Beware of a Jehovah's Witnesses With No Life!!!

If a JW has absolutely no "worldly" contacts, works for himself and has only Witnesses working for him-----stay away from them!

If someone has been "homeschooled" from infancy----stay away!

JWs who know nothing but being a JW are the worst types! They are the WORST gossipers, slanderers and backstabbers. Why???? Because they've got no life. They're always looking at everyone else but themselves. Their lives are incomplete so they make up for whatever they do or don't do by picking on you.

I am sooooooooo glad I'm out of that religion!

envy, jealousy, frutration... yeap, that's them. and unfortunately for them they are the least likely to break their own self destructive circle.

Can you elaborate on your story? It reminds me of the attitude some of the Ancient Israelites had in the past.

Unbaptized, are you talking to me??

"Are you talking to me?" Of course we are talking to you Minny! Why the heck would you bring this up if you didnt have a story to share?

So share! This sounds like it is going to be a good one!

I have to put myself in their shoes. They are captives of a concept just as we were at one time. I would make an effort to try and plant something in their mind if I had an opportunity to do so. Of course as you mention, they are ingrained into the cult and it would be that much harder to reason with them and so that would lead them to do the things you mention about them. However, I would not abandon anyone in their situation.Afterall, it's the Watchtower Society that we cannot reason with, not the individuals caught and trapped there by having through no fault of their own been born into the organization. And as such they have no life outside the walls of the Watchtower Society and that is why they act the way they do.

I understand where you are coming from Mini, on the other hand I would not shut the door to captivity, I would make an effort to try and help them to get released from the bonds of captivity. That's what I would hope you and the others who are now out would continue to do just as you have been doing on this forum with your many fine questions and post's over the years.

My thoughts are the following: There are different types of Witnesses. But the ones who absolutely had no life outside their ministry, meetings, personal study, etc. were the ones that should've been avoided if at all possible. These ones were the ones that always seemed to get unsuspecting ones in trouble. Especially if they were inquiring elders.

When I was in I had a friend from another congregation who chose to home school her children from the beginning. They also graduated from the home school process. Well these two son were the same age group as my three sons. Well when my sons went anywhere these two boy were at they always went tattling on my sons to their Elder Dad which caused their Dad to call us. They were constantly getting my boys in trouble to the point I had to tell my sons to stay away from this these two boys. If they were there say at the skating rink my boys would avoid them, but still the darn home schooled kids then made up stuff about my kids. It actually caused my son so begin to have doubts about being a JW. Which ended up to be a good thing for us all.

These two boys are wrapped up in the JW lifestyle I don't think they will ever have a truly happy life. They are terrified of failure, and one screw up will probably send them in a tail spin. I believe these folks you mentioned end up broken people because they just can never be perfect enough. They take a sense of glory in the failure of others.

Balsam, well said.

Watch out for the third and fourth generation Jehovah's Witnesses.

Their DNA contains over 100 years of fase prophecies, changed doctrines and Theocratic Warfare techniques.
