No money needed. remember the bible says if you don't work you won't eat, so you will be busting you a-- for some un-thankful elder building his lavish elder house in exchange for a crust of bread. Then he will come build your grass hut in exchange for a table full of food that can barely be held up by the table legs, and probably want your kids to fan him with palm leaves, while you feed him.

They play games with commonly understood definitions to deceive.
Exactly! Just like they claim not to believe in a Rapture, yet claim that all remaining anointed will be "called away" before Armageddon.
Rapture-no, called away-yes. Tithing-no, enforced "voluntary" giving-yes.

the message seems to be to give more than you have been giving
Exactly. I've mentioned before that my father died before I was able to complete moving all his financial accounts into joint accounts with me to protect them from having to be handed over to WTB&T$$$$. As a result they got nearly a seven figure payout when he died. All I got for doing what I legally had to do as executor was a letter asking it they were going to get MORE. greedy bastards!

Chapter 26
• Par. 14 pt. 2: Inserted a sentence stating that it is not appropriate for individuals to take the initiative to collect funds privately or to use social media to solicit funds to assist congregations affected by disasters.Never let it be said that WT promotes individual love or fellow feeling or compassion for others in their members!

Thought on “0 hours” reporting
by FFGhost inso everyone knows the “big news” of this past weekend, no more reporting of hours, placements, return visits, etc.
beginning november 1, jws just tick a box indicating whether they “shared in any form of the ministry during the month”.. so there was a brief comment by a redditor that seems like a brief joke “throwaway comment” but after thinking about it….why not?.
the idea is, what is “any form of the ministry”?

a few greedy elders will try to get money or things beforehand.
The same elder that made the suit comment to me was named executor of an elderly JW woman. When she died he accessed her home before any inventory of the estate could be made and carted off a whole trunk-load of valuable collectibles that were never seen again, and then he even bragged about it!

How often are the sick and infirm neglected. Is that a 'thing' among Witnesses?
Yes, yes it is. Near the end of her life my mother who was by that time suffering from advance dementia was openly ridiculed. My father who was still at that time an elder took the "for better or worse, in sickness or health" vow very seriously so he stayed with her at home taking care of her. Not one single person from their hall would stop by because as one of them told me, "It is so embarrassing to see how her mental health has declined."
After she died my father also developed dementia and was pretty well house bound. Again not one single person from the hall would come by to visit. One elder came to tell me that I should put him in a home, and that my dad had refused to let them take his suit to the cleaners. I told him well at least when he dies of loneliness he can be buried in a clean suit!
My sister and I and a DF'd relative were his only company or caregivers for the last months of his life. At least we met his request to die at home not in a facility among strangers.
I remember what he said in one of his more clear moments, "Jehovah's Witnesses have "love" on their lips, but NONE in their hearts!"

Thank you!
I notice the questions are pretty intrusive, none of your business type questions. And of course the all important, Do you believe in the governing body and obey them question.
Anyone wanting to give free labor to this bunch is even more crazy than the typical politician.

The husband ''corrects'' his wife just like a dog owner ''corrects'' his new puppy.
Many years ago a newly moved in to the congregation that I was in elder came to make a "shepherding" call on me. Scheduled for 7:00 P.M. He and another elder showed up finally about 7:30 P.M. and as we had never met he introduced himself with he words, " My name is ______ ________. I'm sorry we are late, but when I got home from work I found my wife had bought a new cook-book without my permission so I had to take time to chastise her." That was the way he treated everyone in the congregation.
I hated that sorry S.O.B. from then on!

Thank you.
For some odd reason I read the announcement as, "do more. . .Do More. . .DO MORE!" and "You are not kneeling deep enough to your earthly masters."
