  So when a CO gets disfellowshipped is there an announcement in every congregation in the circuit he served? If this is the case , his name will come out soon enough. Just give it time

  so... i should have commented on the thread on dating a fader.. i am a fader, and my girlfriend is just... she doesn't care much for jw's... she wants to be with me, and while we are together we ignore all jw rules.

  last night, for example, we celebrated halloween.. there's a problem, though, and i need your help.. again, i will explain the cities:.

  city a: where my parents (and now i) live.

  I think that option 2 would keep you off the hot seat for a while. At least until you get on your feet and in your parents house. Put in a few hours. This will keep everyone off your back.

  You are right Phizzy it appears that this caution was eliterated about 9 years ago. I did a quick search and there was a thread about. I think what struck me this time around is the tone the letter had. It was a" pointing the finger" type of letter no doubt carefully crafted by their lawyers. The sense was that "if you disregard any of these signs, we wont back you up and you may be sued----so there".

  I remember the sleuty ways we would get in apartment building as Rebel 8 mentioned. My poineer partner and I would wait around until someone would enter, then sneek in and start from the top floor. We would do a few doors and then go the the next floor . Eventually we would find some irate person that would call security and we would be kicked out. But then we would do it all again the next time.

  When I think about it now, I am so ashamed of some of the tactics that were used to infringe on others right to privacy.

  BUT the dubs are warned--if there is a "no trespassing sign" on a property enter at your own risk. So says the letter from mother/gb that was read this week at the hall. It went on to say that the householder has a right to privacy and and is in his legal right to press charges not against the watchtower society but against the publisher himself. In other words big brother will not come to the aid of little brother. You are on your own publisher!!

  All I can say that this is a complete reversal of what was encourage in the past. --I don't know about the rest of you, but in my area, witnesses were instructed to disregard any sign the householder would put up because these signs never applied to God's people. So whether it was a "no solicitor", "no stranger", or "no trespassing" we were to forge on and bring the good news. And if you hesitated someone would label you as having fear of man and not trusting fully in jehovah.

  SOOO - this is what they think passes for "piousneering " nowadays???

  by hamsterbait in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  on my way into work, i saw a "litterature waggon" strapped to a lamp post outside the railway station.. three (i kid you not) three "pious sneers" were standing, almost thirty feet away, gossiping laughing.. i watched for about five minutes, not one person looked at the stuff (it had "bible" on it so warned passersby cult.).

  they never once went near the display to draw attention to it.

  in fact, only an ex dubbie would have known they were connected with it.. by the end of the morning, they will have put in 3 x number of hours standing chatting and drinking coffee to keep warm.

  As Phizzy said, my "piousneering" days were made up of 100 hours a month, then 90 deducting anything and everything that wasn't related to actual hours. did this for close to 20 years.

  Now its a joke, 7 people pile inside a van and then drive around for 8 hours. And these carts and stands are ridiculous. The interesting thing is the letter that was read a couple of weeks ago-- wanting only pioneers to mann these carts. It used to be that street work was done mainly by elderly jw who werent' able to do much. Now they don't want the old, they want the only pioneers.
