  Did you feel guilty for not pioneering?

  by brokethechain in

  i started pioneering the month i finished high school, and never stopped until i awakened, 17 years later.

  it seems like the entire time, there was so much emphasis on pioneering.

  every field service meeting seemed to have a part that communicated the message that jehovah would zap us at the big a. or people would die because of us if we didn't have extenuating circumstances (i always translated as bad health or kids, but even then, there were always "examples" of the mom with 5 kids that was pioneering).

  @brokethechain: you and I have had a very similar experience. I also pioneered the month after high school graduation and continued for the next 20. When I stopped I felt not only guilty but deficient. Even during those years Iwas pioneering I felt guilty for not doing a better job.

  Lets get real and heal, and give some space to those that are trying to do both

  by AllTimeJeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i didn't mean being real and trying to heal to rhyme, but essentially, that's why people come here.

  and depending on where we are, we need space.

  when you leave, one thing you will learn, quickly or otherwise, is what is reality.

  It is OFFICIAL they want MORE MONEY : NEW ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

  by raymond frantz in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i just came back from the meeting .although the local announcements have been abolished recently as an item for the second part , an elder came on the platform to announce that the society needs more money and there is a letter on the noticeboard for all the congragation to read to this effect.

  although the announcement was read half heartedly (this elder's daughter is an apostate ,it looks like he knows what's going on) the implictions are dramatic .

  the society in brief,requests any brother or sister with funds sitting on personal accounts to loan them to the society ,he didn't go into any specifics but i will take a picture of the letter next time and make it available here .. i'm not amazed that they're asking for money ,i thought it will happen sooner or later .what i'm amazed is that 99% of the congragation are oblivious to the financial crisis that the society finds itself these days and the reasons why .i can see the future now .the watchtower will be the fist part of the babylon the great to go down in a blaze of scandals and financial troubles !.

  They can scream and demand all they want but the waters are drying up. The generation that gave the most financially is dwindling. The new generation doesn't have any extra disposible cash to give to the society.

  Greetings! From an Existent JW!

  by Ethos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'd like extend a greeting to all members of jwn.

  i've been a lurking by-stander of this forum for approximately 6 months.

  i think this forum's best moments can be attributed to the involvement of actual jw's in doctrinaire discussions and to heated (though not always dialectic) debates.

  Nice to meet you Ethos.

  I an intrigued by your comments and look forward to your thoughts. I do feel As Loubelle that after much reading, there is no need to prove anything, unless of course you are trying to prove something to yourself.

  As to suggestions for what you should read---Start with The faithful and discreet slave. Enter the term in the search engine and start reading. You will be amazed at the wealth of information from educated members of this board.

  I do want to commend you for bucking the organizational trend and coming to place such as JWD.
