How can COs and DOs Sabotage The Organization and Not Come Under
by frankiespeakin in.
how can cos & dos sabotage the organization and not come under the scrutinay of the service department?.
i'm sure there are many cos & dos that know the gb are liars but may be stuck in the work at the present, and so this thread is devoted to thing you can do to deliberately sabotage the control that the organization has over the friends.. while this threat has great potenial for humour lets see if we can share some ideas that double agents might use effectively.

Them thinking that pioneering is equal to my full time job!
by LongHairGal inthis was a topic that annoyed me and i got into a bit of an argument years ago over this.. some sister (who never worked a day in her life i might add) with the cushy life, affluent husband thought that because she pioneered it was equal to me having a full time secular job.
there were others there who naively thought the same thing.
somehow i gave them an inferiority complex because i worked so they had to dream this up to make themselves feel better.. while i agree that someone who pioneers may be physically tired at the end of the day, there is no comparison to what i have to deal with in going to and from and being on a full time job.

Society record keeping
by Jeffro inone month after writing a letter to the society directing that they destroy, or return to me, all records pertaining to me and today i received a phone call from one of the 'elders'.
(i sent this letter a few days after the elders announced that i was "no longer one of jehovah's witnesses" [though on the phone they had told me it would be announced that i had disassociated].
for the record i had explicitly directed 6 months ago that no such announcement be made because i have no status with the organization).. .
