Remember Hour Quotas?

by blondie in

hour quotas timeline.

back in the old days long before 1952.

“after staying in our ‘home’ for two days we decided that if we were going to meet our quota of 140 hours for the month.

Still pretty much the unwritten rule from what I observed prior to, and what I've been told since getting off the hamster wheel. Not only can a JW never do enough, they can never contribute enough $$$$$.

when will the current preaching work end?

(remember, i am reporting not supporting wts teaching).

questions from readers august 2025 p. 31 (how many wts teaching have been clarified?

Second, it does away with the hard-line claim that you must be JW to be saved.

Perhaps in words for public consumption, but from what I have been told it is even more black and white that if one is not baptized as a JW, and then for all intents and purposes worships the governing body as if they were collectively god himself you are bound to be turned into "burnt hotdogs".

Why Bother?

by LostintheFog1999 in

we who actually look at wt history know that they just changed 1874 to 1914 without a fanfare.

setting up the potential for changing any dates to new dates because "holy spirit" told them to do so.. which makes me ask, why do we bother to watch what they do?

i mean, we don't care having escaped their greedy little claws.

FedUpJW

I bother because any little fact that I can sneak in to conversation that makes them squirm makes me happy.

Why do they want to kill all the White People?

by liam in

the hatred against whites is escalating to an unprecedented degree.

in south africa, they are calling for complete genocide of white people.

for some reason they are targeting all the white farmers.. i’m so glad trump noticed.

FedUpJW

As far as the situation in So. Africa, if it were up to me, all the White people should get out and leave the Blacks on their own.. Show them how to farm and walk away.

I agree 100% with this. Walk away, and see exactly how fast the entire country would turn into just one more third world ---- hole.

Is the Governing Body hunting down PIMOs? LEAKED survey for select congregations in Canada

by liam in

it seems like the organization is hunting down pimos.

maybe the mark o donnell lawsuit is just the beginning.. this leaked survey in canada is asking some very weird questions from select publishers.

all i can say is that this will help wake up some pimi straddling the fence.

FedUpJW

I believe the survey is someones idea of trolling others.

What did the WTS say the "inner rooms" to find safety

by blondie in

jw
friends

as recently as 2025, the wts has compared the "inner rooms" to the congregation as a place of safety.

do you remember this?

notice the "weasel words" the wts uses to lay the foundation for "adjustment" or "clarification" of their statements.

Paul’s exhortation: “Let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as [we] behold the day drawing near.”

Those were three things that WT hypocritically claims to do yet does not do that were building blocks for my leaving the WT. As I have commented in the past, my fathers words shortly before he died, "Jehovah's Witnesses have love on their lips, but NONE in their hearts!"

Bible Reading Schedule, Dumbed Down?

by Slidin Fast in

jw
friends

has any body noticed that the bible reading schedule has been reduced to one chapter per week.

does any one know if this is a policy change or something temporary?

at this rate the complete cycle will take 22 years plus..

FedUpJW

I can never decide if there really is some Master Plan, or if the GB has no clue where they are going.

There ain't no Master Plan, that's for sure.

1975 !

by Sea Breeze in

how many of you here remember 1975?

i hope the newer generations never forget.the true believers got shamed for it.

those who were hedging their bets, fared much better.

My mom racked up credit card debt expecting "people throwing their money in the street" and the destruction of the credit card companies at Armageddon.

I personally knew several families that did the same thing. I say "knew" because not only did they all to a person have to declare bankruptcy in 1976-1977, they grew old broke and living hand-to mouth, they've died! They sure saw the promise that WT made.

Changed View of Post Armageddon and Paradise Conditions ?

by HereIam60 in

when i first came into contact with jehovah's witnesses they were talking about god's kingdom bringing about a peaceful new world.

the scripture used being psalm 37:10,11 "just a little while longer and the wicked will be no more.you will look at where they were and they will not be there., but the meek will possess the earth and they will find exquisite delightin the abundance of peace..".

i took this to mean, then, that when jehovah intervened, at his appointed time, it would be instantly, invisibly, and painlessly.

David Splane said in a talk."... suppose you love the country, but you are assigned to live in a city?...Well you can learn to love the city!"

Someone needs to 'splane to that bone-head that the first city was built (according to their Bible) by Nimrod!
