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.".

I've worked jobs by the hour. I've also been self employed so I worked for the work. I like the self employed better so it means that every minute matters, as opposed to working by the hour where every minute was 1/60th of the pay rate.
That is like field service. Working by the hour "I'm going out for 3 hours today", you focus on the 3 hours and watch the clock. If your ministry is not about time, then you are going to focus on people not the clock.
does any body know if people at bethels around the world used to to have to do admin for all the publishers weekly reports .
The congregation's secretary would total the number of hours for publishers, aux pios, pios, and the number of each and the publications and send it in.
Then the branch would just deal with the congregation totals. In the past the branch would deal with the pioneer reports but that got changed to the congregation.
for newbies, who was carl olof jonsson?
he was a jw in sweden who was challenged by a householder in the 1960s, who pointed out to him that secular history books don’t agree with watchtower that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, but instead place the event 20 years later.
the reason the date is important is because it is the starting date for jw chronology which leads to 1914 as the end of the gentile times, and the beginning of the last days, as jws understand it.
The thing is, he never actually reconsidered the Gentile Times.
He just moved the destruction of Jerusalem from 607 to 587. Did he reconsider that the Gentile Times were not based on the destruction of Jerusalem? He was arguing with the WTS on their teachings, not on the actual chronology of what God was doing.
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?
The reason was that they reduced pioneer hours to keep the number of pioneers up.
With publishers they couldn't reduce hours, so by not reporting them, then that is a way to keep then number of publishers up.

This is what I've been saying for years that they should do. Just have a box where we can check that states we were a publisher that month. And as others have stated, the number of publishers will go up with people just checking the box.
The whole reporting of time, and pioneering, is a violation of what Jesus said "you, when making gifts of mercy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your gifts of mercy may be in secret. Then your Father who looks on in secret will repay you." and "when you make gifts of mercy, do not blow a trumpet ahead of you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be glorified by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full."
i didint search to see if its been talked about.
big news for jws sheeple , no more reporting.
