Never invite a wordly relative or friend to a witness gathering! (page 3)

Paul did graft his sexual neurosis on the church and it remains there to this day.

I don't think many outsiders would find the braindead, antiworld and oppressed JW environment as being in the least way interesting.

A fellow worker could misinterpret friendliness, however, as inviting association in order to have a good time together.

They could you know - you know how screwy those worldly people are

Rebel,
As a Christian we do all that we can to invite those who we assume do not know the Lord. We invite anyone and everyone though that is our church and maybe some are not that open (non-cultic). Jws must keep from all influences that may give them the idea that there is a life 'out there'.

If they despise the world so much then why don't they build a city of their own and surround it with a high wall with watchtowers every 50 meters. A city by their name!!
These people are afraid of their own shadow. They've set themselves such silly standards that the GB knows they are unmaintainable unless they receive a 5 weekly dosage of brainwashing and kept away from people that might snap them out of it.
It's a testimony to how weak these people's faith is in the face of "adversity"

I was prevented from going to one wedding in the family years ago, I swore to myself I would not let this happen again.....

Howdy Rex. As you know, the witnesses aren't intrested in those who want to know the Lord........they are only intrested in ones who show intrest in the Organisation. If a hippy long haired bastard told the dubs he wanted them to teach him all there is to know about god and jesus......yet stated "their was no way in hell he would ever become a Jehovahs Witness".........the witnesses wouldn't give him the time of day.
