Good for her. She should have whooped his azz. Bunch of religious bullies. I wonder where his pride is right now considering their attitudes towards women and him just catching the beats by a woman? You know his peers are laughing at him whether behind his back or to his face.

I think thats awesome that he has such a fascination. I'm encroaching upon my mid thirties and still get the creeps when I come across big spiders and thousand leggers. I wish I had that little guy's balls. I wish at his age I would have developed a fascination with something unique like bugs. In my thirties and still dont have a hobby worth discussing. As a born in JW I never got the chance. Let that kid enjoy what he likes. In due time he may forget all about or maybe its a sighn of great things in his future related to science and nature.

Awake! - In its edition of December 8, 1968, on p. 21 and 22:"Although thousands of corneal transplants are performed each year ... There are those, such as Jehovah's Christian witnesses, considering all transplants between humans as cannibalism ....
Knew they used to equate transplants with cannibalism, but never even remotely considered corneal transplants falling under that same umbrella. SMH @ God's chosen organization and the crazy things they've printed throughout the years.

LOL Thats a good point. Then again Paul's writings trump Jesus' words and example now so that might not change.

Full time ministry Joy--or Lack Thereof
by WTWizard ini can remember all the while i was in the cancer that they would trump up the value of pious-sneering.
one of those was the "joy" of serving jehovah full time.
they would always have these fantastic stories about how they had obstacles that they foolhardily disregarded, or that they got all these people into the cancer.. this is full of rubbish.

I'll never understand the logic behind pioneering considering they're not accomplishing anything, and that's in harmony with 2 Timothy 4:5. These territories, at least where I'm at, are 99% apathetic to JWs. That said, if an elderly publisher in a high rise is given the ok to turn in 15 minutes as her field service time for the month, is it really any different from the regular pioneer putting in 70 hours a month? They both accomplish the same exact thing..........that.........being.........nothing. So what's the point? Why encourage it? I can only imagine they encourage it because it's busybody work. So how can the ministry be a joy if there's no point to it? We knock on doors offereing literature that we don't even find interesting. The householders either ignore you, politely tell you they're not interested, or belligerently tell you to the lost. (my favorte btw, at least it livens things up and gives me something to laugh about later!) Lately I've noticed that the only people who show any interest are ones with possible mental problems. That said, how is 70 hours of all that nonsense joyful? I ain't never been happy to go out in field service, and the only contenment I find after it's over is the very fact that it's over at least until next weekend. I'd rather die than do 70 hours of that crap a month.
To illustrate the lack of joy in field service, consider this. Our Service Overseer is pushing the field service group overseers to be more active on Sundays. It used to be that there was a list with elders and ministerial servants, and each Sunday one of them would be responsible for taking the group out. Well that changed last year sometime, and now it falls on the group overseer's shoulders. What ended up happening was none of the group overseers would take the group out on Sunday. This new arrangement of letting the group overseers handle it was essentially a loophole destined to give people a day off on a Sunday. Most of the publishers don't want to go out on Saturday, let alone Sunday. So why push for more Sunday service? You're not accomplishing jack shit when doing field service on a Sunday, so why bother? They even had a KM article last year which tried a different method of guilt tripping ones to go out on Sundays. That being old school JWs fought for our rights to go out on Sundays, so we should show our appreciation and be out on Sundays. Again I ask the question, what's the point? They were jailed for their own brash ignorance.
It's one thing if you can actually help people, give some comfort, assist people practically, or even study the Bible with people who are unfamilair with what's in it, but that's not what's happening. We're peddling literature, and being guilt tripped into continuing to do so despite common sense yelling at you that it's all pointless.

by AndersonsInfo inseptember 17, 2012the innocence of americansposted by jelani cobb .

not long after, a group of bystanders began jeering chaplinsky for his beliefs.

bttt for those like me who are just now waking up, even if we're already behind a monitor in a cubicle.
Something that stands out to me is, how this article presented what happened during those tumultuous years, and how the WT has presented this bit of history in their own literature, with the latter being a gross example of distorted and self serving revisionism. I used to have a subscription to the New Yorker, excellant magazine and it was the gateway to other mags like Harpers and The Atlantic. I tend to favor those magazines over most news sources as they tend to be more in depth and honest in scope. I'd especially trust the word of such magazines over anything the WT has ever printed.

Family Worship
by XBEHERE inanyone else notice how the org is starting to equate family worship evening with an actual meeting.
i do realize that was probably always their intention but lately i have noticed them grouping it with "...ministry, attendance at meetings...family worship..".
they have the nerve to do that when one of the clearly stated reasons that they gave for disbanding the bookstudy was "increasing fuel costs" also spending an hour or more in some areas to travel to that hour long meeting essentially wasting time.

I would just hazard a guess that fewer than 10% of JW families actually do this Family Worship night.
This past Saturday a couple brothers including one with a family invited me to dinner at a resteraunt tomorrow night. I almost brought up the Family Worship night but decided to disregard it.

Are they f'king serious?? They have the nerve to do that when one of the clearly stated reasons that they gave for disbanding the Bookstudy was "increasing fuel costs" also spending an hour or more in some areas to travel to that hour long meeting essentially wasting time.
The last jackass of a CO we had told us the dissolvement of the book study arrangement had nothing to do with meeting attendance, or gas prices, but rather the GB saw the need to reinforce the spirtuality of families. He stated that Satan realizes that a strong congregation is the result of spiritually strong family units.
What's next taking attendance from each household to make sure you attend?
COs are putting the screws on elder bodies to "encourage" families to do so through shepharding visits. It used to be during a shepharding call, the two brothers would encourage a person to either develope or increase their personal study, now they're encouraging Family Worship Night during visits.
