Children should feel free to.....
by biblexaminer ini have one question to ask my local jw's, be they on the body, or be they higher up in the heirarchy.. it is this... .
watchtower literature tells me over and over again, that as a parent, i have to make my children feel that they can "freely speak" about whatever is troubling them.
the question is, at what age i should make them stop feeling this way, and help them to see the need to shut up, sit down, and quit rocking the boat.

Good Afternoon!
by VeniceIT inwell i know this isn't like my usual posts but bear with me.
i know there are blowups on this board, and i guess not everyone gets a long 100%, 100% of the time, but we all have a bond that keeps bringing us back--pain.
we here have all suffered at the hands a merciless cult, and i know many have sufferd more then the rest of us can ever comprehend.. i miss my family and friends, somedays it's almost more then i can bear, but get by.

Will You Make Room for Pioneering?
by TMS inregardless of scriptural implications, creating special categories of service such as colporteur, pioneer, special pioneer, etc.
was a brilliant move.. the prestige, status and few little perks associated with those committing to being full-time workers is miniscule compensation for their sacrifice of time, lifestyle, income and educational opportunities.. yes, the hour requirements have dropped on several occasions.
how many on the board know that the regular pioneer requirement was once 150 hours a month, then 1200 hours a year, than 1000, now 90-vacation/assembly time?.

A bedtime story for your children
by philo inpooh and piglet go preaching in the hundred-acre wood.. pooh and piglet were doing return-visits in the hundred-acre wood and wondering about things generally, especially pooh, who had forgotten his bible.. "i think i should try some more anointing, piglet," he said uncertainly.
everyone in the wood seemed to be not-at-home, and he was becoming a little low.. "yes please, pooh, please do," said piglet jumping up and down, "an oinking is always fun.
could i be the oin king for a change?".
