Should some people actually be Witnesses?
by Apognophos in

it seems to me like certain people actually benefit from joining the religion.

primarily i'm thinking of ones with drug problems who are only able to quit because they are working towards baptism.

another example would be those who are always getting in fights or who have a big ego, and who learn to be pacifistic and humble as a witness.

Really weird sentence
by Moses Joe in
1. jw
2. friends
i've been absent from meetings recently because i'm having serious life challenges that make me really not want to have to deal with all of the people and the sitting.

i had made an attempt to, "simplify my life" that rather than being blessed was meant with unemployment.

lol.. anyway, i finally got tired of all the phone calls checking up on me and sent a message to someone explaining that i just wanted to be left alone (an elder).

"Go Where the Need is Great" - Is this phrase unique to JW's only???
by AudeSapere in
1. jw
2. friends
"go where the need is great"... it's one of those jw buzz-words/phrases.

almost like a secret code that just pops up in what would otherwise be a 'normal' conversation.. .

i was conducting an interview with a candidate this afternoon and she used this phrase when explaining that she travelled to various locations of a previous employer.
