    So odd, it is like they think that by forcing people to preach it will fulfill some prophecy. Like wearing sunglasses can make the sun rise.

    I don’t know about everyone else but when I am passionate about something I don’t need someone to tell me to talk about it. Quite the opposite, people get sick of hearing about it from me. This site is a pretty good example of how you don't need to be forced to talk about your beliefs.

    mynameislame: a very good point. I did 'service', talking about the wtBts idea "God will stop all wars" before the fact that counting and reporting was ever introduced to me. that stopped when I discovered that Wt sanctioned internal war on innocents by their wt appointed herders.

    Numbers don't lie. Numbers mean progress. Numbers mean money. Numbers mean Jehovah's blessing.

    Requring each publisher to turn in time is highly stressful and fits in with an organization that uses coercive power over its followers.

    It's about accountability. Turning in time is not only a way to measure an idividuals spirituality or for those in charge to quantify or evaluate your relaitonship God but is also serves as a way to measure ones subjection to the organization. Many are not motivated by their love for human kind, they need a way to measure and compare themselves to others or to the group and they need a tagible way to prove their worth.

    Mommy, I placed 4 magazines in service today.

    Good boy Pete, you are making Jehovah's heart glad.
