Did anyone just get tired?

by woodmonkey in

during my days as a witness, which was only about 10 years ending circa 1981, most of my memories revolve around how totally exhausted i always felt.

toward the last, i was dragging my family out to the five meetings a week and working fulltime and getting my quota of publisher hours on the little sheet every month, even doing the temporary pioneering bit now and again.

when i had the ministry school, i even worked a four day week to be able to give every talk on the program in case someone did not show up, which frequently happened in our little congregation west of fort worth, tx.

Even today it makes me mentally tired to think about how I ran myself and my family into the ground back those many years ago. Anyone else had that experience? Or was I just a wimp?

Not exactly but I'm glad I don't have to do all that BS anymore.

I remember using vacation days to prepare talks how ridiculous.

wimp? no, they tie up heavy burdens and lay them on mens shoulders. Matt. 23

WTS' use of "Presumptuousness." Calling the kettle black...

by Confession in

in putting some final touches on the letter to my mother (yes the one i've been preparing for about six months,) i came across this article from a 1984 watchtower.

beware of presumptuousness!.

who does not want to avoid making mistakes?

moomanchu

Maybe its time to let go of both mothers.

I think just one mother.

The WT isn't presumptuous they say they are in eager expectation and anxious and hoping for things to happen.

BS

moomanchu

my Dad was wondering why no one was stoppping by to see me. It was really hard cause I grew up with these guys and I know they are good guys. I said they could, but know I'm wondering what I'm going to say. I know they want to set up a study with my son

Sounds like my dad.

Big reason for me stopping the whole madness was to spare my son from having

the WT demons in his head don't let them do it!

i remember at an assembly someone saying "oh yeh thats such and such, he's annointed...you can really tell" or something like that.. are those claiming, that they are annointed nutters?
