so now whites are to blame for pollution.

lol these idiot libtards are pushing trump for the win every day.

so all whites are to blame if one factory owner is white but a black who runs a drug cartel whites are still to blame.

I can imagine you typing this with a white hood over your head.

I had hoped that people with thoughts such as yours would be extinct in the 21st century.

Breitbart News Network is a far-right syndicated American news, opinion and commentary website founded in mid-2007 by conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart, who conceived it as "the Huffington Post of the right."Wikipedia

so a bit biased and with agenda! Not the most reliable news source lol

Does anybody else still have an obsession about Saturday morning weather?

i am still enjoying the luxury of weekends to do whatever i want....but....out of habit i am still obsessed with looking at the weather for saturday mornings.

rain on a saturday morning was a very rare treat and we got the morning off, although as group leader, i still had to go to the group just in case somebody turned up.. does anybody else still watch the weekend forecast with interest?

(i am aware that this is probably a uk thing as we are obsessed with the weather ha ha).

I've loved the comments. It seems we all have awful memories of field service, especially on a weekend.

My particular bug bear was turning up at the group as service overseer on a really wet, windy and stormy saturday morning feeling absolutely sure nobody was going to turn up.

We would meet at 9:45am and after waiting for about 5 mins I would be just about to leave to go home when an old faithful sister would turn up after battling the elements to get there.

My heart would sink.

We would then have to go on all of her return visits that she had for decades and they would be scattered all round the territory. We could be out for 3 or 4 hours by the time she stopped and chatted with her calls (none of it was scriptural based....just dropping off the magazines and then talking about family and ill health etc).

I would end up being out for longer than I would if it was just a normal group effort.

Weekends are a real treat now and the novelty still hasn't worn off.

How Long Will YOU Identify As A Jehovah’s Witness?

some witnesses realize that they got into a religion and it turned out to be disastrous.

many decide they have to somehow get out.

some do it right away and others take longer.. where are you in your journey?

Exelder

It took me years to make my decision because I knew I was going to lose my family. It still breaks my heart to this day as I miss them very much (but I don't regret leaving).

Question? How Many Hours of Field Service Does it Take

by new boy in

currently, to create one new jehovah's witness convert?.

Exelder

I was guilty of bringing 8 people "into the truth" doing my pioneer days.

However, the vast number of people I knew had spent their whole life 'in the truth' and never even had a study never mind get somebody to baptism.

Only a very small amount actually convert. Most go through the charade of witnessing with no real effect. At best they manage to have a 'paper round' where they just go round on return visits chatting and delivering the lastest Wt and Awake etc.

Very wise words Max.

We are the lucky ones who have been able to leave and you are right; we should be supporting and encouraging each other. The JW's would love to see us turning on each other and it would confirm what they think about 'worldly people'.

Thank you :)
