What if the GB hired you as the new CEO of Jehovah's Witnesses?

by kneehighmiah in

i'm pretending the gb decided to hire a ceo to combat dwindling membership and overall apathy.

here is a list of the changes i would make to the organization if i were hired as ceo.

feel free to list your ideas (serious and humorous)!.

i would do more to help those in the community who need assistance, regardless of their religious beliefs. I would also ensure there are aged care facilities for those who are elderly and need additional care - especially those who have been faithful for many years (I have an elderly mum who has been faithful for many years & given so much to this organisation and they don't give a f**k about her - it really pisses me off!)

JW's DO celebrate Xmas!

by PrincessCynic in

i'm finding it really funny how many witnesses celebrate christmas without actually 'celebrating christmas'.

i'm just looking at facebook and seeing how many got together with family on christmas day or boxing day and had a big roast dinner, often with turkey, ate too much, drank too much, played some board games etc.

then a few days later i'm seeing photos from all their 'family present days' where the kids get a ton of gifts to open.

I have noticed the same sort of thing... Many jw's attending work Xmas lunches/dinners etc. posting pics & gifts they received, but calling them 'end of year' gifts or 'end of year' lunches/dinners...

Also have noticed many jw's going out & receiving/giving gifts to celebrate the day they were born, but calling it their 'special day' rather than their birthday... Also seen many jw's tagged on fb by non-jw's celebrating Xmas & birthdays... It's very common here...

Prepare for meetings??

by Jen1 in

do you prepare for meetings?

if i go i spend a few minutes underlinging my books/watchtower.. i have noticed that those who do the micks especially notice when your stuff is not underlined, and comments are made after the meeting, not so gentle hints, about study and preperation!

in other words i am being told off, its usually the ones who are highly critical of everything i do, sometimes their whole family seems to be straining to see if my stuff is underlined, i know this because i heard the daughter to family wisper her watchtower is not underlined!.

Jaidubdub

I wld usually underline while the paragraphs were being read. Sometimes I wld spend the first 5 or 10 minutes of the wt underlining the whole lot. I never read the questions, just underlined whatever... And when I was really bored I wld underline the follow study.... And the nxt one...
