Pete Zahut,
Thank you. Although on personal examination, I'll decline to accept all the information it presents.
enough rhetoric for now, here is my promised first part to my series.. for the benefit of lurkers, i'm using mainly wt publications as my research to show this information isn't 'apostate'.
part 1: association with russell and the bible students.
i want to ask an honest question.

hello to all pomos, pimos and lurkers!
i would firstly like to introduce myself, as i should have done in my initial post.
i will remain anonymous for this website.
Old Navy,
That was a well worded comment. You're jumping to a conclusion that I was initially passing judgment and old habits die hard? You're hugely mistaken.
Dear god, people do tend to read to much into things don't they?
for the december monthly broadcast instead of jws from around the world waving to you and items of how to shun people we will have to make do with repeats of of old gilead videos that have been on the jw website for a good while.
When it crumbles we won't have much to talk about. Too bad too bad... edit: we will, but only about its demise. No need to downvote...
is it still watchtower dogma that the seven trumpets of revelation refer to seven conventions in the 1920s?
would many jws these days even be aware of this?
i find it so amusing that seven little conventions in the distant past, almost a century ago, could be equated with such an iconic biblical passage.
Diogenesister,
It would be freaky if they accepted the "theocratic" idea of an exjw. "Jehovah works in mysterious ways" 😉

stuckinarut2,
That is what I was hoping for... when I was in I always wanted that job 😉
2 pioneers of the opposite sex.
the brother is in his mid-20s, sister is in her late 20s.
both are alone in car as the only 2 out in field service.
Let's carry on this topic. So we have a variety of cases so far. There must be more! I'm intrigued in more field service related ones. Surely a brother and a sister in a car ended up where they weren't allowed to or funnier, the whole car group became a witness orgy or wife swap case...

I know why "missionary" position is the approved sexual position. It sounds more "theocratic"...
i have noticed in the uk a few families i used to know while in the borg have exited together.
some include former elders and ministerial servants.
i observed on social media pages that the kids have 'worldly' boyfriends and girlfriends and they look so much happier than they did in the org.
Ps. It's pomo. Stupid autocorrect ; -)
i'm sure many of you are aware of the jwtalk site, a message board which has yet to succumb to apostasy (give it time).. some of the forums there are visible to the public, and i've seen some crazy stuff.
here is a sampling:.
"satan is really trying his best to make things worst for the witnesses, knowing the 6,000 years is almost up, from eve's creation!".
Additionally, asking for your congregation may seem like an invasion of privacy, but actually it's a scare tactic to make you tell the truth. They wouldn't contact the elders if one of their members did something bad on site, otherwise the elders would turn round and ask questions about the forum and send a letter about the caller to the Branch. They'd be done for.
