How long do they tolerate you being "spiritually weak" in the beginning...
by Check_Your_Premises in...before they give up on you and just label you as a theocratic slacker/outcast?.
i have picked up that many in our congregation are considered weak or irregular.
it appears that they are "encouraged" but eventually they are given up on and considered a "bad association".. my wife, even when she is at her most dubbed out, only makes field service twice a week, and she can only keep that up for a couple weeks.

Question regarding service time, irregular status, and inactive status...
by Check_Your_Premises inso let me see if i got this straight.... to be a publisher you have to have 10 hours a month.
if you miss that target you are "irregular".
if you miss that target for six consecutive months you are "inactive".. what if you get your time in but miss all the meetings?

Who is Jehovah in the view of orthodox theology?
by Check_Your_Premises ini always figured jehovah was the father, jesus was the son, and we don't know what to call the holy spirit.
is this the orthodox view?.
but if god is triune in nature and all that, is jehovah the name for all 3 dudes lumped together, or is it just the name for the father?.

JW's and the problem of pain
by Check_Your_Premises inmost jw beliefs and practices i have been able to trace down to some basic motivation of belief.
one that still eludes me is how the jw address the issue of reconciling the idea of a benevolent creator with the fact of human misery that nobody can expect to be immune from.
i am not talking about the kind of stuff we bring on ourselves by living self destructive lives.

How many themes are covered in the WT articles?
by Check_Your_Premises ini love data.
especially in charts.
i can visually "see" things that i just can't by relying on memory and current perceptions.. i thought an interesting peice of data to track over time is the "type" of articles published by the wt.

What kind of safety precautions do dubs take for field service?
by Check_Your_Premises indo they provide guidelines about safely entering homes?.
if a jw enters a home for the first time, what kind of safety precautions are taken by the car group to ensure the safety of the jw?.
for instance i was shocked to find out my jw wife wasn't instructed by the elders as to which homes belonged to registered sex offenders.

UBM Point to ponder: Where do we fit into the equation
by Check_Your_Premises ini am reading the emotionally abusive relationship: how to stop being abused, how to stop abusing.. .
it has been an enlightening read to say the least.
i turned toward this topic due to ladylee's constant reminders that cults are simply another form of abusive relationship.. .
