if you were born in, do you count from the year of your birth, when you gave your first presentation at the door, (i was five),.
when you became an unbaptized publisher, (i was about 12), or when you dedicated your life to god,(org) and took the plunge?
what could you have done with all of this time?
The time taken from doing something else.
Typical Saturday. Meet, pray, visit, stop to get someone's forgotten bag, buy gas, wait for the leader to show up, knock on an unoccupied door, go to break, then hopefully 2 others will go on a long winded RV while I nap
did you ever had a over zealous brother/sister with tales that where even told from the platform on how gee-hovah did things for this person at nausea.
just made you sick.
an insult to one's intelligence.
Scoff if you will. The lord blessed me because I sent a hundred dollar bill to a TV preacher. So there!

He got me a used car for a price equal to a brand new one same model. But no depreciation.
A lot of marginal employees get the axe

upsetting the locals again ..
Over reaction. I get all sorts of junk mail and phone calls. Seldom answer phone for unknown numbers. They know my name, wife, children, cat, dog, cars, health problems, age, politics, vacations. It is all public records and sold information.
As for obscure return names and addresses that is supposedly to protect sisters from perverts. The rest of us do it because we already know the reaction and are ducking responsibility.
here is what a co said at the elders and ms meeting.
it goes to show that no matter how hard the governing body tries to instill fear of apostates, it's just not working on the young crowd of jws.. it's a new generations of born in jws--------and they don't buy this shit anymore.
it's really over for the watchtower.
The flip flop doctrines, overlapping, anti education and job, nepotism, dating/ marriage rules. You don't have to research
i was at a sunday meeting an the speak was going on and on how the org does good for people in public.
example is how at new york the brothers handed out bottles of water.
i know firsthand that they didn't but locked their doors.
Water 20 feet over Everest.
they wear jewelry like they are some don from the cosa nostra.
watches and rings like some cheap pimp.
hey they are cheap pimps.
They may be gifts. I note that they were pushing apple, seem to have a cushy relationship with IBM. We don't know about the old days with paper and ink companies; nor MAN.
the pinkie rings seem to be GB only, like a special club for " made men".
Since they moved the ring and seem to conceal the watch I think they are sensitive to comments here. 😃 hi guys
i knew a few witnesses who were very proud of the fact that their kids were homeschooled.
years ago, i would raise my eyebrows wondering why these families couldn’t simply integrate their kids with other “worldly” kids.
at this point in time, with so many theories being pushed on kids and their parents, i can see why parents, if they are qualified, could instruct their kids themselves.
PS. I advocate teaching ABOUT things. Sex education, abstinence not how to. Gun safety. and the biggies for JWs: flag salute and the pledge. Everyone should be able to recite and explain the origin. Then make up their mind on participation.

I knew of a 12 year old who could not read a scripture at the door. Home schooled. Others excelled and could do the work in 2 or 3 hours.
My state has standards and testing and followup and actual school districts set up; complete with online discussions and field trips where everyone met. But some kids are just ditching.
i know this recent video has been talked about already but i just watched it and here are a few things that got me annoyed as usual:.
splane says that if a bible student says he saw some negative information from apostates and asks us to explain it, we shouldn't look at it or address anything specifically, but instead we should tell them to go to meetings and hear what we have to say about ourselves and also tell them to befriend people at the hall.
for any person with integrity and/or intelligence, this is not a satisfactory answer.
The scripture in question says, "Does not the ear test out words as the tongue tastes food?"
Or in my case I refuse to eat my broccoli. No idea how it tastes.
As for just attending meetings ; the model pretend skits are NOT what you really observe
