Between the glazed look on the householders faces and the holes in their doctrines, it's only natural that JW's would gravitate towards the nearest donut shop when they're out in service.

Brother Tim Horton, the new service overseer
by dropoffyourkeylee instopped in tim horton's ( a donut shop) at 10:00 a m today and there were no less than 12 jws in there from three different car groups.
it took about 25-30 minutes for them all to get their orders and get on their way.
that's almost 6 hours of service time in the glorious 'ministry'.

Are You Easily Offended? ðŸ˜
by minimus ini'm sick and tired of everyone claiming to be "offended".
if you are not politically correct, you will need to apologize for some perceived slight.. when i was an elder, i purposely avoided as much as i could, anybody that got easily offended.

JWs have more good points than bad
by lsw1961 in1) many who were on the destructive path have been transformed by their teachings (this includes me who was once vicious, and presumptuous and atheistic).
2) equal monthly pay to all members of the bethel community regardless of whether they are bc members or sweepers.
this is something that still remains as an unattainable dream for the world.

I am not just believing this faith of good news of the new world, but already living this faith.
Faith is a word that is often used to feel ok about ourselves when our mind is closed and we have given up or can't be bothered looking any further.
For me new world is not just a promise to be realized in the future; I have made it a reality in my mind.
Sometimes we need delusions to keep us going. People who can successfully delude themselves until they come to grips with reality, often appear happier than the people who can’t.

@Isw1961
Raise your hand at the meeting and say the things you've said in your posts so far and admit that you are a regular visitor of this site and you'll be seeing the good qualities of Jehovah's Witnesses from a seat in the back room, right after the song and prayer. Don't forget to mention that thing you said about not going along with their shunning policy. They'll be interested to hear about that.
P.S. Many a lost person has turned their life around by joining an organization...any organization. (Boy Scouts, AA even Scientology )
As far as reading the daily text goes, remember Chairman Mao's "little red book" is considered one of the most printed and widely distributed books in history. (6.5 billion) and was mandatory reading for the Communist party and the military and it was unofficially mandatory for all Chinese citizens to own and carry a copy of the book. Organized daily indoctrination is standard fare among high control groups.
As a Bethelite I saw the equality you speak of, from the sidewalk while trudging through the snow on the way to the meeting which was a 45min subway ride into a dangerous neighborhood while the higer-ups passed us by in black Lincoln Town Cars.

Letter to be read at meeting this week about the downsize
by dropoffyourkeylee ina family member who is a bethelite informed me today that there is a letter to be read soon ( this week or next) concerning the downsizing.
so probably someone who has their midweek meeting early in the week will be able to fill in the details.

It doesn't matter what happens because anything can be interpreted in a positive way. If Jehovah sees fit to downsize his organization then the preaching work must be complete and the end is imminent.
JW's have no trouble looking forward with glee, to the whole human race being "downsized" so I guess a layoff of a few Bethelites is easy to turn a blind eye to.

London Bethelites Living on Their Nerves?
by The Searcher injust got home and received information from a source regarding london bethel: .
a bethel couple told my source that they are getting rid of about 20/25 bethelites every week and that if they are to go, they will get called in on a friday and given their leaving date.everyone is "on edge" and hoping that if they get the boot, they've got time to make alternative plans.. perhaps bethelites everywhere should apply this scripture, by looking for a job and accommodation now - and then just resign from their "vow of poverty" without giving advance warning.
(proverbs 22:3) "the shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself, but the inexperienced keep right on going and suffer the consequences.".

so i don't see why in time they cant be giving out watchtowers and awakes that are nine years old.
I agree, they've covered every imaginable Bible topic over the years....why don't they lay off most of the writing staff and just re-use what they've already got on file. No one will even notice.

With all the cutbacks, they can't afford to be throwing extra words around willy nilly.
