I agree w/everyone here....rich ones are "not-at-homes" working to make more money....middle/lower income fams are more vulnerable to WT-BATS insidious doctrines...

Why Do JWs Only Preach In Poor/Middle Class Neighborhoods?
by Latin assassin from Manhattan inas my name suggests, i'm from nyc.
i've lived in every borough of new york and spent time at most of the local congregations until i finally decided that it was all for nothing (my recent posts on this forum explain why).
during this time, i noticed an interesting pattern - the jws only preach in poor to middle class neighborhoods.

>
>Judge # 3 -- My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I

>Chili # 6 Vera's Very Vegetarian Variety
>
>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

>Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic.
>Superb.
>
>Judge # 3 -- My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous,

>uncontrollably.
>
>Judge # 3 -- You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I

>Judge # 2 -- This final entry is a good, balance chili. Neither mild nor
>hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when ...
>Judge # 3 ... passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on

Have You Changed Since You First Started Posting Here?
by minimus inon a different thread, berylblue mentioned how, when comparing my 1st post to the present ones, there is an obvious change.
i do agree that we all can grow and learn as time goes on in our lives.
my question for today is,"have you changed in how you think or in your growth from a spiritual and /or emotional standpoint"?

My Borganization Story
by Frannie Banannie ini was 28 when i got borganized....i wish i could remember the names of the sisters that studied with me....one of 'em's name is barbara, the other one was a pig...guess they're not that memorable....but the plano congregation had not been started when i first got baptised or it had *just* been started in 1973....my best sis friend was carolyn nelson, a six feet tall sis with two kids, harris and april....i was really dumb and married the first elder that asked me....it was a total flop of a marriage, his teenaged son caused all sorts of problems for us.....i "ran away" from it and went back to the "world" for a while....i suppose because they hadn't gotten the "worldliness" out of me very well at the time....when i returned, they publicly reproved me and we divorced....his name was bob repp....he was an elder in the white rock congregation....i can remember a few names...the farmers, steve scott and his lovely red-headed wife, but that's all i remember..... .
then i moved back down here with my older two children, where i was raised and later went back into the borganization....i moved to california in late 1988, got in an auto accident in late 1989, and everything went downhill from there, borganization-wise...i had seen so much cruelty from the platform....even a p.o.
who graphically and sneeringly described explicitly...the sights, sounds and smells of alleged sexual acts between two pioneers, as he disf'd the pioneer sister, while she sobbed her heart out in front of the congregation and only reproved the pioneer bro.....made me wanna hurl....the elders treated me like a meadow muffin the whole time i was in cal.

How would you explain jws to a non-jw?
by Gadget inin the past, when i've been talking about being a witness they haven't really understood just how much of an impact it has on your life unless they've been one too.
whats the best way to explain it to someone who has never been a witness and had little contact with them?
i'm more thinking of how much control there is over your life, and the reason why a lot of witnesses feel down and suffer from depression, ect.. gadget
