Is the Dad now trying to wake his son up because he has just put 2 + 2 together and they do not add up to JW's = The "True" Religion?

I am curious to read what you write next.

You have a good flow.

I wanted her to have more children. I wanted her husband to be kinder. I wanted them to get divorced if they found they were not compatable .

I wanted them to have grandchildren, so she could give her ring to say the oldest grand daughter or maybe give her ring to her daughter in law, but there was no mention of her only son marrying.

I do not know how many JW's have tragic lives.

I can only guess.

WITNESSES CAN STOP REPORTING FIELD SERVICE!

by The Searcher in

the lawyers acting on behalf of the wtbts/g.b./'mother' during a paedophile case a couple of years ago, have stated on record that - .

a) "field ministry is not controlled or monitored by the elders, the congregation, or watchtower".

b) "an individual publisher's field ministry activity, including the time and manner it is carried out, is a personal matter between the publisher and his god.".

Hi BerryGerry... Yes. I was short on my hours . I was okay with my mag placements, and I had RV's, no Bible studies, I had placed no booklets??? ( He was really hung up about that) and maybe only 1 or 2 books. No subscriptions.

I realized, many years later, he did not like my family and was taking it out on me. He still crushed me. I was so proud of myself for all the hard work I had done and all the effort I had put into vacation pioneering. I mean it WAS the summertime and I WAS sacrificing great times with friends at the beach to go d2d as an unpaid volunteer.

I never really liked him before, but that "employee review... that had me coming up 'lacking'".... I really did not like him after that at all.

I wish I had had the nerve to stand up to him... I wish I knew that I should have left and never been a JW and had a real life...

TruJW .... Wow! You, in a few words, hit the nail right on the head!

----->>> All those decades, all those wasted years, and we were nothing more than "unpaid volunteers".

I realize now, I was never even religious, though I thought I was.

So I guess I, (we) were unpaid volunteer door to door salesmen for Watch Tower Publishing House . Nothing more. Nothing less.

Watchtower and Awake. 10¢ "No, we are not selling, we are 'placing' these magazines with our neighbors today. Here is your personal copies".

I am a normal person. I would have helped my neighbors, my friends, my country, out on my own, if that is what I desired.

I always had to put WT and other people's "desires" ahead of my own.

The first time I "vacation pioneered" I was 17 years old and had intended to get in all 75 hours. Life happens.

The COBE (new name now) dressed me down one side, then the other for I guess making him "look bad"?

I sat there complacently as he abused, and disrespected me and my fun month in service spending more time in 4 weeks, d2d, than I had ever spent in one month in my entire life.
