i ask this because the wt always bangs on about if you trust in jehovah and make that leap into pioneering, you will always be provided for.
at the time i joined the cult, a friend was continuous aux.
pioneering.
My hand is raised too. Pioneered for 20 years on a shoe string.
we had out of state company come the past couple days.
we had a days notice they were coming.
they stayed 1.5 days and left today because they couldn't miss the wt back home.
Through the years we have camped with families that would bring all their meeting clothes and books. It was as if lighting would strike and kill them if they missed.

god and doctorby mikkael a. sekeres, m.d.april 25, 2013.. when he came to the hospital, he did not look well.. you might think that everyone with a recent leukemia diagnosis appears ill, but that isnt true.
This so sad. The governing boobs have a lot of blood on their hands.
and why did you choose it?
if you have a avatar, what is it and why did you pick it?.

Wannaexit is descriptive of the overwhelming sensation i felt when I started to figure things out back in 2002. I wanted to exit so bad. My avatar is describes the sadness I felt when I realized how I had wasted greater portion of my life. By the time I truly understood, I had pioneered for almost 2 decades and was almost childless.
ok group, we have learned:.
a. working more to provide for ones family is tantamount to worshipping false gods!.
b. do'nt have children because one day you might have to eat them!.
....and if you are offered a scholarship for a university education at age 15 don't accept it. But become a missionary instead in some remote island, then you can translate some of the society's publications. (page 108 par12)
If you are a parent make sure that your kids do worse than you did. A parent should not say"I want my child to have an easier life". if a parent wishes his child a better life than it would demonstrate that he/she is seeking "great things". (pag 109 par 13)
brother of the hawk, newly enlightened & gojira, recorded an elder's meeting on 5/7/03.
both does a great job of defending me and making the elders look foolish!.
thank you raypublisher/jj and jwstruggle for the awesome job you did on it.. follow up story was not recorded but we will post it here hopefully over the weekend.. enjoy, it's pretty hilarious how they try to control us and come after me on a work of fiction!.
I enjoyed the video very much. The elders are such embecils. They apply Matt 18 when it suits them.
What is the title of the book, id love to purchase it.
how emphasized was it to go to the congregation that you lived in the territory of?
how many did so?.
It depends on what station one holds in the pecking order. Elders, pioneers and ministerial servants are often found outside their territory boundaries. Generally these are asked to "jump over to Macedonia" if a neighboring congregation is in greater need.
The rank and file are generally strongly encouraged to stay where they are assigned. If someone chooses to disobey and go to a congregation other than their assigned one, then that person is considered rebellious because theocratic order is put aside. Often priviledges such as carrying mikes, prayer etc. are withheld.
i was thinking this weekend of a brother i first met when i was a teenager.. not yet an elder, this brother was very outspoken, and was viewed a kind of hero to the r&f.. an inexperienced teen, i also believed ( influenced by others) that this guy was a godsend.. looking back, with the eyes of a more mature person, i now consider him an arrogant self opinionated bully.. he later became an elder and i might add that he also had an imposing physical appearance .
but he had no education.
no schooling.
Growing up in the borg, I too was brainwashed to think that jehovah's witnesses were always a notch above everybody else. After all we had divine education while everybody else had satan's education. And if one read the awake for 6 months , it was the equivalent of a college education.
