How to Irritate JWs: The Catholic Way

by Hernandez in

what's the greatest advantage in becoming a roman catholic after leaving the jehovah's witnesses some 17 years ago?

why, it's the way it totally irritates people and really pushes their buttons...that is, if you are one of the unfortunate jehovah's witnesses who happens across my door during field service.

i have developed several techniques to make it very frustrating to the unwary witness who hopes to make headway at my house.

I wouldn't say "And who's the tall hooded chap you've brought with you today?", because then they're liable to think that an angel is watching over them, reinforcing their beliefs 😜

the one Jesus film that his "brothers" managed to scrape together

And that wasn't really even a film, it was 'in the style of a stage play', meaning lip-syncing, incomplete sets and a very low budget.

Welcome Herelgo, glad to hear a bit of your story. Are you still a believer? (Not JW-wise, obviously.)

Wait, there are currently 154 songs, including the ones recently released over the past few months. If this new songbook has 151, three of the older ones will have to be removed, and the rest renumbered.

I know a female relative of mine, when it comes to doctrinal information, she will believe absolutely ANYTHING the org puts in print. But when it comes to moral issues, like treating people unlovingly, being dishonest, putting rules and technicalities above people, etc., It's THAT kind of stuff that opens her eyes (albeit not all the way yet) and starts to get her riled against the org.

I know when I first heard all the usual apostate stuff you mention, I went in to zealous mode and read more WT publications in a shorter time period then I ever had. I was reading everywhere, at home, at work, in bed, taking notes. However, it was with an apologist's eye, to MAKE it all be true. Because I was constantly defending the religion and spouting historical rarities and statistics, other JWs admired me and thought I was just extra spiritual or something, but I was really in defense mode, clinging to 'the truth' while subconsciously refusing to admit to myself that I knew it wasn't. After some years of this, I experienced about a year of vacillation, a mental tug of war that was leaving me internally exhausted. Then seemingly suddenly, I accepted where I stood: this was not the truth. All in all this process took me about seven years.
