JWs are quick to point out crimes committed by persons of other religions but when it comes to crimes committed by members of the congregation, they shoot the messenger or say that such actions are very rare among JWs...Any criticism must surely come from Satan...it just couldn't be true because"mother" says it isn't. I would ask the elders if JWs should be judged the same way they judge other religions who were found to have paedophiles among their clergy members? If not, why not?

CO over for dinner Tuesday thru Friday
by A question inhas anyone had a co over for dinner during their visit on any of the nights from tuesday thru friday?
that seems hard to do because those nights usually have meetings.
if you did do it, how long were they able to stay after finishing eating?.

Long serving pioneer no longer has hours quota to stay on the list...
by NVR2L8 ina family member visited us this past weekend and said that my 80 years old mother was recently told she no longer has to meet the annual hour quota to remain on the pioneer list.
"what a loving provision from the brothers" were my sister's exact words.
"mom was so stressed out with having to get her hours in every month" are you freaking kidding me?

RO...my dad use to mess with them by not signing up for auxiliary pioneer and doing the hours...After the month elders would inquire as to why he didn't sign up. Dad would say that he was not sure he wanted to go out every day. You should sign up anyways the brothers would say as it is encouraging for the congregation.

"What a loving provision from the brothers" were my sister's exact words. "Mom was so stressed out with having to get her hours in every month" Are you freaking kidding me? For decades mom has struggled to meet their service requirements and now that she is worn out and tired they are lovingly providing relief? How indecent for any organization to guilt seniors in spending their last few years of life as unpaid slaves. The last time I saw mom all she could talk about was going out in service and how bad the world has become.My younger brother who never was a witness recently called mom to see if he could come over to show her his newly born grand son...unfortunately her service schedule couldn't accommodate the visit and my brother said he has no intention to become a publisher to be able to visit with mom....

We also had the DO stay with us for a week before the assembly. They were very nice and they shared one evening meal with us and went out to other homes for the other nights. The brother settled in my home office during the days while I was at work. On other occasions we had the CO have dinner with us on meeting night which was convenient for him since we lived close to the hall. One thing that bothered me is that most of them have special dietary needs...they can't just eat what everyone else do...I would never dare tell a host what to serve when he invites me!

JW women and breast implants or other cosmetic surgery
by Comatose in*first* - a clarification that needs to be made.

i am not against cosmetic surgery.

If an elder's qualifications are to be reviewed when his child goes to college against WT admonition, shouldn't the same apply when his wife gets dangerous cosmetic when we are so close to when all imperfections will be corrected?

Remarkably stupid point in this week's Jeremiah book study - Jehovah's loving kindness
by sir82 inthe whole jeremiah book is an abomination, but a point in this week's study exceeded even its usual standards of inanity.. from page 144, paragraph 10:.
in our day, god continues to show loving-kindness in ways that directly benefit his worshippers.
consider the matter of prayer.

DC "Jehovah's Witnesses have been banned"
by Separation of Powers inseveral weeks ago, i had the opportunity to attend one of the dc.
the final drama was quite interesting as it depicted a "ban" on the jehovah's witness religion without an explanation as to why?
i'm sure many in the audience pondered on what they had learned from their previous studies i.e that babylon the great would fall and then that gog of magog would eventually turn his attention to the organization.

Unlike bible dramas of the past, today's DC dramas are pure fiction. I told my wife that if I wanted to see fiction I would go to the movies where there's real actors and a real screenplay. 2010 is when I saw my last poor fiction drama on how Jews returned to Jerusalem to finally get trapped in 70...I also learned how elders of old kept records of hours spent in the ministry...Bible book, chapter and verse please!
