They don't understand their own beliefs. There is no substance to this religion, I don't think there ever was. It has become a social club, nothing else.
Yelling "apostate" just allows them time enough to run the other way.
if the witnesses have the truth and have been going to meetings for many years and every week they learn how to be effective in the ministry and learn about the bible on sundays and every week have a family worship night, why are they afraid to talk to anyone who doesn't agree with them or question their beliefs?
if they have the truth then nothing can refute it.
the truth is the truth.

hey people, .
i am soon going into a kh for the first time and i could use some advice around etiquette etc.
i know next to nothing besides the fundamental beliefs of jws, i personally dont believe in any religion, and that stance isnt ever going to change, however i don't want to come across as rude or disrespectful.
i am not sure if anyone else here heard this phrase.
i did from a circuit overseer when i was a servant many moons ago.
with my newly enlightened mind i finally understand what this means.
What they really mean to say..."is Brother or sister so and so won't allow me to bully, control or abuse them." Boo hoo

What do they endure?
1.Driving around aimlessly.
2. Gossiping. They are really good at this!
3. Eating too many donuts.
4. Drinking too much coffee.
5. Collecting any Governmental Assistance checks they can get their hands on.
6. Mooching off of anyone in the Congregation they can get their hands on.
7. Criticising anyone in the Congregation who got a college education and has a good job. They don't have a problem borrowing money from these ones.
8. Letting everyone know that they are serving Jehovah to the full. Brag, brag, brag.
9. Walking as slow as possible to the next door.
The list is endless!!
most of us old timers left behind a stable, respected, religious heritage in our disillusioned haste to join a stupid cult.. as i recall, there was no rite of dissociation required - no reason offered to your church, no resignation required - it was a non-event from the dubs viewpoint.
what was your experience?
were you expected to do or say anything as you abandoned your spiritual heritage to become a drone in the watchtower hive?.
