What if.... the JW's didn't have to turn in service reports?
by dissed inwhen i was a youngin at bethel in the 70's, a bethel elder mentioned to our crew that they were discussing the possibility of ending service reports.
he wanted to know our thoughts and how could the elders and the wts monitor the preaching work if they changed the service reporting?
would the work go down without the monitoring?.

The phrase "The Truth"
by lepermessiah inso, i am curious..... how many of you have a hard time getting that phrase out of your vocabulary?.
i have been conscienciously trying not to use it at all, so now when i am in a conversation with a jw, its amazing how often they use that phrase.
i look back and wonder "god, did i say that that often?

Are you an 'Ex Witness' or just you?
by creativhoney ini just wondered how people feel about this?
- do some only mix with other ex witnesses a couple of my friends, and it seems that by definition, they are 'ex witnesses' almost like a religion in itself.
- i would never define myself as an 'ex employee of xxx' as you leave it behind it doesnt define you.

Witness girl in the metro
by the real life inthis morning on my way to work, i saw a girl reading a new world translation in the metro.
i live in paris and i don't see witnesses very often, except occasionally holding out magazines in the street looking grumpy.. i had the urge to talk to her.
my reaction is different every time i see witnesses.
