I learned that the message at the door is far different than the reality at the hall

What did you learn as a JW?
by JH inwith 5 meetings a week plus field service, and additional reading of the bible and watchtower literature, what did you learn after all these years in the jw organization?
did we need all those meetings and time and effort just to know some simple details?
in all these years i spent there, this is just about all i can say i learned there: .

Is it me or are the Watchtower Publications disappearing ??????
by run dont walk ini was at the hospital the other day in the waiting room for about 2 hours with a friend, and i noticed only one awake magazine from 2000 in the pile of reading material.. i always thought that the watchtower was trying to "preach the good news to all the inhabited earth before the end comes".
well , they don't like the internet, which is the # 1 way to inform people, you cannot get a subscription anymore unless someone at the hall does it for you or you are still attending, probaly why i didn't see any at the hospital, or lawyers office, or doctor's office etc etc etc.. it seems to me that they are trying to limit what info gets out to the outside world, is this not contradicting all they have preached the last 50 years.. no subscriptions for anyone who might want one ?????????.
no new books, for anyone who is not a jw.. what do you think ????????.

I've seen 2 magazines in over a year. one in a hospital, the other in a laundry mat. Makes me wonder how everyone is starting their "time"

After stepping down from being an elder I was removed from being a pioneer for saying that I wanted to kiss a single sister. The real issue was I did not get along with the P.O. and decided to move to another hall to try to save my sanity. They did not want to look bad. I aux. pioneered in my new hall right away to save face. How stupid was that?

Can we have a recreational overseer. That way we can keep score at softball games, go to professional sporting events early so we don't look stupid sitting in our seat or hidding in the can when those "patriotic" songs are sung. A recreational overseer can arrange little league games for our children, lets say every Sat. morning. How many of your kids will be crying for a juice and doughnut at 10:30? They might even want to get up on Sat. mornings.

Whats the craziest thing you've done at the Kingdom hall?
by yxl1 ini was given the "privilege" to open the kh early to switch on the heating.

Tried to break into the kingdom hall with another brother to post a letter on the information board regarding what was wrong with the local body of elders. We got in and could not reset the Damn alarm before it went off. WE BOOKED IT. No posting of the letter, but it was fun to see the P.O. in his jammies with the cops.
