LDC video uncut

by neat blue dog in

i'm sure many of us have seen the local design construction video for elders that was leaked on youtube.

i saw a few seconds of it and was going to the library to download it, but at that point it was taken offline.

now, a heavily edited version is on jw broadcasting.

Take subway to work? Count your time!

by ShirleyW in

i was sitting next to a sister this evening who during the whole ride she had one of those plastic folders that holds the mags and pamphlets, she had both spanish and english and was holding the folder out in front of her until she got off the train.

i asked her if she was counting her time, she said yes (of course she asked how do i know about that).

she said it's not easy talking to the people in the station (seemed like she meant standing with the trolley or just the mags) because sometimes people say things that aren't nice, so she counts her time on her daily commute.

One day assembly

by Sour Grapes in

jw
friends

at a recent one day assembly i walked away with the thought that the wtbts sure does not like witnesses who have the opportunity to make a good living.

there were, in one day, three experiences of witnesses who turned down "6 figure salaries" because there would be some traveling involved and some meetings would be missed as well as missing family worship night.

i thought it strange that the exact phrase was used of "6 figure salary".

It's all a lie. There is no glut of Witnesses turning down six figure salaries to pioneer.

In my last cong was an elder, who lost his job. Next convention he was interviewed and he told the audience, that es has simplified his life. *hypocrite*

In my opinion "witnesses turning down six figure salaries" means --> they lost there good job.

My Name is of No Consequence

Maybe your wife is thinking, that she now lives in a "religiously divided home" (*** w89 11/1 p. 20 par. 12 Do Not Yoke Yourselves With Unbelievers ***)

Maybe she don't accept YOUR headship in "spiritual and congregation things" BUT still accept your headship in all other matters.

College Quote - Help Needed

by kp138 in

i don't post on here for often, but i read posts almost daily and i love our little community of ex-jw's.

a little bit of a background i was raised in as jw but was never baptized but was a publisher and believe it wholehearedly.

my father was very strict when it came to the religion and although i really quit going in my early 20s (which broke his heart) it held a power over me until i was close the to 30. at 30 i decided to enroll in community college while working full time and got my aa last year.

*** g71 6/8 p. 8 Second Thoughts About a College Education ***

So by guiding their children away from the so-called ‘higher’ education of today, these parents spare their children exposure to an increasingly demoralizing atmosphere, and at the same time prepare them for life in a new system as well.

-------------------------------

*** w69 3/15 p. 171 par. 12 What Influences Decisions in Your Life? ***

12 The influence and spirit of this world is to get ahead, to make a name for oneself. Many schools now have student counselors who encourage one to pursue higher education after high school, to pursue a career with a future in this system of things. Do not be influenced by them. Do not let them “brainwash” you with the Devil’s propaganda to get ahead, to make something of yourself in this world. This world has very little time left! Any “future” this world offers is no future! Wisely, then, let God’s Word influence you in selecting a course that will result in your protection and blessing. Make pioneer service, the full-time ministry, with the possibility of Bethel or missionary service your goal. This is a life that offers an everlasting future!

--------------------------

"Therefore as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers. If you are in high school and thinking about a college career, it means at least four, perhaps even six or eight more years to graduate into a specialized career. But where will this system of things be by that time? It will be well on its way towards its finish, if not actually gone." (Awake! 1969 May-22 p.15)
