Was never forced.
They never had to.
My parents got involved when I was about nine years old, my grandmother had been baptized two years prior to that.
I went to meetings several times on my own and also gave talks etc before my dad did.
Was a small eager discipline who actually found real delight in theocratic activities..
Sort of theocratic geek. ha ha....
They never denied us things, we had the freedom to do, but we were so disciplined that we never did anything mischievous anyway...
Of course, apart from me falling away as an elder and later a gay man.... So I guess I made up for all the good behaviour... ;-).
Ps: am now married and live just as orderly as before ;-) But have added celebrations etc to it!

In neighbouring Georgia, there has been numerous reports of priests attacking witnesses. Most people know that JWs refrain from non-violence, esp while in iministry... The whole article seems rather dubious to me...

New Field Service Policy - jw's assigned to neighborhoods
by skeeter1 ini am looking for confirmation on the following:.
jws are now being individually assigned to smaller territories, and they are told to consistently work that same territory over & over again.
the reason is that the watchtower wants the jws to build relationships with the people in that area.

I remember visiting a congregation in Germany some 25 years ago.. They had the same territories for years.

"Feeling sorry for yourself" about being hit by your husband is not Christian 2/15/12 WT Page 25 P 12
by yourmomma inhave anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?
its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .
if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?

Interestingly, in the Swedish version of the Watchtower, the story is rendered somewhat differently. The part about hitting is omitted, so the reader is left to the impression that "only" verbal abuse was involved.
The Norwegian and Danish versions, however, have a literal translation of the account on Steve and his wife.

Name of Turkish Watchtower
by InquiryMan insome time ago the turkish edition of the watchtower was called tarassut kulesi if memory proves med right.. now, though, the name has been changed to gozcu kulesi.
is there anyone skilled in turkish that could explain this change?.

I see. Seems that the latter version is a more literal translation of the English term then. Thank you for helping out!... I thought of google myself, but did not espect it to be that disctinctive on details...
Tesekkur ederim!

fortunately this has been banned in my country since the early 80s.
Also, all references to phycial discipline in JW literature was removed from then on, in order to comply with the law.
I also remember in my congregation that an elder spoke against such discipline from the platform.

Is the Oct 30 WT study a Prelude to a Tithing towards the Soc.
by Quarterback init felt weird discussing this topic this week about this term, "share" of the levites.
.
some made comments that alluded to the financial assistance that we are currently doing towards sponsoring the bethels around the world.. i wouldn't be surprised that a new thought comes out soon about that ten percent rule.. .

I wonder why you react that much of the credit machines. They have been around in assembly halls in Europe for years.....
But only americans seem to react this strongly over it...
