Avoiding that visit from Brother Hounder. And it was always harder, since attaining one level of compliance led immediately to getting Brother Hounder to hound you for not meeting the next level.

The most important thing for most JWs is trying to make everyone think they're good little JWs while living a secret "normal" life.

I agree it's all about appearance. But In my parents case, they sincerely want to make sure all their actions are favorable with Jehovah. (dad's the PO as well) You definetely won't find two more people that walk the straight line.

What, in your opinion, is most important thing for a typical JW? What affects him in his day to day life? What causes them to make the decisions they do? Is it their love for Jehovah? Is it how many doors they knock on? Or is it their reputation among other JWs? Speaking for myself when I was a JW. I wanted to do the right thing. Why? I wanted recognition from my parents. I dont think I got much attention from my parents. So I figured I would try to get it from God. So for a time, I tried to follow the rules of the JW organization to the best of my ability. During that time a witness may have described me as a lover of Jehovah. And maybe I was to a degree. I always remember having a degree of depression. Maybe its normal, I dont know. But one way early on I learned to cope with depression was to have an attitude of gratitude. That would translate to being thankful to the one I thought gave me life, Jehovah and doing his will which equated to being a good JW. So in that convaluted way during my time as a JW, I made my decisions based on my love for Jehovah. And if that could be true for me, I can believe it could be true for some others.
