my brother told us that sr. so and so ,was disfellowshipped.
now ,she is in her late 60's.
i just had a feeling it was for apostasy.
As a Witness , you feel like you have all the answers, and have the meaning of life handed to you, Then , you wake-up from that dreamy haze, or nightmare, and realize it was an illusion. And on your own to figure out what is true and real, and find your own meaning of life.
How very true that is!!👍
regular pioneers: 600 per year, 50 on average per month.auxiliary pioneers: 30 hours per monthauxiliary pioneers in march and april: fee reduced to 15 hours.
I busted a gut to pioneer when it was 1000 hours a year 90 hours a month.
I regular auxiliary pioneered - 60 hrs a month for six months to build up a routine/schedule.
The CO and other regular pioneers looked down on me as a lowly regular auxiliary pioneer until I was made a regular pioneer and then accepted by them.
Then I looked down on the auxiliary pioneers!!!
What a mug I was..🤦♂️
if you drink macallan whisky, at armageddon you will become righteous immediately, a son of god, brother of christ, an immortal king/priest, and to cap it all, help all the un-righteous minions on earth grow to perfection gradually over the next 12,000 months.
no such 'growing' needed for macallan drinkers!

Hilarious!

elders to meet with meet with regular pioneers asap and review their progress.
announcement.
december 12, 2022. for elders.
When I pioneered the hour requirement was 90hrs a month.
I don't know what it is now?
When I left they expected appointed men to be doing at least 10hrs a month.
I think in the economic climate they should make the regular pioneer requirement 40hrs a month and 20 for auxiliary's - then anyone spiritual with economic responsibilities might have a chance of achieving a reasonable work/life/theocratic balance.
Do I think they will ever acknowledge reality from their gilded bethel tower and make these changes to the hour requirements?
No, I don't think they ever will...
hi friend`s ,i have my son and dil living with us ,which has been ok,overall ,quite a few years now ,however ,a few months ago they decided they wanted a dog ok ?
we had one a toy poodle for about 16-17 years and i just loved her as did my wife.. a few months ago my son wanted a dog and got a french bulldog as a pup ,which was ok by us .. however to cut a long story short, yesterday i was out in the back yard and the dog lunged at me and started attacking me in such a way as i can only describe as being frenetic in his attack ,in trying to ward off his attack and getting away from him i fell over and i believe if my son hadn`t finlly restrained him he would have mauled me .
i am 83 years old and my wife has just turned 80. and i dont want that to happen to her .. i don`t know the dog is what 4-5-6 months old i`m not sure , and been living with us all this time ,however i`m going to tell them to get that dog out of my house by the week and and a half or i will one way or another .. i am not going to tolerate that in my household and if he don`t like it he can go also .. i`m not being unreasonable am i ?
I am so sorry to hear this.
You are quite within your rights to be concerned and have immediate action taken in my humble opinion.

Fascinating - thank you.
what are some of the red flags that should alert people to the fact that jehovah's witnesses are a high control and damaging religion?.
one that comes to mind is.
1. one cannot leave jehovah's witnesses with one's reputation intact.
High Level Control:
Try going to a few meetings without underlining your watchtower - how long will it be before someone grasses you up and the elders request a visit to 'encourage' you!!!

Events like weddings and funerals etc are primarily seen by the JW's as occasions to proselytize heavily to a captive audience rather than give an uplifting talk about someone's life/marriage etc...

Warning new bible studies that they will face opposition from family and friends for studying with the JW's - "It's a Satanic attack from your family, and none of your family's or friends cult concerns are relevant..."
