Question about field service reports ??
by Silverleaf ini wanted to try out the new "system" simon has created for us so i thought i would ask a question that's been bugging me for a while.. "field service reports" - is this the correct terminology for the 'time sheets' a jw fills out to show how much time they spend going door to door?
what's bugging me is how do jws justify needing to fill out these 'time sheets?
' it would seem to me that god/jehovah would know how much time someone spent in service to him, and therefore not need a piece of paper to prove how dedicated someone was.

Disfellowshiping and Title 7
by Maverick inany legal eagles out there have any thoughts on the potential success of a class action lawsuit against the watchtower for their written corporate policy on the treatment of disfellowshipped people?
does their policy fall under religious discrimination as outlined in title 7 of the federal anti-discrimination statues?
i am sure there are many df'd people who have lost jobs and housing and suffered mental anguish as a result of the restrictions of interacting with loves ones and family members.

Just How Dysfunctional Are We?
by Englishman ini've noted that one of our ex-members believes that the vast majority of posters to this site are, in his opinion, worthy of the label of being "dysfunctional".. for what it's worth, i believe that some persons, especially those who have exited the witnesses fairly recently, may well be a little naive and probably somewhat immature also.
from my own observations i have seen how maturation virtually ceases when anyone becomes overly committed to a belief system.
once someone leaves that belief system, then their maturation continues afresh and goes into over-drive as the person strives to "catch up" and eventually feel comfortable in relatively normal society.. so no, i don't think that many of us are dysfunctional at all.

Diminished Morality as Proof???
by confuzcious intoday a couple of elders came by and told me that "diminished morality" is proof that those who leave the truth have lost jehovah's favor.
that is, when they were in the truth, they were all chaste, etc.
but now that they are out of the truth that they don't hold the same high standards of morality.
