  JW's are notoriously bad tippers, anyway

  I remember a "special needs" talk which detailed "how to tip". Apparently many jw's, at restaurants during conventions, were leaving tracts and old magazines on the tables in lieu of $$$ as tips.

  I remember sitting there stunned during this lame discourse, wondering how on earth this was Jehovah's idea of "spiritual food at the right time"........ knowing that it was costing some of the friends a HUGE percentage of their annual incomes just to drag their families off to these three-day pep-rallys...

  The possibilities of positive reform and direct impact on rank and file jw's here are potentially incredible. This is a very exciting document, and my heart is beating rapidly after reading it.

  Please know I would like to freely contribute anything I could, if it would be of help, in terms of editing. I have extensive experience in grammatical proofing, and have assisted many in their publication efforts.

  Thanks for the profound ideas, and Randy, for your efforts.

  Best regards,

  (i brought this over from rex's thread).

  does god exist-i always think of khalil gibran's couplet from the prophet; "do not say god is in my heart, but i am in the heart of god.

  " i beleive that people use god to keep themselves in check, and they make the bible their moral register.

  Hi Ashi,

  Beautifully said, and thanks for your thoughts.

  Joelbear, GRRR, now I'm gonna be singing that goofy Englebert Humperdink song all day, or Neil Diamond, or whomever it was. Maybe it was George Jetson.

  Mr. Rogers..?

  Xena, you rock.

  Hi Tina and waiting....

  Martha Stewart-like suggestion:

  pry some of those cute little colored fruit things out with a screwdriver and make earrings out of them! Send them back to fruitcake sender as gifts!

  just when i thought i was almost over being angry my "brothers" got my blood going again.

  my wife and i were polite, saying at first it was good to see them after so long and the first thing the elder in the group said was..."well you know where to find us, at the kingdom hall.

  " well normally i'm fairly mild mannered, but, that just got under my skin.

  Hi LB,

  Sounds like another typical day of field service: driving around from one end of the territory to another, gossiping and wasting their time engaging in useless random acts of absurdity. The motives for the vast majority of jw is NOT to 'help lost people', imo.... it is merely the accummulating of numbers to hand in at the end of the month.

  Your story triggered my recollection of HATING field service. I always felt trapped, stuck in a car with weirdos who scared me. Now - after reading countless posts similar to yours - I have a better understanding of why it felt so threatening... so many people who pass as jw's have hearts made of rocks and would kill you for six pieces of a doughnut.

  Welcome to the board
