National Average = Quotas
by zack inthe national average for publishers reporting feild service time in the untited states is just under 10 hours a month.
this has become the de facto standard for every member of the congregation.
if one fails to produce at the rate of others, he is "weak", his service is "divided", he puts the things of "this life" in "first place.".

Your Choice: Lies, Confusion, or Drift - Which? (Mar 15 WT)
by metatron inthe march 15 watchtower contains two items about the blood issue.. first, it mentions a young witness named elena, who as "one of jehovah's witnesses,.
would not donate blood or accept blood transfusions" (pg18).. second, it contains a question from readers that appears as perfect an example of muddled.
watchtower-think as could ever be imagined.

Mindless Meetings and Bored Dubs
by TheListener in"we'd like to excuse those that have talks in the second school, and those that would like to listen.".
alright, so i am sitting at the meeting last week and i hear that very typical repetitive announcement.
i start to look around and i realize that it is the same people every week who go to the back to sit in the second school.

How long since you been out in service?
by freedom96 init must be about 13 years since i went out in service.
about 15 years since i went out a couple times a month, and about 18 years since i went at least once a week.. i just can't imagine going from door to door anymore.
but to think that we all did it for quite awhile.

Who's Counting "hours"?.... look again!
by upside/down inone time while out in service we saw some mormon's working the same territory.. the inevitable put-down comment was made that "they" only put in two years of "missionary" work in, then their church helps them financially to get "set" in the business world (bastards!).
unlike "us" (the dubs) who slave for the lord our whole life.
and get nothing (in this life).. so i started to do the math... if you just go strictly by "witness" standards of weights and measurements (counting "time"), here's what i came up with:.
