  Did you loathe going in field service, if so why?

  by HappyGuy in

  i always felt like i was not a "spiritual" person because i loathed going in field service.

  i'm not even sure why i loathed it.

  i am very outgoing and can talk to anyone, anytime, about anything.

  Best times we're doing "still" not at homes, breaks, if somebody got on a study a nap waiting for them. Worst was too hot or cold and that damned tie. Add mood music to keep us older ones from hearing conversations.

  THE PROBLEM WITH THESE 2 NEW GB MEMBERS APPOINTMENTS

  these new appointments are troubling, to say the least, especially considering the factors surrounding their selection.

  these appointments raise key concerns about leadership, experience, and what is happening behind the scenes at the organization's headquarters.

  So far as I know the one-week halls are where travel is long. One I knew about (Wyoming) had 100 miles so everything was Sunday

  Zoom here has 25 to 40 cameras with only 2 or 3 pictures shown. Many elderly, sick, single sisters in rough neighborhoods.

  What made you look behind the jw curtain?

  by Touchofgrey in

  i was listening to a lunchtime call in radio show about jws and the personal experiences of being disfellowshiped, and a former elder called in saying he was disfellowshiped for asking about jws and their involvement in the un in the 1990s ,and he just said look it up.. thinking that it was a made up lie ,so i looked it up and it was true even a letter confirming it from the un itself and that led me here and to jwfacts and further research into the history and teachings of jw and walked out the door about 5 years ago.

  Education demonization, 1995, politics in congregation, DF lack of consistency

  Sickness caused missing meetings so the Kingdomministry wasn't sent out. The only place to find one was apostate sights.

  The World Today

  by peacefulpete in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been meaning to share some recent experiences that defy the usual tropes about the 'world gone to hell' or 'people now days".. as some of you may remember i was seriously ill for a while and had to close my business and shop.

  now, as it seems i have beaten it, i put up a sign again advertising that in a limited way i'm back.. what amazes me is how many times over the past 2 years customers and even competition have written and called to express their concern and best wishes.

  just last week i had a personal visit of someone who i thought of as a rival, come in and shake my hand sincerely happy to see me up and around.

  1: sorry about wife. I'm facingctge same

  2: adversity actually brings out the better nature of most people. Mandated responses are half hearted and minimal

  Blondie

  There is a reason we only sang those songs at meeting. And off key.

  Remember the service group in the van with "mood" music interfering with conversation?

  There are still people who refuse to believe the flame song in the convention was taken from a rock band, especially when you show them the (obviously demonized) album cover.

  Where is Tony?

  by Athanasius in

  2. friends

  on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

  in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

  Homestead is legit. Every state probably has a version. On death the deed goes back to "mom".

  As for cars; take a normal 2006 cadillac in for trade on a honda and they will give you $500 to keep it.

  out of curiosity, i went to the jw website to see if they had posted anything about helene, it's damage, and what their relief plans may be, i any.

  i looked in the news and in video sections to see if there were any postings.

  i couldn't find anything.

  They always claim😉 to be the first in. I know local secular search rescue started from here (mtn west) 3 days ago.

  We will see Cajun navy, church groups, national guard arrive. Even Red Cross.
