i hear rumbling about the rank and file not having the same zeal they had when new.. lets see: door to door at the time least likely to find someone.
waste of a whole morning.
isolated.
Edit to local needs. One of the few that wasnt taken over by mother
The very few times I have asked anyone about the "local needs" parts these days I get the same damn answer. "We got to see a WONDERFUL video from Jay Double You Broadcasting about ____________ (fill in the blank with whatever BS subject some lazy-ass elder chose). So happified that I don't have to sit through that garbage anymore!
you can’t throw a snowball at a person as kids often do.
you can’t throw it in a park, at a building, anywhere.
comments please.
Physical hurts, unless serious, usually heal with little or no long lasting effects. Emotional wounds last forever. I think we need laws against ever raising our voices, even when angry. And of course we must ban ever giving a "dirty look" at anyone, as it may hurt their feelings. The more laws we can make dictating how people must act so we never get hurt in any manner is a wonderful idea. (End sarcasm)
Really I have had a belly full of the nanny state idiots that want to micro-manage every last detail of what should be our private lives. Too damned much like WT for my taste.

After the money I had to forego from what should have been MY inheritance that WT got, without one damned word of thanks, I will give them only one thing, the middle finger every chance I get.

Poor guy, being persecuted by the Debbils world. At least that is how WT will spin the story. Maybe they can use some of the millions they get from old people's death bequests and help that scammer out? Naw, like has already been said, $$$$$ only go one way...to WT, the thankless b--tards.
the phrase “pray now, pay later” appeared in a headline of the philadelphia “inquirer” in reporting on a church experiment due to go into effect shortly.
a group of ten u.s. religions, including some major lutheran, episcopal, methodist and baptist denominations, have decided to try church collections by credit card.w75 11/1 p. 651 - the watchtower—1975.
They call good what they once condamned as bad:
NOVEMBER 2 5–DECEMBER 1
Jehovah Loves a Cheerful Giver
At 2 Corinthians 9:7, we are told: “Let each one do just as he has resolved in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” Today we have convenient options to make online donations to support the work of Jehovah’s Witnesses, both locally and worldwide.
How can we access the donation information page to find the
donation options that are available in our country?
How have some benefited from making donations electronically?
What are some donation methods?
What can we do if we do not understand how to use these new
electronic tools?
Of course the VERY BEST alternative is the one I use...NEVER GIVE THESE GREEDY BASTARDS A CENT!
i saw on another forum a post somebody made about the melbourne assembly.
it seems the religion is still knocking full time jobs/careers and saving for retirement.. you would think at this point in time - after thousands of bethelites were sent home; many thousands of rank & file jws are at or near retirement age with no preparation - that the religion would change its tune, but no.
they are still stubbornly sticking to their guns on this issue.. i’m sorry for any young jws who listen to this.. i’m just glad i never followed their advice and certainly would not want to be in any congregation surrounded by these desperate people!.

According to WT the ONLY reason anyone gets an education over the barest minimum required to get a lifetime part time job asking, "Y'want fries wit' dat?" is so they can make A LOT OF MONEY and become rich. And the only reason someone wants money is to BE FAMOUS and have prestige in the world.
Sorry b--tards are sure as Hell quick to beg money and free labor from those (we sinners) who have an education or some added finances for a rainy day.
here's a new article that came out:.
do jehovah’s witnesses baptize infants?no.
the bible does not endorse infant baptism.
As children grow, they may in time choose to be baptized. However, to do so, they must understand the commitment they are making.
So why does the WT discourage teen marriage? Surely if a child is old enough to make a commitment to a church that can never be nullified except under threat of losing ones family and friends they must be old enough to marry!
the organization stresses to elders to be careful with members of the opposite sex.
never be alone with a sister whether it be in field service or paying a visit by means of a shepherding call.
do you know of any elders that flirted or were overly “touchy” with females?
To this day I will never understand how this ugly elder could’ve ever bedded anyone else other than his beautiful wife.
Many years ago my ex-wife happened to pass me in the grocery store with her new fellow. He could fit your elder description to a tee. She had the lack of intelligence to ask me, "So, what do you think about "Joe"?" I told her, "He must be hung like a horse. There is nothing else that any woman would find attractive!" HA!
blondie’s food for thought, 11/03/2019 wt study article, jah values humble servants, september 2019. https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-september-2019/jehovah-values-his-humble-servants/.
opening comments/food for thought.
i first asked myself, why does the wts sometimes use the word “servant” then “slave”?
I found in every congregation, that the really humble people were those who did not judge others and whether they had value to their god or to the congregation.
I have seen that to be the case also. and usually those people are the quite elderly, and/or physically or financially limited. When my mother developed dementia she was routinely ridiculed and ignored. My father was completely cut-off from the congregation in his final years of life. I have ZERO USE for those hypocrite pieces of s--t! But they all sure had a lot of use for my parents when they could leech of them financially and take up their time with nonsense B.S.

hurricane dorian, one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the atlantic ocean, made landfall as a category 5 storm on great abaco island in the northern bahamas on sunday morning, september 1, 2019. dorian is especially dangerous due to its slow movement, high wind speeds, and heavy rains.
The branch recommended that all the brothers relocate to...sheltered areas.
And sadly there were probably "good" Dubyas that waited for official word from "mother" before doing what any sane intelligent independent person would normally do.
