The irony is that the Society demands of witnesses that they don't work certain times....or face threats of judgement. When the shoe is on the other foot, witnesses claim harassment!

Very odd that they would stay for that long and interact with you once they knew you were DF....
Usually that would be enough to send them running....

The Field Ministry Experience I Would Love to See
by xjwsrock inimagine this exchange in the door-to-door ministry:.
.... jw: hello my name is tom, i'm with a group stopping by briefly.... householder: i'm sorry let me interrupt you right there... i know all about you people.. jw: oh really... what do you mean?.
householder: you are that wierdo cult that believes in all sorts of delusional tripe... how can you let them con you like that?.

That is about right...
Those within a cult can not see the reality unless a comparison is made with a different cult. Even then, some will choose to remain blind.

1974 Special Meetings
by NeonMadman inas we all know, armageddon was just around the corner in 1974. at the district conventions that year, it was announced that there would be two special meetings during the month of september; one would be for interested people (e.g., bible studies, family members, inactive, etc.
), and the other would be for baptized publishers.
these were to be held in place of the service meetings for the two weeks, iirc.

The video is some sort of highly charged, emotionally manipulative stuff with slow-motion montages of life "in a perfect world" with emotional music....
The way the society uses emotion nowadays is unbelievable!

Reasons why I and we can succeed in life without religion.
by googleTTATT ini am compiling my list of reasons.
you can add yours if you like to.. 1. religions like telling their members to pay a lot of tithes thereby making their members to be in need and poor..

You use the expression "Tithing"?
Are you sure you come from a Witness background?

What We Truly Deserve Is...Death, Really WT?
by JW_Rogue ini have seen this statement or similar ones popping up in the study edition of the wt lately.
whenever they talk about undeserved kindness or jesus ransom they add this little gem to get the point across.
this is sick, why do they feel the need to tear down people's self esteem?

Yes, the very notion that ancestors thousands of years back are responsible for me now, just flys in the face of logic.
WHY should I be punished or judged for something I did not do?
Why would you smack your child in the morning when he awakes, in anticipation of the bad things he might do throughout the day??

Something in the air this season...
by babygirl30 ini have had some ultra weird exchanges with some existing jws these past 2 months that have me caught off guard (which is rare for me) - but overall just odd.. 1. i was out at a happy hour with some coworkers, and a woman whom i used to be friends with in another congregation came in with her husband.
background: her kids, myself, and her best friends son - were all close friends!
so we all were around this woman and her bff on a regular basis.

Wow!
Amazing.
I know of a sister who was DF at least three times for sleeping around. Amazingly, She then BRINGS two of the guys into the society!
So despite her life choices and activity, she was always still firmly mentally trapped by the society, and kept being emotionally and physically drawn back.
The FOG (Fear Obligation and Guilt) was strong obviously!
