Jehovah's Witnesses Called At My Door
by Roger Kirkpatrick inlast saturday morning, i answered a knock at my door to see a man standing next to a young boy who handed me a pamphlet posing the question, "how do you view the bible?
would you say it is (1) a book of human wisdom?
(2) a book of myths and legends?

I asked the boy which answer he would choose. He chose answer #3, opening the pamphlet to reveal the following quotation: "All scripture is inspired of God." (2 Timothy 3:16, New World Translation)
"All scripture is inspired of God." ...said every human who wrote something that ended up in the Bible.

Something more than physical life.
by Charles Gillette inmost every night, where i work i transport dead persons to the morgue.
others i work with have told me that around 3:00am they hear voices in the morgue.. i asked them have they experienced something more than physical life?
just the voices inside the cold morgue.

Others I work with have told me that around 3:00am they hear voices in the morgue.
People who feel ordinary and or have nothing much to say on their own often like to have a story to tell and they even start believing them after they've told them long enough.
These stories are always fear based. If they're going to hang around after death, why is it that the spirits in these stories never do anything fun like go to the beach or to Disneyland? They always lurk about in dark lonely places....the same places they were afraid of when they were alive.
Billions of people have lived and died on this earth. It seems like there's been enough of them that have come and gone that we'd all have had at least one encounter with a lingering spirit, in our own lifetime.

Looks like fun....too bad we were shown from the Bible how the end was too near to be spending time on such frivolities and that we shouldn't be drawing attention to ourselves instead of the serious message we were commissioned to preach. Anything other than what was organized by the Governing Body, was frowned upon and considered overstepping our place in the organization.

by purrpurr inhave you ever heard of a jw minor getting disfellowshipped and their parents then throwing them out of home?

unsurprisingly as an adult he's never returned to his mother or the wt .

In the U.S. parents are legally obligated to support their minor children.
Imagine the "reproach" that could be heaped upon the congregation if the kids in question went to the authorities or the local news or newspaper.

Are the younger generation taking on roles in the Cong?
by purrpurr ini notice that several of the congs i've been to seem to have a majority of the male roles performed by older men.
very few young men are wanting to be ms or elders etc.
it also seems like very few young people are being pioneers either.. would you agree with this?

Are the younger generation taking on roles in the congregation.
I suspect the only roles being taken on are the Cinnamon Rolls and Jelly Rolls they consume during their coffee break, 8 minutes after they've knocked on the first door.

Watchtower Study Edition - April 2019....Thank you for not doing enough in the field ministry
by RULES & REGULATIONS inwatchtower study edition- april 2019. are you fully accomplishing your ministry?.
the study article starts off with praise and admiration for members who are out in the field ministry.
the wtbts understand that you have family responsibilities, work, get sick, and have pains due to aging.

Simply put, to accomplish our ministry fully, we must have as full a share as possible in the preaching and teaching work.
They say they want you to be effective in your ministry but I'm convinced that the GB aren't concerned in the slightest, with the closeness of the end or getting the word out. Imagine what would happen if a wealthy JW or a group of JW's wanted to "fully accomplish" their ministry by purchasing television air time to give the same presentation they would have in used the door to door ministry. They'd say they were running past Jehovah's celestial chariot and not humbly following the direction of the "Slave" who in reality want to keep their members on a never ending treadmill of busy work.

Research Opportunity
by researchstudentsophie inmy name is sophie mueller, and i’m currently in the class ap research.
the aim of ap research is to have students enter into an academic conversation that exists about a specific topic or issue.
for my research project, i have chosen to evaluate the social stress levels, or sense of belonging, within members of the jehovah’s witnesses community, due to my personal background with the religion.

Normally I'd never say something like this but the answer to your question is a resounding- Yes.
Her name was Peggy (fatty) McMonogle and his name was Jerry. Jerry (allegedly) told her everything that went on behind closed doors and she'd (allegedly)drop hints to let people know that she knew things about them, then she'd waddle away with a smirk across that buck-toothed face of hers, looking quite pleased with herself.
After passing judgment on scores of congregation members for years, Jerry (allegedly) ended up cheating on Ol' Fatty (don't blame him) with some chain smoking hag of a woman from his job and was removed as an Elder. They split up and she had to go out to work for the first time in her live in her 50's and got a good dose of reality out in the real world. Last I heard, her ignorant clod of a husband was still stuck hanging drywall well into his 50's despite his back and knee troubles. (maybe there is a god, after all )
Do I sound bitter?? That's good, because I am.
In the end, Fatty M. and Jerry got what they deserved, as far as I'm concerned...they caused a lot of damage. The only thing good that came of it was that their conduct woke my family up with out me having to say a word.
( allegedly sometimes means it happened, but you didn't hear it from me)
