I work outside for a living. I always see them walking slower than a turtle and talking to each other as they go house-to-house. They meet at the end of each block and talk some more. They walk slowly up the stairs and even slower down. We know that the WTS has given everyone to do their dirty work. Get your 2 hours in every week and WTS will leave you alone.

They judge everyone. They want everyone to think and act like them. They look over their shoulders to see who's watching to make a good impression. They have cliques. Elders always hang around with other Elders,Pioneers with Pioneers, and anyone from Bethel walks on a red carpet. If you are spiritually weak,they treat you like you have a disease that they don't want any part of.
I have many more but will let others have their say.

14) Giving priority to goals that honor Jehovah is the wisest course but by no means the easiest. When it comes to choosing a career, for example, you may come under a great deal of pressure from relatives, peers, and well-meaning educators who believe that a higher education and a lucrative career are the keys to true success and happiness. (Romans 12:2) Like Timothy, you will need to "fight the fine fight of the faith" in order to "get a firm hold on the everlasting life" that Jehovah holds out to you.-1 Timothy 6:12; 2 Timothy 3:12.
School Counselor: ''James,your parents and I are really concerned and we will pressure you to no end until you choose a lucrative career and have success and happiness."
Jim : "Mr School Counselor'', I decided to not pursue any higher education. I will pioneer for the summer and start either washing windows,become a janitor,and other manual jobs that will let me pioneer and ''get a firm hold on the everlasting life.'' The Society says that the "End" is around the corner and true happiness and success only comes from being a true servant of Jehovah."
Blondie Thank you for sifting thru this muck and garbage !

He managed to give his talk at the same Assembly and left after his part to go back to the hospital. There was an Elder who's mother-in-law was buried in the morning. He made his wife attend the Book Study that same evening. What a moron!
Where there any cases where some members should not have been at the meeting but still managed to attend?

Comments You Will Not Hear at the 6-17-07 WT Study (DO NOT PUT APART)
by blondie indo not put apart what god has yoked together.
therefore, what god has yoked together let no man put apart.
(b) why do the principles found in god's word really work, even when problems arise in a marriage?.

RULES & REGULATIONS
3) In the modern world (non jws), when some couples encounter problems, their first reaction is to end the marriage. In many lands, divorce rates are spiraling out of control. However, true Christians handle problems rather than run from them. Why? Because they view marriage as a sacred gift from Jehovah. Jesus said regarding married couples: "What God has yoked together let no man put apart." (Matthew 19:6) Granted, living by that standard is not always easy. For instance, relatives and others--including some marriage counselors--who do not recognize Bible principles often encourage couples to separate or divorce on unscriptural grounds.* (Footnote: *- See the box "Divorce and Separation" in Awake! February 8, 2002, page 10, published by Jehovah's Witnesses.)(see below) But Christians know that it is far better to repair and maintain a marriage than to dissolve it hastily. Indeed, it is vital that at the outset we resolve to do things Jehovah's way--not according to the counsel of others.-Proverbs 14:12.
In my congregation which had only 56 publishers,there have been 6 divorces due to infidelity. Each one left very quickly after being caught. Now,none of them are paying child support. It seems funny when I read that "true Christians handle problems rather than run from them." Who writes this crap? The divorce rate at the Kingdom Halls are just about the same as"the modern world(non JWS). They are just better in hiding all the dirt. Why don't they ever address the issue of divorces in the ''TRUE CONGREGATION'' ?

what was the strangest/worst counsel you recieved from elders ?
by flipper inhaving been in the organization for 30 years, after i got out i reflected on this.
as a teenager i was told to not let my hair grow over my ears because i might stumble other young ones in the congregation.
also, in order to carry the microphones i was told i couldn't wear white socks, had to wear black or dark blue socks.

We know that the whole objective of the preaching work is to place( sell ) magazines and books. The labor is free from the warehouse to the distribution at the door. They preach today's bad news and topics from the Bible. But, when they finish some printed material is always introduced. If the printing of reading material stopped,what would the preaching sound like? Aren't they really lost without them offering reading material? Do they really know anything besides introductions?

Going to the meetings has been his only passion. But,it saddens me that he will never see the end. The WTS has lied from their beginning and continues to lie today just for the sake of keeping their business going. What a waste of time for my Uncle who could of done something better with his life!

by RULES & REGULATIONS inpaul states in galatians 2:16,. .
"knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of jesus christ, even we have believed in jesus christ, that we might be justified by the faith of christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
did you ever wonder if you were just an employee of the wts?

Why the so formal attire?
by greendawn inhaving visited various churches i have seen that many of their members are casually dressed while worshipping.
the contrast with the jws is great, why do they always have to be formally dressed in their suits and anyone wishing to dress casually is frowned upon?
it goes to show how pharisaic and controlling the cult is.

I quit attending the "Book Study" about 18 years ago. We had the hottest summer ever where it was 105 degrees that day. We had a "Book Study" at my Uncle's house who didn't turn on his central air conditioner(He was too cheap to turn it on). It must of been around 100 degrees inside with no air to breath. They let us take our suit jackets off but we still had long sleeve shirts and ties on. One sister passed out and she had to be taken outside because it was cooler outside than inside.
That's why I no longer attend.
