    Met w/2 elders today, we had a nice visit, and talked about a few things, like why I dont go to meetings, etc etc.

    told them of the lack of love in congregation, the society constantly using loaded language to put guilt trips on the r&f,

    i.e. the sept article on actually enjoying yourself vice beating in doors and telling people something they dont want to or could care less about hearing. About how book studies aren't studies, how the schools sucks and isn't a school at all but a do it yourself kind of things then get pounded on by the "school overseer", or worse told you did a good job when you know you sucked. i let loose a little and told them thanks but no thanks im inactive and fully intend to stay that way.

    Since you have been a member since 2001, how come they are just visiting now?

    Get prepared:

    "Do you love Jehovah?"

    "Do you still believe the Faithful Discreet Slave is Jehovah's channel of communication to mankind?"

    CONGRATULATIONS, Dude!!!

    Great, job, I think I would have laced into them about the UNs crap, the lies and cover ups. and then the issues of Pedophiles, that have caused great greif to so many people within the organization. Gawd I would have told them that even memebers of the GB were homosexuals covering up their deceptive life style all the while doing the nasty on the side. Being gay is okay but not in the world of JWS.

    Hypocrites right up to the top.

    I still shiver when I heard that Leo Greenlees and Percy Chapman and other so called prominent members in this Theocratic order. What a lie and disgrace to God.

    If they ask you the above question tell them YES, but you don't believe the channel is the Governing Body That ought to raise a few eye brows.

    The PO I was 'studying' with seems to have dumped me. We only met once since the day I tripped him up over Romans 13, and he admitted JWs had never got any messages from God.

    The next visit he was colder, and gave me a pile of mags to read. I sensed that was the brush off. I am always amazed that they refuse to study with those truly interested in Bible study, and prefer to knock on the doors of uninterested strangers.

    Similarly, my best mate won't discuss religion with me, although I want to. He ignores my genuine interest in Scriptures and the JW religion, but prefers to knock on the doors of disinterested strangers.
