Ridiculous ways you kept your "time going" in service?

by HereIgo in

i used to go out early mornings with 2 pioneer elders, we would drive 20 miles out of the territory (a big no-no) to look for hikers to preach to lol of course there were never any hikers.

then off to starbucks for another hour lol easy way to count 2-4 hours.

i am chuckling as i write this, what a joke!.

I'm floored. Of course, now I look back and realize it was all a waste of time.

I tried to be as honest I could because I believe Jehovah was looking over my shoulder. I didn’t want to end up like Ananias and Sapphira. And of course, it was drilled into me that this had to be both quantity AND quality time. Each meeting and assembly drilled into me that what “little” I did was not quality enough.

Time had to count…and it was important not to being a leech (that is, driving around doing other people’s return visits and not having any of my own).

Toward the end, it was no wonder I became a low hour publisher. I will admit sometimes to rounding up to the next hour and sometimes borrowing against the next month sometimes.

The power this organization shames and guilts a person is incredible.

I second the question.

I'd a friend who used to say, "the children of the light do their works in the light". Of course, we both had a huge blindspot toward the organization. If they are in the right, they've nothing to hide by transparency and full disclosure.

"You Can Do Just Enough Ministry To Dislike It"

by pale.emperor in

when you were "in" did you ever actually enjoy the ministry?

and i made no secret about it.

instead i would joke about me feather knocking, and made sure i had my bible in hand so as they come to the door they know what im about so they can shut me down before i even start.. i always wondered how or why there were people who enjoyed it.

Londo111

The vast majority of JWs hate it. Perhaps a minority enjoy it. I had a relative who did, but he was very outgoing and sociable. Householders liked him and his personality drew dozens into the organization.

in fact the wts says that baptism as a jw is the mark mentioned at ezekiel 9:4-6. that people who are not will die forever at armageddon.. quote.

I suspect by "Christ's brothers" they don't mean the professed anointed in general who are now regulated to domestics, but they really mean the Governing Body.

Plans for huge Jehovah's HQ take shape

by Formerbrother in

http://www.chelmsfordweeklynews.co.uk/news/11227290.plans_for_huge_jehovah_s_hq_take_shape/.

its going to be a real beautiful place when its finished.. they are going for quality over quantity.

it used to be accommodation for a few thousand permanent residents, now its looking like less than a thousand permanent with the possibility of a few thousand more in temporary accommodation should the need arise.. some say the plans are going to be like a garden of eden in england :) i mean they had farming in london over the years but this is going to be epic what they are planning for temple farm at chelmsford.. they are planting thousands (literally) of fruit trees, including tropical fruits in huge green houses, huge vines yards and then the same basic farming activities as before.
