  New MS - Looking for the "better" job

  by nochoice in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  long, long time lurker and great fan of the site - first time poster.

  i am not sure if i am truly a lurker since that implies i am apostate-curious.

  in fact, i have been mentally out completely for a long time, but still physically in like many of you.

  Hi,

  Here's my ranking:

  1. Magazine Servant. Plus: Easiest job. Minus: Stuck behind a counter so can't talk to others at meetings.
  2. Literature Servant. Plus: Easy job. Minus: Stock takes
  3. Territory Servant. Plus: Easy to manage. Software available. Minus: Nightmare when the CO comes. Need to keep maps up to date.
  4. TMS Assistant. Plus: work is during meeting times. minus: You may have to fix it when people don't turn up/can't do their talks.
  5. Accounts Servant. Plus: Everyone says it's hard (it isn't). You can siphon off money! Minus. You need to be disciplined to make it easy.
  6. Sound Servant. Plus: You get to beep people off when their talks go over time. Minus: You really don't get to hear any of the meeting at all.
  7. Hall Servant. Plus: You get to sit outside in the foyer when you want to. Minus: You are everybody's bitch.

  If you're looking for a super easy ride, be an assistant to one of the MS's, eg, write the Mics schedule for the sound servant. Be a nominated 'counter' for the Accounts servant, be the backup Territory servant for when he's on holiday etc.

  Request a Free Bible Study

  by Darth Rutherford in

  2. friends

  i couldn't help but think... what if we all start requesting free bible studies?

  except, of course, send them on wild goose chases?

  send them on bogus trips around the territory?.

  It would become a happifying statistic:

  "Only one week after releasing the new website we saw an increase in those requesting a Bible study..."

  Why Is My Sister Accusing Me Of Apostasy? (new guy here)

  by HelpMeBelieve in

  hello, maybe i am gambling by posting a thread here at your website.

  i don't know what an apostate really is and why someone is removed from the watchtower for this sin.. .

  i have a sister in visalia california who is telling all my brothers and sisters "he is an apostate, our schizophrenic brother said so!".

  Wait until December then turn up where she is celebrating xmas with a camcorder. Also have a hidden audio recorder running.

  When you have your evidence present it to her elders and tell them you will put it on youtube and direct the local cong to it on the internet.

  Record this conversation with the elders too, with a hidden audio recorder.

  I think you will then be in a stronger position to have your side heard sympathetically.

  Dont expect to have a good relationship with your sister after this, but be happy you stood up for yourself.

  The Decline of Elders and Ministerial Servants

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i seem to remember somebody saying that since the 90's the number of elders has declined from 90000 to 60000. does anybody have any hard figures regarding this?.

  the organization is desperate for "qualified" men.

  but their standards are much too high, especially the monthly field service hour requirements tagged on to endless meetings and congregational busywork.

  My hall hasnt had an elder appointed for 16 years.

  Lots of MS's though.

  In that time we'v lost 3 elders to old age and most are now in their 70's, with others in their 60's or 80's.

  One is in his 40's and has been appointed 20 years.

  Jehovah's Witness DC in Buckingham, Pa and the societies user friendly Hotel Arrangement

  by DaCheech in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this past sunday, i was browsing in the kingdom hall bulletin board.. i noticed that the list of "approved" hotels for the dc was up there.. noticed that in the assembly to take place in pennsylvania, only 2 hotels were in pennsylvania................ #3 on --> were in nj.

  so, i get on my smart phone and gps a route from hotel #3 in princeton, nj to buckingham, pa.. my little gadget tells me that there is 27.9 miles of driving and 46 minutes of traffic.................... do these sheeples have the stupidity of driving this far to an "approved" hotel?.

  are they blinded enough to not look for the 300 or more hotels in the county?.

  (Acts 28:15) And from there the brothers, when they heard the news about us, came to meet us as far as the Marketplace of Ap′pi·us and Three Taverns and, upon catching sight of them, Paul thanked God and took courage.

  This place gets a good write up on TripAdvisor

  I saw her rip into someone once and it was pretty aggressive, but after reading more posts, mrs jones was one of the reasons i registered here.

  Thanks mrs Jones!!

  righty, i've just been talking to kathleen (candace's mum) and the good news is that the judge has awarded millions in punitive damages!.

  read and share the article here - http://www.jehovahswitnessblog.com/jw-lawsuits/candace-conti-beats-the-watchtower-society/.

  what a victory for the conti's and for all ex-jehovah's witnesses everywhere!.

  Wonder what the "Jehovah will protect the WT as always" brigade will say about this?

  Of course, "persecution".

  WT now shares company with the Catholic Church, maybe the Catholics are also being 'persecuted', but that raises some uncomfortable lines of reasoning.
