  So what happens next...

  with what is arguably the biggest change to jw life in recent decades (the scrapping of publishers counting hours) what does this lead to?.

  in my mind these are the results;.

  1) a massive decrease in 'preaching hours'.

  i think most people still in the cult are in it for the social life....the old religious god botherers have mostly gone to join him by now.

  Remember though that the writers of the New Testament were raised to heavenly life in 1918 and may have even actually helped the writers of the May 22, 1969 Awake article with the finer details.

  eh ? i must be missing something here.

  or--have a bit of fun with them. Tell them how worried you are--big energy bill coming up--say you cant pay it--burst in to tears as you plead with them to help you out with a loan--say £500 for now. Promise them you will pay them back...when you can.

  Door to Door Witnessing Anxiety

  by NotFormer in

  2. beliefs

  it's not only the jws who do door to door witnessing.

  the independent baptists for the most part have "soul winning", mainly door to door witnessing and leaving tracts, as a tennet of their faith.

  this discussion is interesting:.

  just spend an hour or so slowly writing a letter. put it in a plain envelope, forget to address it--then post it. No stamp required. Then count it as witnessing time

  JWs And Superstitions

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  prompted by a mention in a different thread.. cracks in the sidewalk, a pinch of salt over the shoulder, black cats🐈‍⬛; do jws have such superstitious beliefs.

  are they allowed to?

  would they be counselled if the elders became aware?.

  oh christ--where do i begin !

  my old mum was completely crazy. A converted JW that believed anything she heard...mixed in with old wives tales and black magic.

  I grew up on a diet of demons--in fact i was terrified by it all.

  Even my dad got in on the act. He was in other respects a deep thinking quiet clever man--but oh boy did he swallow all the demon stuff.

  What chance did i have ?

  consider door knocking as a test.

  If any outwardly normal person can be persuaded to go out door knocking to preach their beliefs to strangers, then getting them to decline blood or shun their family is easy.

  Where is Tony?

  on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

  in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.
