Check out snopes.com under "dropped chalk myths." These stories are all written the same and reflect the mentality of a six year old girl. If it was all really so simple then no one would argue it. I would ask suzie if she's see's all the babies god killed.

Please help! I have NO idea what to do with this!
by Elsewhere inat work we are supposed to setup "goals" for a "performance review" later in the year.
i *hate* things like this because i don't understand what i'm supposed to put in the document.
it is far too subjective with no defined requirements that i can wrap my brain around.

My only hint is try to keep them vauge. If you write increase performance by 100% and then in your review you haven't done that then you look like you're not meeting your goals. But if you are nice and vauge like "increase my effectiveness through quality." Then usually it is something that can't be confirmed. (i know it's BS but so is the whole program)

I haven't read anything seriously for years. Mostly i write at the meetings or make little origami cranes out of time slips. Though i am studing the SI book with my wife for our "family study." I am hoping that it will afford me the chance to point out biblical errors. (must be sudtle with her. i like her and all..)

When did having children become the right thing to do?
by james_woods inpossibly someone else who was around in the 1975-1980 time frame will remember this:.
it seemed to be that prior to 1975, the message on children was "wait until the new system".
however, it seemed to me at the time that after 1975 there was a popularization of child bearing.

I know that now they look down on anyone that might consider vasectomy or other forms of permanant birth control, and there is much talk about, "Gods" original purpose for marriage and sex. (iE having kids and families.)

Give that "check" back to Watchtower!
by Atlantis inkingdom ministry/2/00/p.-7/.
on occasion the society issues a check to an individual, and the payee decides not to cash it, thinking that it will be viewed as a donation to the worldwide work.
please be advised that after a period of time, such checks are viewed as unclaimed property, and the funds have to be turned over to the state.

When i left bethel my account balance, (from the monthly allowance) was like 200$. At my exit interview i signed a slip of paper giving it to them as a contribution. I guess the person who checked me out didn't file it correctly because every month for the next 6 i got a letter asking what i would like to do with the balance. Being a procrastinator i left it alone until they stopped sending the letters. I wonder if i could claim it now....

non-information
by DannyBloem inwhat was/is one of the most annoying things for me at the meetings, was the amount of non-information that the watchtower gives.. it is like rading the entire wt or whatever book and all that they basically say is like: preach more, or whatever.. when you look at the (mirrors of) the quotes site, you see very few interesting quotes of the last 25 years or so.
just because they basically do not say anything at all.
do you feel the same way?
