that's gonna be the confirmation about no counting time for publishers, nothing still in their site.
.
Bizarre that only publishers don't have to count hours, rv's or placements. The high society status of pioneers will go up even more and they will feel more self righteous about not socializing with publishers. Not sure why titles and reports are necessary at all - Can't imagine Jesus promoting a ladder climbing career for his followers, and aren't we supposed to not let the right hand know what the left hand is doing?
On the plus side, this is the first time I can't wait for the new broadcast
am i being mean, thinking that travelling overseers should get a part-time job like paul did, in order to not be a burden to the congregation?
i wouldn't put my hand up when we were asked to raise it if we were happy to give £50 from congregation funds to the c.o.
so that he could take his wife out for a meal.
Thanks folks. I agree C.O.'s have a hectic schedule. I also agree they are unnecessary - but then I don't agree with "titles" either. Inflates the ego.

jesus never demanded "subsidies" from the government to share truth.
wtbt$ leaders love the god of their bellies/selfishdesires - having others provide communes for them in opposition to christ's direction.. .
"The love of money is the root of all evil"....... - So why keep asking for more?
"Materialism is from the devil" - Why build a film studio?
- but what do I know?

18 you may choose to get married.
the qualities and skills that we have discussed will help you to become a capable wife.
I should say separations and divorce happen because there is enough stress paying bills and in the workplace without spiritual targets also controlling couples. No time left to breathe, really, nevermind romance and fun.
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.".

I think this change will make pioneers think even more of themselves. What a shame - I was really drowning in the love they have shown ME over the years :D
deceptive jw elders case#4c .
[the following is a little over 4 pages, but it is worth the read and it gets better as you get to the end.].
while i personally experienced several more acts where jw elders lied to me personally, the following is the most serious because it involved brother a. i mentioned him earlier where he was lied to by the jc and they used a confidential file against him that they developed over ten years a file he was never allowed to see or defend himself against.. sometime between january 1993, the jw elders on the jc were in the final stages of their meeting with brother a. this was before his first appeal.

"the governing body of jehovah’s witnesses are like the pope is to the catholic church.
they too claim to be god’s mouthpiece or the voice of jesus.
they also demand unquestioning obedience for their members salvation.
slander whistleblowers as the troublemaker until they get suicidal and leave the congregation
hi all.. i've posted this in humour given that most of jw doctrine changes and flip flops are just so.. as stated, if there is now to be a 'last minute redemption'.what happens to the aforementioned folk?.
cannot wait for a explane-ation.
am i the only one giggling at this??
take every new or revised teaching with a pinch of salt. let's just wait and see. plus i am sure that many have been unfairly disfellowshipped by imperfect men who have their own agendas - God is merciful
i haven't posted on here for years.
i also don't frequent this forum like i used to.. i have posted my story before, like 8 years ago.
i have been a baptized witness for the last 30+ years, but have not attended meetings in the last 15 years.
i hope you are feeling well and strong after your time in hospital. i am sure your family love you very much, and dont have an issue seeing as you have not attended meetings for many years. i, personally, do not feel comfortable even with the thought of transplants, but many JWs look to them for survival.
