  My Last thoughts in Field Service Before the Elderly Man Shat Himself and Pissed his pants in My New Car!

  debating this was going to be the last day in field service was not hard after dealing with a nasty mess because i was grouped with the misfits of the kingdom hall!

  i was reading this website on my phone while something started to stink in my car and one of the weird kids nobody wanted to work with yelled "hey, you leaking all over my seat, he was freaked out too!

  " the older, retired elder, his pioneer daughter had forgotten to put his depends on and that became my problem.

  Man, this just brings back a flood of terrible memories, the damage and abuse to my car, the appointed men avoiding the hard service work, the pointless driving around, but I have to say I never once experienced anything as bad as that.

  One of the most common issues was mothers who'd drop their kids off at the kingdom hall for field service as a substitute for day care and would make looking after them the congregation's problem. When I was a 17 year old pioneer I'd often find myself out in service with 3 or 4 children. Can you imagine having a teenager and four elementary school aged kids knock on your door peddling religious literature?

  Another issue was people simply not showing up when field service arrangement had already been made. Early morning service was quite popular in my area. We would typically meet at 6:00 a.m. and half the time the people I'd made arrangement with simply wouldn't show up, no last minute cancellation call or anything.

  War is peace.

  Freedom is slavery.

  Ignorance is strength.

  And we have always been at war with Eastasia.

  This is consistent with the usual contempt leadership shows the public and the rank and file members, similar to the perpetual deficit scam they run at assemblies. Keep the masses in the dark about what's really going on. After all, they're not entitled to the full truth, just the part the governing body feels they need to know.

  May’s ‘study WT’ admits having taught “far-fetched” ideas

  by wheelwithinwheel in

  not on the front page, not in the study articles, but carefully camouflaged in the questions from readers on page 18 (watchtower march 15, 2015).

  you can bet most jws wont even read it..

  there is no apology...just the usual excuses..

  Didn't CoC mention how those questions from readers articles were not ever really questions from any readers. That was just a lying title to go above the lying brainwashing.

  I mean, it's not like they provide an address to mail questions to. Pretty obvious ruse.

  why did man go from living 900 years to 90?

  by sowhatnow in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i cant recall the scripture, where it says than only a few men will he live to be 80 years or so, can anyone recall that?.

  so then im wondering, if it is a fact that men lived long years 900 in some cases, for what reason would god limit our lifespan if our time is so short compared to his?.

  how on earth does man go from living 8 and 9 hundred years down to 80 to 100 ?.

  This was supposed to have blanketed out much of the harmful radiation from reaching the Biosphere layers.

  Evidently, radiation is responsible for a 90% drop in life expectancy.

  Stupid doctors are full of shit, man. I don't know about you, but imma start applying a 1/4 inch coat of SPF 200 every day. That oughta be good for an extra decade or two.

  Questions for those that believe in Electricity

  by OnTheWayOut in

  you can't see electricity or hear it or feel it.

  well, there are sparks and lightning bolts and heating elements and the light and heat of filaments.

  and somehow, it lights up neon in a tube.

  That's a good point about technology. They even had a radio station back then.

  I guess from my vantage point I look at JW TV as a symbol of everything that's changed in the past 10 years, but I see your point. While it may be something completely new to today's Witnesses, it would be consistent with the general outlook they had in the 40s.

  What would the folks in the pictures think of JW TV, assuming they didn't live long enough to see it for themselves?
