  Gordy, how dare you look happy, and smile at them. It doesn’t fit their narrative, where all who stop associating with ‘Gods true people’ are all miserable, depressed alcoholics, or drug addicts, or in jail.

  I rejected the Watchtower society, not God, Jesus, or the Bible.

  Should young children peddle Watchtower Society literature?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  one thing i always disliked about the watchtower society is how they use young children tp peddle their literature.

  my mom insisted that my brother (12 years old) and i (9 years old) go out in field service every saturday morning.

  didn't matter if it was 90 degrees or 20 degrees, we were out peddling watchtower magazines.

  I was 6 years old, my parents took me out in field service, made me offer magazines at the door, then filled out a report for me. Hours, placements, etc. 🤮 When that report was dropped into the box, the elders (brothers) wanted to ‘talk’ to me. I was so scared. My dad then told them I was scared, and just to add me as a publisher. I was only 6! And later, my mom told me that now I was a publisher, I had to report time every month, so I wouldn’t be considered ‘inactive.’ That sucked, I didn’t even have a choice. Same with the ministry school. I refused to join, but then I wanted my ears pierced. My dad told me he would allow me to get my ears pierced only if I joined the ministry school. Being a JW kid sucked. 💩

  absolute worst case scenario, the last of the generation that saw the events of 1914 would have died off would be in the mid to late 1990's!

  so we were told in the 1980's!

  so now we 3/4 of another generation past that!.

  i have just realized that the 2021 service report figures have in fact been published.

  but they are written in such a way its harder to compare.

  so on the jw website, there is a tab called 'about us'.

  You know, if the numbers are down, they just spun that as “we are so close to the end, the love of the greater numbers will cool off”.

  I have an old cassette tape of a talk he gave to a group of ex JWs. I remember one part where ( at an assembly) babies were being left to sleep in the hot sun, and one or more infants passed away. Someone went to the person in charge to have an announcement made to mothers not to leave their babies to sleep in the hot sun. They refused, said they couldn’t waste “valuable microphone time” on unimportant announcements. What a loving organization.
