What % of householders would have a clue about the "life saving " message JW`s have brought to their doors these past 100 years.

by smiddy in

i`m an optimist and i would say zilch .

i would bet you a million dollars ( if i had a million dollars ) that if you did a survey in the street that you live , asking the householders what is the life saving message jehovahs witnesses bring to your door on a regular basis , they would not have a clue.. and they have been preaching this message for over 100 years .

how inefective can they be .. the probable answers you would get are : they dont take blood transfusions.

Are you kidding me? How many JW's even have a clue about a life saving message? At least 4 pepole per car drive around Saturday morning making a 'call' here and a 'call' there to 'kill' some time before 'break'. After 'break' they make one final 'call' so their time can continue. Occasionally, they may "work" a street where 99% aren't home or don't answer the door. It's only about reporting TIME not a life saving message.

First question asked at a BOE meeting when discussing appointing another Elder or MS is;; (drum roll) "How's his time?"

First question the BOE usually asks of the 'pioneers' is;;(drum roll) "How are you doing with your time?"

More Pioneers. lol

My wife's best friend starting 'pioneering' last year. It was her "heart's desire". She has about 8 BS's but here is the kicker. She studies (baby sits) with 4 kids from the same family of a inactive mother. 4 hours at the same home (baby sitting) studing? Very creative ways to report hours. Heck, I report 3-4 hours per month just to keep the brothers from bothering me. I haven't been in field service for 2 years but I need to keep up appearances until my famnily sees ttatt. Got to report 20 hours per month during KH build a couple of years ago. Scared service they call it. I mean 'sacred service'.

My wife is starting to see the hipocracy and one of my son's sees it clearly but he has a very born-in wife.

Drinking at meetings / assemblies / conventions ... who's done it?

by HarryMac in

for me .... 1).

last district convention after having 'read up' (took some family to it).. 2).

last 'meeting' to watch step-father-in-law finally get his and get disfellowshipped for molestation.. ...both were taking vodka shots in the bathroom.. i'm sure there's lots of good stories out there..

The RBC brothers here in central California use 'quick builds' to together with their drinking buddies after the day's work. One of the 'head' brothers even said that was what he liked most about being RBC, didn't have to go home to his wife and got to hang out with his drinking buddies. Lots of drinking after the r and f go home during the so called 'quick builds'.

Looks like Jan 2014 WT missed some dates in this paragraph...anyone want to fill in some dates the GB missed out?

by KateWild in

12 since the establishment of the kingdom in 1914, the king has refined the way gods servants are organized to do his fathers will.

(read isaiah 60:17.

) in 1919, a service director was appointed in each congregation to take the lead in the preaching work.

April 4, 1975 when Microsoft was born and the internet started to in form JW's of our sorrid past!

Disneyland's: The Haunted Mansion. Is it for True Christians or is it full of Demonzzss and JW's should stay away?

bro "elder" took his family to disneyland.

the first day, he did not want them to go on this "demonic" ride.

So says the WTBTS:

Birthdays are wrong because of 'pagan origin'

Christmas is wrong because of 'pagan origin'

Thanksgiving is wrong because of 'pagan origin'

Toasting is wrong because of 'pagan origin'

Blah, blah, blah, is wrong because of 'pagan origin'

DISNEYLAND IS OK DESPITE IT'S OBVIOUS CONNECTION TO MAGIC, WITCHES, ETC.

It's like Doug Mason says, 'JW's obey the GB because of WHO they claim to be, not because of WHAT the say.'

I have often wondered why the WTBTS hasn't told JW's not to go to Disneyland. After all it is the "Magic Kingdom" right? JW's can't celebrate anything that is or could be remotely pagan in origin, right? But something that promotes or that is even remotely associated with magic is okay. right? Just another example of stupid reasoning (unreasoning).

Most Irritating Thing About The Jw's

by integ in

for me it is the smugness.

it's their inability and refusal to admit they are wrong....ever...even in the face of irrefutable evidence.

isn't pride a sin?

eyeuse2badub

Smugness is what woke me up after 60+ years.

LURKERS, FENCE-SITTING JW'S and FADERS, here is your LIST

by Terry in

1.you cannot change what you refuse to confront.. look at how you are feeling most of the time.

that sense of going nowhere and feeling down is not because you aren't spritual enough.

it is because you are filling your life with empty purpose brought to you courtesy of the watch tower bible and tract society!.

eyeuse2badub

Does any of that sound like they truly BELIEVE the end of the world is coming tomorrow?

Doc

JW's are just following the lead of the GB and their new building projects which will take years to complete. Do you really think the GB is expecting the big A anytime sooooooooooon?

Sadly, fading is bad for my marriage

by stillin in

while headship has always been a problem in my marriage, partly because i'm more of a team player and my wife has man issues, now that i'm clearly fading my wife feels that i have nothing of worth to say.. i resist the idea of divorce but this is not much of a marriage.

since she doesn't/ can't hold down a job alimony would be ridiculously expensive.

cheaper to keep her, as they say.. i get zero cooperation or even discussion for any adjustments i feel might be in order for us as we grow older: obabmacare?

eyeuse2badub

So sad that a cult can ruin your married life. I'm feelin it also. O well, I swallowed the weekly pill for 60+ years so I know the shock that my wife must feel now that I no longer get giddy over 'theocratic' stuff. It's the price one pays to live a 'real life'.

How to prove God does not exist?

by UBM101 in

many times (almost all the time) atheists asking for proof of god's existence from those who believe that god exists.

perhaps at times they should prove he doesn't exist.

any taker?

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
