  The most inefficient workers in history

  by RunningMan in

  i thought this was a little odd, so i did some calculations to see if my observations were correct.. last year, there were 107,218 jws in canada.

  they reported 18,544,473 hours of field service.

  this activity resulted in 2,030 new baptisms.

  Right on RunningMan,

  I used that arguement with my JW dad before I ever decided to leave the Borg. I had been preaching for 30 yrs and hadn't converted anyone. What a waste of time. I thought: "Maybe I'm not the best person for this job"

  Amne,

  WOW! How much time did that post take you? Sorry I have to admit I didn't take the time to read the whole thing but after 3 pages I started getting Deja Vu. I think you made a great point.....but I don't agree with it. Sorry. I don't agree that those who stay in are causing any harm or responsible for the actions of the whole body of elders. No more than a US spy working in Pakistan as a government agent would be responsible for the actions of the Pakistani Government.

  Also, That much effort put into just proving your side of an arguement seems a little excessive but that's just my opinion. Please take that only as friendly free advice. You know what they say about free advice...........You get what you pay for.

  I love you, man.

  Resignation - not that it matters at all, but ....

  by TheOldHippie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just wanted those kind-hearted, those gentle, those friendly ones of you to know that i wrote my letter of resignation as an elder yesterday, after having served in that capasity for 24 years.. those wishing to call me or any society "bastard", "sucker", "braindead" or anything, as they have before, i would ask please to refrain from that.

  other comments would be welcome.. somehow, it is the armstrong quote about "one small step for man, one giant leap for humankind" (approximately) the other way around, "one giant leap for (a) man, one hardly noticeable step for humankind".. ok, that was that.

  Hey Ol' Hip',
  Congratulations! I can imagine what you're going through right now and I want you to know I'm happy for you. There is an exciting life ahead of you. BUCKLE UP! Just for the record, I don't know you so that means you are Mister Perfect right now as far as I'm concerned.

  What's next?

  April,

  Funny you should say that.. King of the Hill is actually set in the area where I currently reside. And yes, I work with some people just like that. Life is downright funny around here sometimes.

  John, Thanks for the effort you put into this press release. I appreciate the fact that you are actually doing something proactive while still sounding objective. Of course it needs a little editing but then that's what editors are for. Right? :)

  Go man Go!

  Since I'm from Arkansas, I am more familiar with Hillbonics.
  Some of the more popular phrases were.
  Meer! Youant sum fresh maters.
  Dem taters 'bout ready to dig?
  HoooooooWeeeee! Dat outhouse is STAINKY!

  Actual conversation:
  "How'd ya get dat knot on yor forehead, Doyle Gene?"
  "Well Tim....My dogs treed a coon and I didn't have no gun with me so I picked up this here rock ta throw up thar and knock dat coon out an............"
  Tim: "{{{{{snicker}}}}}"

  Loved your post TATIANA!!!! and I love seeing your face around here.

  Ok Andi here goes:

  When I'm near broke or watching football I drink beer.
  When I'm not broke and at a fine dining establishment I drink Louis Jadot Pinot Noir.
  When I'm feeling strong and stupid I drink Scotch on the rocks.
  I never mix mixed drinks.

  My personal favorite:
  The sweet aromatic nectar of the Goddesses.

  GDW, I don't have experience as a cabin boy but I have been locked up in the "basement" before. Does that count? I'm working on my South Seas tan.

  'Time' not a constant in the Universe!

  by Outaservice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was a good old jw, going out in service, counting my time, i noticed something strange.. i could drive to one side of the county, make a back-call, and then drive clear through town as slow as i could and then out of town to the other side of the county to make another back-call.

  the total time it took to do this was about 6 minutes!.

  if i was not out in service and was trying to rush, say to a movie, it took at least 45 minutes to get through town alone!

  Intersting discussion!

  Now that you mention it I remember evidence that time was not constant. At assemblies (and conventions) I remember there was nothing I could do that made time speed up unless you actually left the premises. Once you left the property time seemed to go back to normal speed. When you came back, it crawled. Sleep didn't even help. You could fall asleep for thirty minutes and it was like time slowed even more because you tried to cheat it. There were some tricks I used to "cheat" the joshua effect. Such as: Holding my breath and timing it. I could eventually get up to 1 1/2 minutes and by that time the meeting would probably be over. When I had a baby I would take her outside and listen to music in the car or drive to the corner store for a snack. I must tell you taking the baby out was the absolute best way to counteract the Joshua effect.
