  Field service national average - what do you think it is now?

  by BourneIdentity in

  2. experiences

  it’s always been 10 hours when door to door was active.

  i’m curious of how it’s changed with only letter writing and phone witnessing approved.. i’m curious if they are able to do it for 3 hours like a typical door to door morning.

  i would be surprised.

  Are they going to hold people by their feet and shake them?

  Yep, sounds about right to me.

  Governments are starting to remove restrictions...when this happens the JWS will rejoin and the Fear, Obligation and Guilt and will be reinserted.

  Actually they have gone all in with the instructions from The Branch (said with echo and heavy reverb) to continue remaining in their homes, avoid any social contact with anyone not living with them in their own homes, only go out for bare essentials and then as few times as possible, instructions on how to wash your hands, and generally treating the "sheep" as if they were as stupid as literal sheep.

  They still use the F.O.G. though to try to force the R&F to OBEY secular guidelines that The Branch has made into orders from Gee-HO'-Vuh, and that the JDubya's do not follow the worlds lead in taking advantage of eased restrictions.

  They start off with the "It is up to each family head" BS, then proceed to make guidelines into rules that if you break them you are not obeying Gee-HO'-Vuh. I just give them a base-ball bat look and walk away.

  Repercussions for sexual immorality

  by Veryconflicted in

  hello, i was hoping to get some clarification about how people are disciplined for immorality as a jw.

  i became involved with a co-worker a few years ago, she was fairly aggressive and she initiated a physical relationship very quickly.

  at the time i did not know she was married and a jw.

  Midweek Meeting looooooooong prayers.

  by Davros in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one thing that aggravates me is long concluding prayers, especially at the midweek meeting.

  you work all day, rush home, grab a quick bite, dress up in meeting clothes.

  then, go to the meeting.

  Could Boris "save the NHS & lives" by BANNING Covid 19?

  by BoogerMan in

  1. social
  2. current

  obviously not, but he could do so by banning an even greater killer - tobacco.

  smoking has been identified as the single greatest cause of preventable illness and premature death in all 4 nations of the u.k. .

  annually, in scotland approximately 10,000 die, in wales, 5000, and in n.i.

  I think there’s an argument for actually encouraging smoking.
  

  I agree, as a matter of fact I think that smoking should be compulsory. And a minimum amount of tobacco used per day should be imposed. The benefits of population control outweighs any drawbacks.

  Weekly Meeting Importance Being Reduced - Your Thoughts?

  by JWTom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am pimo, but now have 40+ years of being a jw as i was raised in a 3rd generation family of witnesses and continue to fake my way through things - fading as i can.. for the vast majority of my time as a jw, the meetings were the central focus for all jws to get teaching, association, information and so on.

  nothing was more important than being at the meetings!

  over the last 20 years starting with the elimination of the weekly book study in homes and continuing down to today - my opinion is that the value/purpose of the weekly meetings continues to be diluted or minimized.

  I think they've got the JWs afraid of their shadow with COVID to go beyond their back door.

  Oh heck yeah. I am still being called every day to "check how you are doing". And when I say I am doing fine I was at the grocer to pick up a few items, or I went to the hardware store for some needed household items; and no, I saw no one else wearing masks and face shields, Tyvek clothes and disposable gloves and I was not either then I get the lecture every single call about how I must listen and obey "The Branch" because they are giving us Gee-HO'-Vuh's instruction for the COVID-19.
