  Who of you ever lied on your field service reports?

  by Julia Orwell in

  2. friends

  i've read a few people mention making up the figures for the field service reports, and i want to find out how common it is.

  i never lied on my report.

  sometimes i'd round up 15 minutes if i'd mentioned jw stuff to my brother that month, but that wasn't falsifying.

  I lie now. Every month as a matter of fact.

  But then again maybe

  its not really a lie. Afterall I pioneered for 20 years when the hourly requirements were 100 and 90. I figure I am just "borrowing" from the past.

  dear friends:.

  forty-five years ago i was out in service with an elder, and we came upon a house where the owners kindly received us.

  this was not so unusual as the family was jehovah's witnesses.

  THIS NEEDS ITS OWN THREAD:: TODAY's WT Paragraph 16

  by Lied2NoMore in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here is what got my spidey senses tingling: paragraph 16, reference to daniel p mannix book, was wondering if his statement was mis-quoted so i did my research.......but was even more shocked when i saw this: .

  from amazon dot com reviews................ probably the most provocative work of historical fiction published this century,"those who are about to die" is pure mannix at his best.

  a uncensured exploration of what likely took place in the circuses of ancient rome.

  As other have mentioned and in all fairness, historical fiction is generally based on events sorrounding the era and way of life of the time. Characters are usually fictional-but the setting is for the most part true to the events of the period.

  Funny you should mention this because there are no bibles to be had in the local congregations. --The idea is swirling around that maybe a revised edition is in the works. --Only rumor--

  Just be a friend. Tell him how much you have thought of him all these years, what you learned from him, what an amazing role model he was for you. Tollie sounds like an amazing human being.

  Happy to hear and very glad for you. I bet you feel like a ton of bricks has finally lifted from your back. You are young and have plenty of time to make a life for yourself and hopefully for your family apart from the org.

  warm regards
