  Have you noticed the common practice is to knock indivual's self esteem?

  in another thread, one of our members made a comment that caught my attention.. i have been trying to put my finger on a practice amongst the org and witnesses in general.... as soon as someone does something well, accomplishes something, or excels at something, the atmosphere effectiveley 'kicks them in the gut' to bring them down.. anything that makes a person grow or develop is blatently discouraged and therefore self esteem is squashed!.

  the constant message telling a witness to be 'humble' is designed to suck any sense of growth or 'betterment' out of a person..... therefore this leaves the average witness to be a blubbering mess of insecurity and instability completely dependant on the organization...kind of like a 'battered-wife' scenario.... .

  If the Org. confessed they were not God's org. Would you still be there and was that the main reason you stayed

  i know you know who i am by now...the one that forgets to use paragraphs...anyway, all over all the jw sites (not jw.org).

  it's been asked if you knew this or that why did you stay...it's been discussed how no matter what you hit the friends with, failed dated, new lights, pedophiles, etc, yet they stay and you can't reason with them....so what i've come up with is that most stay because they feel it's god's org.

  and they were chosen in place of the jews.

  What I miss about going out in service.

  well, very little, to be honest.

  the structure and commitment of the ministry provided discipline necessary to my life.

  therefore, i did it, as required, and felt some sense of fulfillment at the bible study stage.. i do like talking to people.

  Aww, don't we miss the JOY of smugly telling everyone in the territory that they will DIE unless they take magazines from strangers who come to their doors unannounced ??

  A question for those who still go to the meetings

  and it is ... why do most at the hall prefer to sit at the back and leave front rows empty?.

  I agree with others who have said that most don't actually want to be there.

  Those that attend also want to be able to see everyone else...

  Compare that to attending an event you ACTUALLY look forward to, such as a concert or stage show of some sort. Most people would LOVE front row seats!

  Why would the witnesses even bother helping any "worldly" people in times of such natural disasters? After all, they are all destined to be destroyed at the big A anyway right?

  Plus, isn't it better that people die in natural disasters? After all, then they are guaranteed a "resurrection" right?
