I pledge allegiance to the blue square of the watchtower, and the society for which it stands, one organization in place of God, with liberty and justice for none.

Dumb 'experiences' you were told as a JW
by BettyHumpter inthis one stands out in my mind.
it was reported that 'a brother', unnamed of course, was out in field service and was set upon by a pack of vicious dogs.
he made it back to the car and was injured quite badly with his arms, hands and leg bleeding heavily.

The hobo whofound a tract along the tracks and came in. Or got hit in t h e head by a truth book. Part 2 is a priest taking a truth book away from a dub and throwing it.
There are lots of generic stories about obedient children following directions. These are identical when told by baptists, Presbyterians, Catholics, jews, muslims, athiests. Absolutely made up.
And the dear dad and mom thank you for: the witness stuff, joining military, college. I think these letters may be true because we grow a brain around age 25.

Who’s gonna mow your grass
by solomon inhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xixc6aqrozq.
what most jehovah’s witnesses don’t realize about their version of the new system is who’s gonna mow the grass?.
after the system is destroyed who’s gonna make that nail your pounding with a hammer?

Yes, we do have skills. But no way am I going to become a factory drone whilst some fatass sails around in the boat I built on the reservoir behind the dam my brother built.
I spent my time watching others benefit from my sweat.

Meeting attendance
by Benavidez ini was wondering what your guys' meeting attendance was like.
our meetings here is like 50/50 with zoom and in person.
the spanish has it a little "better" with it being like 30% zoom attendance with most attending in person.. i've heard of congregations in other states having attendance where most (even elders and ms) attend meeting only via zoom and even have their cameras off.

Since the reminder, 40% zoom, guessing. No way c to know actual hall numbers. Still only about 5 on camera. They are requiring masks contrary to directions, which doesn't help. Boring meetings, pushy elders, can't see to drive at night dont help their cause.
Door work is going right back to the seperate groups which didn't work well 3 years ago. No word on masks yet

Starting September 01, 2022, the Angels will help in the ministry work
by RULES & REGULATIONS in2022 governing body update # 6. what exciting news david splane has for all jehovah's witnesses ( who for the last three years were spared the house-to-house preaching work ) '' that we'll return to the ministry september 01, 2022. just in time for our world wide campaign to start bible studies.
and, i'm sure the angels are excited too, because it will give them opportunities to help us with our ministry.''.
not only will the witnesses be rusty in their return to the field ministry, the angels in heaven have been sitting idle while the pandemic stopped the house-to-house ministry.

If I preach Aug 31 will I get struck by lightning? Apparently(tm) angels use the Gregorian calendar and t h e International date line.

Did becoming a JW influence you to give up something you enjoyed ?
by smiddy3 inwhen i was a teenager a younger fellow workmate was involved in the sport of judo.i got interested and went along to a number of sessions and took to it like a sponge to water ,and as a sport i was happy participating in.. not that much longer another workmate was getting re-activated in the religion of jw`s.
which i had never heard o before and then got interested in that .. conflict : was judo a sport that was compatible with j.w beliefs?
sadly i decided it was not and stopped any further involvement.. to this day i resent that decision i made back then .and i`m 82 years old now.. it was a sport i was comfortable doing and i enjoyed it.and i gave it up because of the religion .who knows what i may have achieved had i continued with it.

Where to s t art?! Bicycle racing, car racing, motorcycles, sex, college, character building military service, school dances, . If course not having a " well paying" job prevented it too.
I still have an aversion to aluminum, but never realized sleeping on my stomach and pointing east ( cardinal, not magnetic) is why I feel bad.

They also beat the dressing up for Jehovah. Interview was an older person who has never had health problems and could hardly wait to get back. Also a true believer in " soon".
Brother SKE ( hardnose) had part on door to door. " you will and follow direction" more rules coming later.

That 8.50 pays car, insurance, health insurance, etc. for co's; self jnsurance on halls (but if something happens a donation box goes in). There is another resolution to send a regular donation from congregation funds.
