Ray Franz book, COC, had some good memos to the GB, even from the "higher ups," who blasted this counterproductive requirement!

9A question on counting time
by Bandit inwell after lurking for a year i figure it's time to start giving back and geting views on my own thoughts, here we go.
my wife (a jw i'm not)was saying lastnight that she felt bad because she only got 2 hrs this month so far (going out all day today).
never mind the fact she's started to volunteer at a childrens hospital.. .

UN update needed
by Hmmm inafter letting my little un bomb lie like a dead mackerel for weeks, my mother suddenly emailed me with thoughts of love an encouragement.
she is deathly afraid that i've allowed satan to not only lead me astray, but to be used as a weapon to attack my poor unsupecting family.
(my email put out the bare facts, two links, and questions about the veracity of the claims, as presented to me by "a brother i know.").

Canada Bethelites told not accepted if they marry
by Pathofthorns insince i'm out of the loop, this was told to me by a friend tonight that since the canadian bethel continues to downsize, any bethelites that are dating are informed they and their future wives will not be accepted if they marry.. it is well known here that the branch built for growth that never occurred and continues to not happen so it is likely there is some truth to this.
this may be old news anyway, like i said, i'm out of the loop.. in the past (and correct me if i'm wrong) at least one could re-apply and have a reasonable good chance of being accepted.. these days a bethelite finds himself with difficult choices to marry and face the big scary real world or stick with the life he knows.
one way or another, the wt makes it difficult for those who wish to live a normal life.

However:If you have a profession (law or medical) that is needed, they will take kids! I know of an attorney that was sent to Patterson kids and all!
Funny, but I remember the letter sent to all congregations (about six years ago) stating that there was a need for doctors and lawyers. Wow, if you disobeyed the WT and got your degree as a doctor or lawyer back in the 60's or 70's or 80's, you can now write your own ticket with the WT! They will support you, feed you, send you around to give talks.....I agree with all the posts......

""Your desire to teach and spread the JW teachings is obvious. Do you choose to do it here because you are banded from doing it in your religion simply because you are a woman? Does this board give you the attention not allowed in your religion? Is that another reason you choose to disobey the male leaders of your religion and cast pearls before swine like us? ""
You can replace "JW Teachings" with any poster's motives here. We all have motives..........Let her speak. Viewing two sides of a coin is always best. It reminds me why I am out!! However, your points are well taken.

Bro: It depends on you!If you can convince them you need THEIR help and guidance you can get of with private reproof. If you act like, so what? What’s the big deal, you may face more. However, chatting with persons may not be an offence, depends on content. The porno, well I never was involved as an Elder for that offence. If they know about this site, your goose may be cooked (that may not be a bad thing, think about it).
Remember, they need two witnesses, if you dump everything and your wife did not make a copy, you could deny everything.......What do you want???
You can read the Flock Book on line for more info.........

Not all happy endings! Kirk's son dies in episode 3....
But really, you can’t compare the trilogy of LOTR. I read it some 20 years ago, saw the movie last Saturday and now will re-read this epic adventure!
