i thought i would share some of my observations on counting field service time, reports, etc.
and how those reports are viewed, to those that are still so fixated on numbers.. i served as secretary on the service committee for many years, and have seen it all!.
i was really disheartened when wt changed the requirement for aux pioneering to allow for 30 hrs, instead of the 50 it has been for so long.
I was at an elders house once the evening before his deadline for time to the org, so he was on the phone calling the usual pubs.
Before he calls one of the pubs, he wrote down the hours and placements on a sheet. Called the pub. and asked them for their time.... what they told him was exactly what he wrote down on the time slip before calling. He told me that for this pub it is exactly the same every month.
a woman i've known for years recently confided in me.
she told me she found out her jw husband had been secretly e-mailing his jw ex-girlfriend.
he was telling his ex about how difficult it had been for him since his wife was now basically an apostate.
He even hid her skype name under the name of a family member to deceive her.
When she confronted her husband about it again he insisted they were just friends.
Telling.... If just friends, then why the need to try and hide the name?
she's in her last stages of luekemia.
she fell a few days ago and she's going downhill.
quickly.
Sorry to hear about your Grammy.
I never really got to bond with my own because of the Watchtower. However, now that my wife and xwife are grannys to our grand twins, I now know what a special relationship it can be. I am glad the watchtower did not rob you of that with your own.
i have been reading post on this forum for many months and i wanted to thank you all for all the great posts and comments that have really helped me get through this hard year of fading.
my husband and i where born in jdubs and almost 1 year ago we started to fade , now that we think about it has been a few years that we were suffering from cognitive dissonance without knowing it.
we feel that finally we have our life back , a life that is just starting.
We have not been DF or DA but both sides of our family have shunned us , it has been many months that they stopped talking to us and they even went to the extent to change there phone number so that I cannot contact them
Such a loving organization..... NOT!

i am so tired of waking up without hope.
so tired of fighting one more day...i just want it to end as painless as possible.
i truly don't have the willpower or strength anymore..
Hang in there, hope things get better for you soon.
so does this mean aawa is going to stop shunning?
are they themselves not guilty of shunning those who shun?
shunning can never be stopped no matter how bad you want it to.
Good video! Hopefully the video will go viral and the GB will be calling AAWA to set up a meeting to discuss reforming it's bad policy.
Yeah, that's the ticket.

al capone gained his power by exploiting the weaknesses of people.. judge rutherford gained his power by exploiting the weaknesses of people.
Bttt.
has anybody here experienced a bonafide, real, true incident in whicy 'demons' actually interacted with you or did something 'supernatural' that left you convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that satan and his demons exist??.
.
I had a black Sabath album that I tried to burn after learning about the demons and it let out a screem while it was burning.
It was real.
All my other demonic experiences were not REAL.
