It wasn't clear (to me) from your original post if you are still going out in service and not reporting or just not going out. I assumed just not reporting. I know it used to drive the elders crazy when they knew I had gone out (they worked with me) but I didn't turn in a Field Service report.

Refusing to Report time in field ministry
by Whynot inwhat do you think would happen if i verbally refuse to report my time?
it's been several months since i turned in my time and i think the elder got tired of asking me lol.
frankly, i think it's stupid that jws are required to do this.

Just send in a report with some reasonable made-up time if that gives you some room to breath. I got busted for that a few times while I was still in.

W5 Investigation
by Christian Gutierrez inhey guys!
i just want you guys to know that today is a really great day.
there are so many jehovah's witnesses that saw this documentary and were disgusted by watchtowers policy.

Loved the report. I have decided that if I get invited to the memorial this year, I would agree on one condition - that she agrees to watch this entire report with me.

Memorial.. To go or not to go
by Emily1987 inso, as some of you will know myself and my husband are in the process of fading.
haven't been to a meeting since beginning of 2017. .
we weren't planning on going to the memorial, but last week my mother broke down and said that we have to go to the memorial even if it's the only meeting i go to this year.

Didn't go last year and got blasted. A couple of weeks ago, she apologized for the the things she said. I did not get an invite so far this year.

Great advice given. You might need to practice this a bit. Stand in front of a mirror and repeat the following phrase: Thanks but no thanks. I'll give you a call when we think that might be useful.

Do you have any animals (dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, etc)? No matter how bad I am feeling, they always manage to lift my mood up a notch or two. Walking in the forest also seems to do the trick. Hang in there. -

@carla: ok, my bad. It is good that you agree people should be able to access some books at the public library that you would not allow in your personal library.
What if one of your (perhaps hypothectical teenage) children came home from the library with a copy of 'Mein Kampf' having heard about it in history class. Would you allow him/her to read it? Would you want to discuss what they thought about it?
What if they wanted to read the Koran? Would you allow it? What if they wanted to read the 'bible'?

Sorry carla, I don't get your approach to 'Mein Kampf'. Are you suggesting that it should not be available to read? While I might not agree with the conclusions of the author, I would at least appreciate the freedom to read it for myself and draw my own conclusions. What about the Koran?

Registering with JW.org
by mann377 inso the wife was sick and stayed home from the meeting.
she tuned in through the phone so she could listen.
she had the phone on speaker and therefore i could overhear what was said.

Thanks for the heads-up. I will be checking accounts my wife has cc access to for this type of charge. I wonder if they will try to make it look inoculous or it will be something obvious ?

I don't think my wife is even going to ask me to go this year. She recently apologized for her remarks/screed last year when I said I wasn't going.
