I guess they need some bethelite wannabes to un-bolt the printing presses from the floor so they can ship these upstate and flip the empty buildings during the next real estate boom... It shouldn't be too hard to find brothers looking to get out of field service for a while...

Pangs of Conscience - June 2011 KM
by dozy inthere is an article in the latest kingdom ministry about counting time spent in the ministry.
one comment surprised me - it says that counting time wrongly can lead to "pangs of conscience".
a bit of an ott expression , i can't help thinking.. the only pangs the local pioneers are concerned about here are hunger pangs as they head to dunkin donuts for a 40 minute "break".

BLOOD ISSUE! - Call Police for Backup...the JWs are mad!
by RagingBull ini read this article and thought... "only a matter of time before jws start getting hauled off to jail for attempted murder and manslaughter charges.".
one would think..."why is this person fighting so hard for their child to die???
maybe they don't want the kid and figure they'll be free from the responsiblility?".

The sad thing is that there are JWs out there who fight to prevent their kids from getting transfusions but really aren't 100% sure if they'll ever see their kids again (at the resurrection field or elsewhere)... Some fight these child transfusions out of sheer pressure to conform (fearing disfellowshipping or other forms of shunning from the congo). Others fight "just in case" it happens to be "Biblical" to do so after all (just so they'll have their slot reserved at the Lion petting zoo after Armageddon)...

Interesting statistic
by The Quiet One injust looking at latest yearbook and noticed something about the worldwide report (2010)... only 19 countries/lands reported an increase of 10% or more, and only 3 of those had 1,000+ publishers in 2009 (still under 2000 publishers in those 3 lands..) .
any thoughts?.

Religious Reform
by Maze inas a bible based organization, how do feel jehovah's organization should be reformed?
the answer is quite simple in christendoms churches:.
1. reject false doctrines like the trinity and 'all christians go to heaven' and use of images in worship.. .

Countdown to 2014
by Alfred into the governing body of jehovah's witnesses..... the 100th anniversary of jesus' taking the throne is 40 months away.
this means you have less than 40 months to dazzle us with your verbal gymnastics and explain why armaggeddon hasn't started yet.
we realize that freddy is no longer with us, so before releasing any "new light tm" regarding 1914, please endeavor to be a lot more creative and make an effort not to insult our intelligence... (we now have more ways to call you out on your bs, so you'll need to really put your heads together on this).

Stuckinamovement...
Did you open my mail? I got an almost identical letter about 7 months ago from the Patterson, NY branch...
I guess the Service Dept really does cut/paste responses to correspondence....

To the governing body of jehovah's Witnesses....
The 100th anniversary of Jesus' taking the throne is 40 months away. This means you have less than 40 months to dazzle us with your verbal gymnastics and explain why Armaggeddon hasn't started yet. We realize that Freddy is no longer with us, so before releasing any "New Light TM " regarding 1914, please endeavor to be a lot more creative and make an effort NOT to insult our intelligence... (we now have more ways to call you out on your BS, so you'll need to really put your heads together on this). Surely you can pull this off within this 40-month time table. But don't even consider changing the definition of "generation" again since you already used up your last mulligan on this already early last year.
We'll be waiting... Again, please try to be a little more creative this time. Your time starts..... NOW...... Tic-Toc-Tic-Toc-Tic-Toc......

Not only is the GB deliberately ignoring areas WHERE the need is greatest... they also ignore WHEN... I mean seriously, unless you're working a retirement communities, why would you expect to find people in their homes 9AM-11AM on week days or even awake at 10AM on a Saturday... if the GB really wanted to reach people with this "door-to-door" method, they'd be scheduling field service after dinner time (MON-FRI) or Sunday afternoon... but that ain't gonna happen...
