  Blonde,

  I was going through chemotherapy and lost some of my hair about 12 years ago. So, I started to shave my head to make it look more "presentable" in field service. At the next midweek meeting, I got pulled into the back room for some counsel about my shaved head. I was so stupid in thinking they were going to offer me assistance for what I was going through. Boy, I was dumb! After my next session of Chemo, I laid on the bathroom floor in a fetal position, sick as a dog, pondering how my shaved head was a distraction to the preaching work (Yeah, that was dripping with sarcasm).

  Now, many years removed, I shave my head, wear a goatee, and don't care what those men have to say.

  Please speak English.

  Fyi...
  

  Hourly reports were nothing more than old-fashioned indulgences.
  I may be imperfect and (God forbid) an employee, but I go to work 10 hours a month.
  If you take away this indulgence from the victims of the sect, donating comes into focus.
  
  The call to preach is now even louder.
  
  With the purpose, all the more, of creating a bad conscience.
  
  The term “field service” and “field service literature” dates back to around 1914, when the Watchtower Society sent the brothers into the trenches for military service and German Jehovah's Witnesses shot English Jehovah's Witnesses.
  
  The old reflexes can last for over 100 years.
  
  The word “Proclaimer” becomes just another meaningless term in the Newspeak of the Watchtower language.
  
  I assume that the publisher's service card will soon have to disappear from the meeting documents.
  
  *** w88 11/15 p. 17 para. 9 Helping others to worship God ***
  The two elders will inform the student that if he qualifies and participates in the field service, he can submit a field service report and that a congregation publisher report card will be mailed in his name. This expresses his affiliation with the theocratic organization of Jehovah's Witnesses and his willingness to submit to it. (This also applies to anyone else who submits a field service report.)
  
  By creating the hourly report, each member (so far verifiable in writing) will be a little less of an active part of the organization in the future.
  
  By removing the requirement for all Witnesses to "turn in their hours," the Watchtower distances itself from the monthly routine of reporting to local elders, who report this raw data to the Watchtower's centralized databases.
  
  Because there is a crucial difference between the abuse cases of the Catholic Church and the Jehovah's Witnesses.
  
  Only perpetrators who are employees of the Catholic Church are considered church child molesters.
  Not every pedophile is automatically asked what faith they belong to and is then publicly and legally assigned to the church.
  
  It's different with Jehovah's Witnesses.
  
  Here, any publisher guilty of child abuse is considered an active part of the organization based on their monthly reports.
  
  Therefore, the sect only separates itself from its members.
  
  It's not a big loss anyway.
  
  This “preaching service” was the greatest waste of resources in human history anyway.
  
  *** syr22 p. 2 total numbers for 2022 ***
  Newly baptized: 145,552
  Total field service hours: 1,501,797,703
  
  10,317 hours per baptized person
  If a publisher works 10 hours a month, he would have to preach for 86 years before he finds someone to be baptized.
  If the publisher begins preaching at the age of 10 and lives to the age of 95...

  Mandated Shunning is a Crime

  by Lee Marsh in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  mandated shunning is on the rise around the world with devastating effects on millions of people.

  shunning that is mandated by organized groups to its members is a form of both physical and psychological violence against those people being shunned and cut off from their family and life-long relationships.

  mandated shunning means that the shunning is ordered from the top down.

  Lee Marsh said,

  "If you think “Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me” is true, then you have not had to endure even one of the above." That struck a bell for me and made me think.
  

  When I was a child I was taught the saying, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." At the time, I saw the sense of it. Words, being intangible, have no ability to inflict physical harm. Whenever another child said something mean to me, I would loudly recite the saying at them, using it like a magical incantation that would protect me from getting my feelings hurt. I usually said it with tears running down my cheeks.

  
  

  As an adult, I've come to see that the saying is, like many things taught to children, a lie. The truth is that bones heal, while the damage done by words can last a lifetime. I bring it up here only to remind those who write here of the power they wield. And that is the power to wound with words or use those same words to heal.

  
  

  So, how will you use your newfound power? Will you be the one who uses words to hurt? Or will you use them to heal? Having been a victim of verbal abuse, I certainly hope you will do the latter.

  Roe vs Wade Overturned by US Supreme Court!

  by Simon in

  2. current

  i know there was a leak a few weeks back, but this really does seem to have come out of the blue.. the anomaly was the original decision.

  it clearly had no basis in law or the constitution, and was a flimsy, ridiculous ruling.

  plus the whole thing was based on a fraudulent case in the first place.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61928898.

  According to this study, a person can't recall memories until after 2.5 years. I say we just allow abortions until then just in case it's not the right fit for you. I mean, let's be real here, a 1 or 2 year old has no viability if the mother didn't care for it, feed and clothe it, or nurture it.

  BTW...Simon, can you add a sarcasm font?

  my wife had a hip replacement on june the 17th and while the op itself was apparently succesful ,she has had a reaction to the anesthetic ?

  and has suffered delirium and is still in hospital with no apparent improvement.. its been very distressing for me to say the least.

  sorry if i sound a bit morbid but i just had to share,.

  Wow, I am so sorry. My dad after his first hip replacement had this happen. It took him over a month to get back to normal. It felt like an eternity to me. He didn't even know or remember who I was for a while. I hope and pray she recovers for you.
