just parts of it, like some professed Christians who limit their Bible reading to the last one fourth of the Bible and brush aside as outdated the first three fourths of it.

"I won't watch HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER" because Neil Patrick Harris is gay"

by OnTheWayOut in

that's what my jw mother said.

folks, there are plenty of reasons not to watch how i met your mother, but a gay actor playing a straight part is not one of them.

i should give her a list of known gay actors and ruin a bunch of movies and t.v.

Calebs Airplane

Tell her Leo Greenless was a gay GB member and that Frederick Franz held nude Bible studies with his favorite bethelite boys.

Infernosdante... that reminds of a Minterial Servant in my congo who bought a shit load of hand sanitizer at below market price (just before the swine flu histeria got blown out of proportion). He was actually doing quite well for a few months selling this hand sanitizer to hotels, businesses, schools, the brothers in his congo and other congos, etc.. But then the swine flu histeria suddenly fizzled out practically overnight and it got to the point that he couldn't even give the stuff away for free. He really thought that he would son be able to start a part-time business and quit his day job to go pio-sneer... but he ended up becoming inactive instead and entered a deep depression for a while before finally snapping out of it... so sad...
