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 watchtower—study edition | december 2023. study article 52. young sisters—become mature christian women.
18 you may choose to get married.
the qualities and skills that we have discussed will help you to become a capable wife.
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!

atlantis!
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."
an announcement to all congregations those with legal experience please come and work for free to cover up child abusers.. i mean what else would it be for?.
the cheek of it.. so the direction was always don’t go for advanced education and careers but now they are looking for such ones to give if their time and education for free?.
practice saying ‘No’ in front of a mirror.
The most intelligent man I ever knew (my father) also made the same suggestion. Start with saying "Ehn" and finish with "Oh". Do that over and over until the two blend into just one word, "NO".
That is one of the most liberating words ones can tell JW's.

an elder who is a good reader'
If they follow this direction there will be congregations where the letter will not be read!
so 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”?
Counting time meant that the goal was putting in the time, not actually accomplishing anything.
Agreed. I remember back in the day getting frustrated with the "star" pioneers and telling them MY time was valuable and I wanted to make my time count, not just count my time.
Now my time counts for more than free slave labor to WT.
this is going to break the hearts of a lot of uber-jw's!
reddit has now removed the video link of samuel herd telling jw's they will no longer have to report time or placements - just tick a box which says "active.".

After all, the unspoken 10 hour requirement is a major qualification for those positions, and now, just about anybody would qualify, as long as they know how to wash windows.
Don't forget, they have to still have a penis, and be baptized.

For some time now I have heard that the GB have been using the term personal ministry when speaking about field serve-us.
If is your personal ministry then you are accountable only to god, not some organization. i said as much to a PIMI woman I know who was asking if I had heard the news. I got the "squint eye" and she asked who I've been talking to. HA!

grandpa!.
Thanks for the files.
Big belly laugh for this one:
Involving Younger Ones in Maintaining and Cleaning the Kingdom Hall. Even if you do not feel qualified, the brothers may be able to train you and your children together.
Good lord, how does someone reach adulthood and NOT know how to clean a toilet or dust a countertop? I know JW's are pretty ignorant, but that tops all!
i would love to hear from anyone who may have encountered the following the traveling overseers:.
david wesley - an incredibly kind and humble man.
just the most down-to-earth co you'll ever find.
He was a nice guy but they ground him down and he left the CO work
That sounds like the M.O. employed against every single one of the very few decent men I knew who were C.O.'s. Either grind them down and push them out or they cave in order to stay in.
A few that I remember as being decent were W. Bjornson (last thing in and first thing out of the trunk of his car was a saddle.) Gary Breaux back in the 70"s. Enjoyed Budweiser beer, pizza, and Cajun music. Don't know what happened to change him. The guy on the videos now ain't the guy I knew then!
Prouton, Misterfeld, Smelzer, Harfman, Greene, and so many more were total assholes! they didn't give two s--ts for anyone that didn't have a title.
