Doubting Bro,
I certainly appreciate your willingness to at least try to see where my mind is at with all of this. It speaks volumes to me or I would not bother replying.
Your comments here are what gravely concerns me. My stong opinion is that this type of attitude must cease. Hear me out please. You say, {your honesty here is duly noted}:
When I go out (only to keep the peace at the present) I make sure that much time is wasted . My presentations are very dry and uninteresting. When folks do take the mags, I rarely follow up. The ones I follow-up with I usually just chit chat with and make no effort to recruit.
Firstly, I went door to door a number of years as a jw child { NOTE: I never was a jw as an adult...I was disfellowshipped [ you should not even be conversing with me, let alone on this forum..that's just a WTFactoid ] }. I know what the pitch and the ultimate goal was, then. I also, now as an adult, have them at my door. I ask them point-blank, what the real reason is, the motivation that drives them to do what they do. You know as well as I do that if I show the slightest "bad heart condition {spiritually}" that I AM A WASTE OF YOUR PREACHING TIME, and you go to the next door. You/ I was trained, through TMS {Theocratic Ministry School} that those types of householders are a waste of time. Unless you can turn their hearts around.
All of this is geared towards recruitment. There is no other solid reason why it is core to the WTBTS organization of Jehovah's Witnesses. YOU SIMPLY ARE SALESPEOPLE FOR A HUGE BOOK PUBLISHING CORP.
So I say to you sir, is it a waste of time NOW to go back to those doors, incognito if you have to, with the same literature and counter what it says? Instead of just not going out in f.s. ...GO AND PROCLAIM THE TRUTH. Maximize your time now. Make that effort. Go back, chit chat about what you now know is lies, hate and destruction and tell them the truth and how they can be better informed about what really goes on at those meetings and why the WTBTS really hates the world so much and professess they are no part of it. SHOW THEM THE FACTS.
Surely you will agree that when it comes to childrens safety and well being are never a waste of time.
Of course you take a huge risk in doing this. But tell me, when does it stop being about YOU?
When do they children come first? Their justice? Their freedom? Their sanity? Their very existance?
The "oil" you keep supplying the WTBTS to keep running it's press Death Machines comes from only one place, one dynamic...it's FOLLOWERS. Not it's leaders. If we can stop the production of the actual "oil" it takes to feed the Machines, it will grind the gears, so to speak.
So sure, wait if you must for YOURSELVES. Think you have the right to avoid the suffering you will surely endure. Go to the meetings acting as if and to keep the peace for YOURSELVES. But DON'T come to my door, with "this is a waste of time anyway, they are all gonna die...." telling me you are here because you care about this world or anyone in it with literature and pitches clearly used to recruit and scare me into this fraudulent religion.
Hypocrisy and two-faced people are two of the most aggravating and infuriating for me.
When you break down the doctrines that make the policies that kill the children, then you have an obligation to expose that to others that may potentially enter and get sucked in.
I know it's caustic. For me, it's the only way it can be said, from my mouth. It would be so unlike me to sugarcoat anything about this organization. This organization is pure poison. How much more poison are you going to allow to be pumped into your children and that of others before you warn them not to swallow?
Trust me, I could write so much more about the blatant and frustrating hypocrisy and sugarcoating, but I think you now get a better idea of how passionate I am about this issue. Silence is not an option.
If this is really getting to some, I'm glad. It needs to affect you. You need to understand what you are actually doing when you stand at peoples doors that you bash/ speak about at meetings, and put on your fake masks of concern. It's fraud. You shouldn't be able to get away with it.
So next time you are at the door, instead of wasting your time with dogma and death, show them how lethal the literature truly is. Show them the tract. Tell them the truth about what is written in it. Tell them about the court ruling, that the Catholic church has a friend in crime too...show them the convicted bethelites photo. Walk off the porch with your dignity and pride, knowing you may have just saved an entire family from living what so many lived and live as members of this religion.
Happy trails Bro. I mean that.
Now I'm off to make a few phone calls regarding this knocking. org issue. Anderson Cooper's honesty mantra will be put to the test. Wonder if he can get JARACZ on the show to extole the virtues of such a loving and honest religion book publishing, real estate buying, lawyered-up for Napa Valley child sexual abuse cases; using charitable donations of the unsuspecting flock. Along with perhaps Randy Watters, Alan F., Norm H., Tom Talley, Farkel {oh yea, I'd pay to see JARACZ AND FARKEL face to face} and so many others. Maybe Firpo Carr and Stafford too!!! And OUTLAW!!! {sorry, I'm getting carried away here, but oh the visuals}
