How Does A Jehovah's Witness THINK???

by minimus in

witnesses have been trained to think a certain way.

"conversation stoppers" was invented so that a witness could change the way an argument was heading.

when you are able to "pick the brain" of a jehovah's witness, you may tend to get easily irritated or astonished as to how they reason things out in their mind......so......how would you describe the brain of a typical jehovah's witness??

Wasn't the whole conversation stopper thing started with the Reasoning book?

A few years after I left the Borg I applied for a job as a telemarketer. When I was interviewing, the manager asked if I would be prepared to get rejected without taking it personally. I said no problem, I used to be a door-knocking JW! I nearly flipped when I got to my training class and they gave me a booklet filled with the exact same concept: how to keep going when the poor schmuck on the other end of the line says he's not interested, etc. Maybe the Dubs should look into telemarketing instead of all those office cleaning businesses. They've certainly got the experience for it!

My best friend and I were both raised in the *ahem* Truth, but by our mid-teens we were a little on the wordly side. We went to this really lame bridal shower/slumber party. The highlight of the evening was a rousing game of Bible Win Lose or Draw. My friend and couldn't take it anymore, so we went for supplies and shoe-polished all the girls' cars and TP'd everything in sight. Then we blew up a bunch of condoms and tied them all over the porch. We thought this was really funny, but we were the only ones. Everyone else was completely scandalized. Condoms! Oh, the horror! Some girls were actually in tears. We sure had more fun commando crawling around in the yard than we would have inside practicing our presentations. (Yes, that's right, after those sanctimonious virgins cleaned up the yard, they got dressed and went in service. Not me, I went home to get some sleep.) The situation escalated into a huge congregation uproar. My best friend was a bridesmaid and I was supposed to sit at the guestbook, but we were quickly relieved of our duties when the elders told the couple they couldn't get married in the KH if we were in the ceremony. All that fuss over some funny balloons! Needless to say, we didn't go the wedding.
