Who of you ever lied on your field service reports?
by Julia Orwell ini've read a few people mention making up the figures for the field service reports, and i want to find out how common it is.
i never lied on my report.
sometimes i'd round up 15 minutes if i'd mentioned jw stuff to my brother that month, but that wasn't falsifying.

The last year that I pioneered I did not once actually put in the required 90 hours. I used to go and meet the group then my then wife and I would go off to do rvs. Which meant going to a coffee shop or shopping or whatever. Sometimes I would go fishing. I always wrote own 90+ hrs though!
What a fool I was to waste so many of the best years of my life on something so utterly devoid of meaning or worth.

Could the JWs sway you back...?
by new22day inop based on mr. freeze's topic - could attending the meetings/studying again sway any of you back to the org.
hearing the propaganda over and over again is pretty powerful i'm sure.
(i'm a non-jw, non-christian (no offense), stubborn as a bull and even i had moments of pause based on some of the doctrine (lasted 30 seconds) but i never had family/friends at stake or a background in this.

mP >>I cant remember where but i seem to recall reading somewhere that ancient peples occcasionally found dinosaurs and from that their imagination expanded them into deamons and dragons.
Whatever you read was horseshit.
Dinosaurs died out around 65 million years ago. Modern humans have only been around for less than 1 million years. Humans and dinosaurs were separated by more than 60 million years. They have NEVER co-existed.
This is basic high school biology.

Rob Stark was King of the North briefly. Then he thought it'd be a good idea to get married.
Now it's Stannis Baratheon. But at last report he was stuck in a blizzard somewhere near Winterfell.
Winter is coming.

One baptism...
by NeverKnew ini just realized, i have to explain the joke so you guys will get it.
in some churches, communion is open to anyone who has been baptised regardless of denomination or church affiliation at baptism.
so, even though one may be confirmed or baptised at one church, it can be acceptable to go to another church and receive communion.

Why do they assume they were anointed?
by Sheep2slaughter ini am well aware that this thread could diverge into a discussion of the legitimacy of the watchtowers view of heavenly class and earthly class and what not.
... but that's not the thrust of my question.
i just replied to a thread about going to memorial and started thinking how after jesus started out no one talked about actually doing it after the initial time.

They think they are anointed because they are "mentally diseased" (tm).
