@ Tameria2001 after all taking care of one household is part of the service to God. Being a pioneer is no room for excuses or slackness in those areas too.

Upcoming Neutrality Talk Oct 26, 2020
by Listener inthanks petra and atlantis for providing the latest announcements from the watchtower.. they are telling congregations to replace the 15 minute local needs talk in the midweek meeting of october 26th with a talk on neutrality.
i am not sure if this is due to there being a usa election on tues 3rd, november or because of their worldwide preaching campaign targeting government officials.
it does sound like it is due to the usa election due to comments about propaganda and political promises.

It is said, man is a political animal. Definitely ORGANIZATION built by man are POLITICAL CREATION of MAN. It's a pity that the WTBTS despite calling itself only God's ORGANIZATION on EARTH is a Political animal. For the ORGANIZATION to operate in any land it has to PLAY POLITICS by dancing to the TUNE of "ARTICLE OF ASSOCIATION" which carries it is own politics and POLITICKING.
IF JWs campaign for ONE Government against the OTHER, what do we call that............. POLITICS
What they seem to miss here is that every magazine distributed is as good as ONE VOTE for "JEHOVAH’S GOVERNMENT" in the eyes of JWS. The reason you see emphasis on placement as much as possible.
The DELUSION is REAL
When JWs campaign for JEHOVAH’S GOVERNMENT against SATAN'S GOVERNMENT what is it called? ...........................
a. Jehovah politics
b politricks
c. Neutrality

@ goingthrutheemotions
Note the parts of "HE SAYS"......... "HE SAYS"............. followed by the commands of MEN in this case RUTHERFORD................... the issue here is the Lord didn't say ANYTHING about all what was written in that article. It was all COMMANDS of MEN. It is in such commands people SPIRITUALITY and INTEGRITY are tested and measured. Should she default in a month, it will be counted as spiritual weakness or slowing down spiritually and has stated earlier she just handed herself over to full control and increased surveillance on you as well because any slow down on her part will be seen as YOU not doing ENOUGH to support her or a case of you PERSECUTING her.
In the land of JWs, a pioneer, a wife beater of a man in this case who reports 70 hours monthly is seen as a BONAFIDE JW while the wife of the same man who is equally a baptized member who don't report is seen as not a BONAFIDE JWs.
What does the above tell you? Spirituality is measured in as many hours or figure you can supply in COOKED or UNCOOKED form and added to this the FAQS on the website states they only count as JWs those who report their preaching activities regularly.
Reason along with her, you might be fortunate something will make her do a rethink.

Watchtower July 1 1943 is what I will ask you to get and reason alongside her about the GENESIS of PIONEERING based on the account of Jesus saying they TEACH commands of MEN as doctrine.
If you can get her to to reason that the PIONEERING work is just the construct of Rutherford to subordinate JWs and Lord it over the members.

......... "And third, you need to confirm that Jehovah has an organized group of people who are worshipping him under Christ’s headship and that Jehovah’s Witnesses are that group...........
One of the truth that JWs really need to convince themselves about. This is one of the truth the ORGANIZATION cannot defend using the scripture
Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:

Whatever they have have used to label other Christians denomination as being false is the same thing the organization does.
@ Seabreeze and that their cunning and manipulation of words is one way of getting back at them. Especially the word CHRISTENDOM. Some even went as far as looking for meaning to fit their ideology

1919 2013 2020 and the Slave
by Jerryh ini was never a jw but i lurk in this forum occasionally, trying to rescue some family.
i will spare you those details.. jw.org and jwfacts are there with youtubes out the wazoo but i would appreciate your thought on this.. i know there are contradictions plenty but this is foundational, blatant and current.
i know they typically just blow off.

Earnest: Jehovah's Witnesses do not identify these slaves with the "faithful and discreet slave" of Matthew 24:45-47, and it can be seen when reading the verses prior to vs 45 (vss 32-44) that they refer to the coming (not going) of the Son of Man.
LLTR: Who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?+ 46 Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so!
A closer at on coming, signifying his return which still shows before he left, the slaves had been given a task.
So according to this watchtower....... In 1919, a time of spiritual revival, Jesus selected capable anointed brothers from among them to be the faithful and discreet slave and appointed them over his domestics.w130715
They are saying ON COMING the master the finds Russell and his cohorts as that faithful slave appointed to feed his domestics but still to be appointed over all his belongings
The problem here is ON COMING, the initial task was given when he LEAVES, when the master returns, he confirms is diligence to initial task and REWARDS the slave with appointment all over belongings just like the other illustrations

Jerryh: Are you referring to Matt. 24:45?
LLTR: Yes, including the other slaves illustrations
Jerryh: I understand but please elaborate.
LLTR: In 1919, a time of spiritual revival, Jesus selected capable anointed brothers from among them to be the faithful and discreet slave and appointed them over his domestics......w20130715
My response to the above quote:
In all those slave illustrations, it was when the MASTER was LEAVING, TRAVELLING e.t.c that he handed out tasks to his slaves not when he RETURNED.
The teaching above says Jesus appointed them over domestics when he RETURNED in 1914.
What do you think about Christ return in 1914? Has he returned or he is still to come. When you sort this out, you see the point made.Jerryh: Tks for your question.
LLTR: As long as you understand.
