  If the org. Is being advised by consultants, is a name change in the works?

  by nowwhat? in

  let's be honest, there's a stigma to the name jehovah's witness.

  if they are going more mainstream.

  i imagine the first recommendation was a name change.

  so i pioneered for 10 years in the 1990's it was 90 hours a month with alot of country driving.

  i was shocked when brothers and sisters with full time jobs would park their brand new cars and go witnessing in my 20 year old orange datsun.

  i was barely living on $250 a week as a yeah...window cleaner.

  Money Spinners

  by Lost in the fog in

  i can remember when i was in that there were numerous articles and assembly talks about not using the congregation as a means of making money from a captive audience of brothers and sisters.. i was looking at the etsy website and stumbled upon a jw themed product.. i wondered if there were any more and discovered that there were lots.

  mind you maybe it's people who have left who see an opportunity for making money from gullible jws.. https://www.etsy.com/uk/search?q=jehovah%27s%20witness%20letter%20writing&ref=auto-1.

  The "Regular Pioneer" title has now become a total joke

  by pistolpete in

  2. beliefs

  we just had our co visit a few weeks ago.

  apparently, he was encouraging all who could to regular pioneer, to at least try it out for a year.

  because of this, we had a few people in our hall become one.. so this weekend we were on zoom service, and the sister that was just appointed was talking about it.

  My 20 year anniversary

  by new boy in

  2. friends

  after being a jehovah's witness for 52 years, today marks my 20 year anniversary of being out of the borg!

  i turned in my letter of disassociation on september 18th 2001. it was read to the congregation on september 19th, my wife's birthday.

  of course the years have had its difficulties but it has also had many wonderful experiences and epiphanies.

  What Do You Know of JWs Getting Away With Stuff?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i realized that teenagers and young witness adults were getting away with murder per my daughter.

  she told me that all these exemplary young people featured at assemblies and conventions were not real good examples.

  after she got married years ago to a “ worldly “ man, she told me about all the kids who were fornicating and getting drunk and high, including elder’s kids.
