  Thought on “0 hours” reporting

  by FFGhost in

  so everyone knows the “big news” of this past weekend, no more reporting of hours, placements, return visits, etc.

  beginning november 1, jws just tick a box indicating whether they “shared in any form of the ministry during the month”.. so there was a brief comment by a redditor that seems like a brief joke “throwaway comment” but after thinking about it….why not?.

  the idea is, what is “any form of the ministry”?

  I was always a low hour publisher…this change would make me tape a tract to my car window, mark ‘active’. 😂

  This answers the question if the organization was going to go more Hardline or mainstream.

  looks like we can expect a kinder, gentler jehovah and jesus during the great tribulation.

  the door will not be closed to all non jws at the start of the tribulation.

  but will have time to repent after false religion is destroyed.

  I’m so disappointed, I wanted more talks on “tight pants”, and “burnt hot dogs.” You know, also “Lotta dead people.”

  Ozzie, I know witnesses who hunt, many have guns. I guess technically they are not supposed to have pistols for protection, but I’m sure some do, and just don’t tell anyone.

  Real reasons behind this change?

  by Gorb in

  just a good conversation at home about the hour report change.. we think the change was not impmemented because the gb are such a lovely bunch of old grandpa's having the best in mind for us individuals.. there will be only, and we say only, an organizational reason for it.

  a legal reason, to protect jw.org and it's officials and wealth.. next step?

  maybe selling more kh and when jw hollywood studio's in rampoo are ready a change to tv subscription.. what do you think?

  I think the real reason is because so many are leaving, hours are down so much, they can’t publish that. So they present this as a ‘loving provision’, while hiding the low numbers. They know people are leaving in droves.

  No more REPORTING field service!!!!!!!!!

  this is going to break the hearts of a lot of uber-jw's!

  reddit has now removed the video link of samuel herd telling jw's they will no longer have to report time or placements - just tick a box which says "active.".

  Very true, wanna exit. There is always an ulterior motive. They DO NOT want to show how badly the numbers have tanked.

  Cult or High Control Group?

  by MillennialDawn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i see this phrase a lot: "the indication of a cult is what happens when you leave.

  " i'm not sure where that originated, but it is a faulty categorization.

  "cult" is almost always used in a derogatory way.

  Stan live death, that was a wonderful post! I spoke this past Thursday at a Christian college. I know the professor. He asked me to speak about unions, from my perspective. Because I was in a union for 22 years, and had other jobs without unions. The class was “Business Ethics”. He asked me to give my background as well. So of course I mentioned I was raised a JW, and that it’s a cult. After my presentation, there was questions. I got more questions about JW’s than I did about unions. I was happy to oblige, and mentioned that I know where they stand with the carts, very near where the college is. Some are now planning to engage the carts. These are well educated Christian students. Have fun, cart people! 😂

  Things JWs Say That Don't Mean What They Think It Means

  sometimes things don't come across the way the speaker intended.. years ago there was an ad by the whitegoods company fisher and paykel.

  they showed them going to great lengths to get customer feedback on what was important to them.

  one customer said that she wanted it to be easy to get her appliances serviced when they broke down.

  I heard that brainwashed statement too…the retort I heard was that they would rather have a washed mind than the ‘Dirty’ minds of the ‘Worldly’.

  It seems as though the witnesses will soon house their Kingdom Halls inside prisons. For pedos, and those “persecuted “ for their faith.

  Whatever happened to JW paedo Michael Porter?

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  2. child-abuse

  i remember reading about this guy in a national newspaper in 2010 after he had had his trial for child sex abuse.

  porter avoided prison, despite being guilty of some acts child abuse.. the local elders defended him and were on his side and didn't df him, from what i remember.

  then after an outcry porter was was df'd, and i think sent to prison.. anyone up-to-date on this?.
