I Want Proof Jesus Even Existed

by Farkel in

don't bother me with the josephus addendum.

i've already seen that debunked.. i am quite aware of the fact that the only evidence of jesus comes from his own followers who didn't even bother to write down his life for decades after jesus "died.

" don't know about you, but if i saw all that shit, i would have gone home and written three books about it that same day!.

How Have you Counted your time for Pioneering?

by jehu or jehonadab in

just woundering how have you counted your time in field service especially if you were pioneering?.

would like to see if any of you were on the same page as i was.

with so much to do, like reading all the watchtower and awake each month and the bible reading each week.

I was a 'fake' pioneer and no one suspected it. It started out as me thinking if I became a pioneer then I would stay spiritually focused as I already was sinking and getting bored with it. I was not raised a witness and only one for 4 yrs before I pioneering. The first month I could not make the hours, I just had no more 'zeal' for the preaching anymore. So, I was feeling guilty and just made up the hours telling myself I would make them up the next month. Following month came, nope; hours got worse. By the time it was january/february I was doing 2 hrs a month then 0 hrs. NO ONEnoticed!!! I made all the meetings though so they wouldn't suspect anything. There were 16 pioneers in the congregation too, all very groupy to one another. Spring came and my husband made more hours than me and he only got out 1 or 2 times per month. I didn't tell him though, fear he would be upset. So, I promised myself I would not be a 'pioneer' the following service year and then I would give free time in the months and not record it. Yeah right. So, I went to pioneer school then that summer for the first time with all the other 'real' pioneers. Why do they hold that meeting from non pioneers? It's nothing different then what you already know. So ridiculous. Didn't feel very special from anyone, I know they want you to feel elevated.

So, after that service year (where I put probably 30ish hours in the whole year) I told elders I do not want to pioneer the new year. At 4 months later they give me the 'encouraging' speech to make sure I keep up 'high' hours that I supposedly did before. They were upset I was putting 2 hrs on my slip and I should encourage others to be a pioneer. Hey, at least I was then being honest about my time!!!! Well, during that little 'uplifting meeting' from these elders, they also informed my husband he was not holding the microphone (for several months now) due to the fact he doesn't have the national average for service time. Um, how do they get that average but to add various numbers from publishers averaging from 1 hour to 30 or more hours per month? The national average really isn't true.

Long story short, that elder meeting was the last time we were in a witness building for 3 yrs now!! Cult!! Hooray!!!
