the updated organized to do our will book is now up.

i just skimmed through it very quickly and i think they are more lenient on reporting time now (p. 76):.

there are essential activities for which time is not counted, such as getting ready for field service, attending themeeting for field service, running errands, and so forth.

Whatever it takes to get those hours up.

I read the whole explanation, but It's too complex for me. From your conclusion the state of watchtower is not as dire as we think it is. Correct??

Remember when you could wear casual clothes to the congregation book study?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

i would get home from work,eat dinner,shower and put on jeans,a shirt and gym shoes to the book study.

then,one day a letter was read where men would need to wear a suit and tie and the woman would have to wear dresses.

it was stated in a letter that the change was due to, '' giving a better witness to anyone who would watch us walking into our local congregation or a neighbor's house.''.

I don't ever remember wearing really casual clothing at the book study. Although most sisters had a hierarchy in their wardrobe. The best for Sunday and Tuesday , then the book study skirt and top and of course the service every day clothes. I guess this would have been a regional thing.

I know my husband would refuse to wear his jacket and when we attended the bookstudy in a private home, he would wear a sweater. Those were the nights that he wasn't allowed to read or pray. Well that was just fine with him

Template to dump Special Pioneers

by avaddohn94 in

"downsizing" has reached special pioneers.. this is the template mexico is using to get rid of many of its special pioneers.

see how cold and unloving is the language they use.

a translation attempt is as follows:.

There are several couples that I know that got the booth from bethel and are now special pioneers. I will poke around to see if their status will change in the next couple of months.

are there really 8 million jw's?

last circuit assembly there was 700+ present and 1 baptized.. recently there was a foreign language assemble of over 500 and 1 baptized.. in the last 5-10 years i haven't been to one assembly where there has been more than a handful baptized.

at the memorial all i see are the same old faces that have been coming since the flood.. the hall complex i attend has 6 congregation and several groups-there is negative growth.

when you factor in the demographically aging folk and the many who have already passed away, i don't know where they get the 8 million.. i know that most of the growth is from the developing countries, but still i think they are fudging their numbers.
