BEARDS: Why JW men don't have them
by 00DAD ini know this has been dished over before, but when i was doing some research i discovered a couple of interesting points.

Latest Watchtower page 30... They have some nerve to put this!
by TimothyT inone thing that i have always noticed even when i was a jw is that the jw org has lots and lots and lots of rules for allsorts of stupid petty rules which make no difference.
when you read the bible you see how they are clearly in the wrong here and are acting like the pharisees themselves, who imposed so much pressure on others to conform to the law.
am i missing something here!?!?

Welfare Elders
by hoser ini had wanted to start this topic before but never had a chance.
i'm sure it's been dealt with before so i apologize in advance for bringing up again.. .
do you know of or ever know of elders who do the very minimum to work so that they can get the maximum child allowance, food stamps, medicaid etc?.

Had dinner with friends-found out none of got Baptized because we loved God
by PaintedToeNail inmy spouse and i had supper with some long time friends this evening.
we got onto the subject of baptisim, and out of the four of us, we all got baptized for some other reason than love of jehovah.
i find this to be really sad.

New Field Service Policy - jw's assigned to neighborhoods
by skeeter1 ini am looking for confirmation on the following:.
jws are now being individually assigned to smaller territories, and they are told to consistently work that same territory over & over again.
the reason is that the watchtower wants the jws to build relationships with the people in that area.

untitled
by PrincessCynic inso i've got a huge pile of magazines that i took from the literature desk but never got round to going out in field circus to place them.
oops!
i'm wondering if i could put them to better use.. this could be helpful for any of you faders who have annoying jw relatives who insist on bringing the latest rags round every month, or those of you still in who want to do the public a favour by removing them from the hall and not placing them.

Looking for Watchtower images of Sisters
by jwfacts incan anyone recall or have scans of some watchtower images of sisters?
i am particularly interested in those that show the headship arrangement, such as a sister displaying submission to a husband or elder.
even better, have there been any images of sisters wearing head coverings.

Do JW's Have A Tribulation Plan
by Pig init is likely that at some time or other there will be a major shtf scenario.. my parents always talked of all going to the kingdom hall and waiting it out while god destroyed the evil people.. but bethal doesnt actually have food stocks and medical stocks, does it?
they dont have a plan to distribute essential supplies to groups of jw's residing on watchtower owned land, do they?.
if there is a ww3 and the watchtower says "ok this is it, this is the big a" then what?.

Comparing time spent door to door preaching versus time spent door to door window cleaning
by ThomasCovenant ini got to thinking this yesterday.
in the past i have done a fair bit of window cleaning like many a jw.
one motto that we (fellow jw window cleaners) used to say was ''time is money''.. occasionally, to help with pricing and efficiency we used to count and record how long each house would take.
