  when i moved my family after leaving the jehoagies schmitnesses, i changed my phone number, and made sure it was unlisted.

  little did i know that i would soon be receiving a call out of the blue from a jw.. now, this was a woman that i had worked with at one time and we were pretty good friends, so a few years later, when she called, i was kind of glad to hear from her.

  the problem was, how did she get my phone number.

  A modest proposal: A national Do Not Call list

  by Skimmer in

  greetings to the readership:.

  there have been reports over time that each kingdom hall keeps a "do not call" list of addresses.

  these are addresses in the congregation's territory where, for one reason or another, the jws in the field service are advised not to make calls.

  If Kingdom halls closed their doors

  just a thought on how the zealous witness would overcome the situation?

  would they open homes for bible study?

  or take the wait and see what happens next way out.

  2. friends

  just curious many say that the org monitors dbs, but anybody have concrete proof of this??

  oh by the way at the recent ca dbs were mentioned from the platform!!!

  the thought was "some jws were visting jehovahs witness discusssion boards and trying to correspond with some"...might not be exactly what was said(not an actual quote)...they mentioned put a doubt in your mind and start questioning your beliefs!!!

  80's Apostasy.....

  2. friends

  i read somewhere (possibly from apocalpyse delayed) that during the 80's that a whole congregation da'd themselves from the borg and that when the borg tried to take control of the kh the borg representatives were actually charged with trespassing.

  anyone heard this story?

  anyone got any similar stories they heard or or seen?

  Another self introducton

  2. experiences

  greeting to all the readership:.

  i am a newcomer to this board, and as i have enjoyed reading the self-introductions of others, i'd thought i'd post one of my own.. in 1966 i was a nine year old boy and my parents where going through a messy divorce.

  i wound up spending some time with an aunt and uncle who had been jws for all of their adult lives, and they gave me a copy of the wtbts book _from paradise lost to paradise regained_.

  Speculation: destruction of service records

  by Skimmer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one result of the reorganization of october 2000 is that all the full time workers , now members of the "religious order of jehovah's witnesses", have to take a "legal vow of poverty" to remain in service.

  the speculation has been that this new requirement is due to recent legal claims in some european nations that the wtbts was liable for retiement, medical, and unemployment taxes/benefits.. ah, but what about all of the hours and hours of work done by full time representatives of the wtbts prior to the reorganization and the poverty vow?

  it seems to me that the obsessive record keeping of the wtbts is going to bite them in their behind should the service records be available via the legal discovery process as part of lawsuits for back wages and benefits by disgruntled workers.. has the wtbts destroyed the potentially incriminating service records?
