How many of you know of instances where total devotion to the Borg resorted in financial ruin?
Here is an example of what one family I knew had to do to survive:
They were a family of four. Two young children. They inherited a farm with a huge piece of property. Life was good. Then....
1. they sold the farm so that they had more time for their door to door obligation
2. they ended up selling their home, bought a Winnebago took off from Upstate NY to AZ. Lived in it a while then bought a used mobile home w.o. airconditioning (and that in 110°F summer temps)
3. they had no more money. They resorted to what they termed "Trashing" meaning, they would go to dumpsters, pick out things people discarded, sold them at the open flea-markets to have money to continue in the pioneer work. The sister told me that they even found a good package of pork chops, expiration date still good so they took it home to eat.
NOW....what kind of an example is that? What kind of reflection does that put on the WTBTS? That's how they care for their so called "SPECIAL PIONEERS"? Where they have to resort to being garbage pickers? I'm sorry, but I think the WTBTS is guilty of more than we all realize. And this family is still in the Borg.
Btw, I just spoke to that sister yesterday after 24 years hoping they were out of the Borg. Nope, and sadly, I didn't have the heart to tell her I was out, only because it would have been the last thing she wanted to hear. I only called in hopes of hearing better news, not to spread my good news which she wouldn't want to have heard anyway.

I probably read almost that many as well. I have a cool job that allows me to read all day. I used to hate reading until I realized it was "what" I was reading that turned me off to reading. Now that I can read what I want and not the boring, over my head WT & A rags, I love reading. I find myself either buying books through Amazon or Barnes & Noble every month. Sometimes on the avg. of every two weeks it seems. I've been reading all kinds of things from classics to non-fiction from mystery to self-help from religious to New Age and from college books to biographies. My interests keep growing. I'm not limited/restricted anymore. Hallelujah!

Mom's Awake ditching incident
by Junction-Guy inmy mom went to the doctor last week and while she was waiting to be seen she noticed that awake magazines were all over the lobby.
there wasnt any other magazines to be read.
she happened to look in a trash can and noticed that it was full of "worldly" magazines.

REBORNAGAIN
Boy, the nerve of some people to trash the OTHER magazines and leave only the WT's crap behind. She should have complained to the receptionist or better yet to her doctor.
I was once in a doctors office and there happened to be an Awake mag. lying on a table. Since there was no wastepaper basket in the waiting room, I took it home, dumped it and this eliminated it from getting into anyone elses hands.

Cold Weather Dress Code for Witnesses
by WTWizard inwith the advent of cooler weather (at least in canada and the northern us), one might think of how the witnesses are going to cope.
for certain, dress codes are going to have different effects now than they did when it was broiling hot.. men are going to be more comfortable now.
cooler weather means that the coat is not going to create as much heat stroke risk as it did in the heat of mid summer.

REBORNAGAIN
As I had just posted to another comment, I too had to wear skirts in -20°F temperatures. BUT....some people did have brains. In Germany, even though it was never thaaaaat cold, the bro's did allow women to wear pants, if their coats were long enough to cover most of the pants. E.g. knee high boots, pants tucked in and the coat hanging just below the knee. Who would know if we had pants on.
After attending OTHER churches since leaving the Borg, and seeing people attend with jeans and t-shirts on, at first I didn't like it, but then I got to thinking, God loves all, no matter what they wear. Clothing do not make a person better than a bumb who wears rags. If we worship our higher source, He/She will appreciate the worship, no matter what we wear. Don't you think?
