HOW "TRUE" ARE JW HOURS ?

by josephus in

jw
friends

as a jw i admit to "massaging" my hours nearly every month to keep up with the expected amount.. my brother never put in hir report for nearly 2 years.

i was amazed when i asked the secretary he told me "i allways put a few hours in if people forget" !!!

so my brother was a regular publisher despite not going out on service.. he was one man.

I know that many people incluse coffee break into 45 min then round it off to a full hour. The problem is that people don't really see an incentive to it... it doesn't make you feel good especially since you knock on empty doors all the time.

Young JW's, What would it take for you to come back?

by Spudinator in

this question is for the "younger" jw's, and ex-jw's that post here, say in their teens to mid-twenties.

please consider the main question, and try to answer the a, b, and c segments if applicable.. what would it take for you to come back into the jw fold?.

a. organizational changes?.

ignorance is strength

No amount of money of change can interfere with my belief in the One, Holy, Apostolic, and Catholic Church the one that God himself founded. Seriously though, If I weren't going to be a catholic I wouldn't be able to believe in the bible (long logical explaination of how only the catholic church can prove how the bible is inspired).

Social anxiety VS. Jw influence

by NEWWORLDSLACKER in

my question for tonight is this : after leaving the witnesses do you still feel disjointed from society in general ( and i mean the human race not the wt) ?

im realizing that i still have quite a hard time in social situations where there are more than say 4-5 people .....i tend to get into a dreamy feeling state , and just basically out of it feeling .

i tend to blame it on being raised a dub .

ignorance is strength

I find social situations a bit difficult, I thinks its 'cause I didn't have friends growing up b/c there were no other JW kid's besides my sister.

Governing Body Compromise Over Matters Of Personal Conscience

by hillary_step in

i have it on very good authority that the governing body, under pressure from wts legal i might add, have agreed that matters pertaining to grooming and dress will not be dictated by wts corporate policy any longer but will be left to a persons conscience to decide.

at the annual general meeting, shortly to be held, the governing body will themselves set an organizational lead by appearing in in the grooming of their choice.

i was particularly impressed with theo jaracz new look ( fourth right, first row ).

If they did it would be funny because St. John the Baptist was one of the scruffiest guys around...the GB'll probably use him as an example if this is true

now this is weird and just came over the news:

"britain's estimated nine million domestic cats are being blamed by scientists for infecting up to half the population with a parasite that can alter peoples personalities.

the figures emerge from studies into toxoplasma gondii, a parasite carried by almost all the uk's feline population and maybe elsewhere in the world.

i was afraid this day would come soon and now it has.

i'm getting a sheperding call this saturday.

i have five days to figure out how i'm going to handle this.

Its a big dilemma and what I would suggest is to just think... spend hours, days, or weeks thinking about what would be the best possilbe route to take and explore all of the possible routes.
