it was a mild surprise, learning that a brother and sister-in-law had began re-associating with jehovah's witnesses after at least 25 years of being away.
the couple, of hispanic ethnicity, are in their early 60's, with their five children all grown and independent.
the family had been considered nominal jws, infrequently attending meetings, rarely in field service, but using the annual convention as their family vacation.
Monthly Field Circus hours are everything:
2 hours or more = Bathroom Cleaning Privileges
4 hours or more = Microphone Privileges
6 hours or more = Lawn Mowing Privileges
8 hours or more = Sound Booth Privileges
So he must have been reporting less than 6 hours of Field Circus per month.
watch out for armageddon it is going to be numbing to human sensibilities:.

i guess he's thinkin jehovah's gonna roast them like a hot dogs burned to a charred ruination over a fire.
Something tells me that Tony the Turd no longer talks about wieners in Scare-mageddon.
did anyone experience a disassociation announcement during the public meeting instead during the service meeting?.
in my case it was announced the next day that we submitted our letter and this was on sunday instead of waiting for the service meeting on thursday..
Why even disassociate?
That's basically admitting that this organization is one that is to be respected and taken seriously, even to the point of deserving formal resignations whenever members decide to quit.

please excuse me for interrupting this adult conversation, but I opine that they should consider using sillhouettes of curvy sisters in future videos. that is all.
unbelievable paragraph in yesterday's watchtower was "encouraging" the sheep to not have kids.
most of their growth comes from the born ins and they are still on about not having kids?.
then it went on to "encourage" those that do have kids or grandkids not to spend to much time with them and instead to spend their time serving kingdom interests!.
Wait. Didn't they scale back the Need-Greater program due to lack of funds?
this was news to me, it's from a year and a half ago,.
from joe emerson at http://www.christianwitnesses.com.
bethelites told they weren’t doing enough, hadn’t reached their potential so about half of them walked out of the talk; efforts made to get names of those who walked out but didn’t get them all.
But it's true. Johnny the Bethelite called me from a Bethel storage closet to let me know. He had to hang up quickly because he had Rick Fearon on the other line, so I couldn't get more details. But I'm sure Rick Fearon will enlighten us all soon.
what do you guys think?.
are they only some uber religious zealots or do they pursue hidden agendas beyond religiosity?.
Frederick Franz was the architect of all the theocratic drivel that carried the Watchtower into the 21st century. But now, all they have is Splaining Splane and a brain dead writing department (or should I say the Copy & Paste Dept).
i was speaking to my mom the other day.
she stays in the group to retain a relationship with the rest of our in family.
she told me that she heard from one of my brothers that the reason lett makes all those weird facial gestures has something to do with a stroke or aneurysm when he was a younger man.
please note that when you tell me of the corrections i need to make that this is a simplfied, minimalist presentation dealing with the society's appointment in 1919.. it is available as a powerpoint show: http://www.jwstudies.com/appointed_in_1919.ppsx .
and as a pdf: http://www.jwstudies.com/appointed_in_1919.pdf.
doug.
Was it 1918 or 1919... Did they pass or fail Jesus' inspection?
sorry i thought it was a new morning worship video but it is 6 months old and has already been discussed on here.. it is presented by gb helper k flodin and about this generation.
the delusion and hypocrisy runs deep.. he reminds the cult members not to speculate because they aren't supposed to know the day or the hour.
then he proceeds to speculate that armageddon will occur before 2040.. https://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodprogramsevents/pub-jwbmw_201511_3_video.
Kenneth Flodin believes that Splaining Splane's explanation of the TWO (2) Overlapping Generations was "Masterful".
What an ass-kissing idiot.
No Kenneth... Unless you give each Gibbering Buddy member a gold Apple watch, you will not be the next GB member. So calm the fj<k down.
