Mummy Dear Lies at Assemblies
by Tempest in a Teacup inmy zealously fanatic jw mum is aware of my current "tourist-jw" life.
what she doesn't know for sure is that she's part of the ones who brought me to this.. my mum was a quite moderate jw, she even got publically reproved once.
in our house, there was no daily text, no family study, no eating together, no preaching together, no watchtower study...even though she regularly checked my wt to see if i studied it.. being a single mother, she had a quite busy work schedule, so from the moment she woke up to the moment she went to bed, you'd better not waste a single minute of her time needlessly.

Makes you wonder how many of those testimonials given by the JWs at the meetings are fake. -

At the Kingdom Hall
by paradisebeauty ini was thinking of starting a topic on thoughts that go through your mind while attending meetings.... right now i am at the meeting and thinking ... we study about jesus's courage to stand by rightness and truth, about him getting in conflict with religious leaders who thought of themselves as experts of the law, jesus understood truth and god differently of them and he had the courage to speak out!.
so we study this, but after that we draw the concluzion that courage is to go preaching and identify yourself as a witness .... well, this in not what i understand from jesus's courage!.

The Searcher,
"If it was virtually any other church in Christendom, I could challenge/question what was said..."
I think you overestimate the tolerance of quite a few other sects. Only amongst liberal Christians is there any tolerance but amongst most Fundamentalists there is none.

I was once criticized by the Circuit Overseer for having a case that was too big out in field service. I used to have a wide variety of literature that I could place with different kinds of householders. -

A coordinated effort to bring up Watchtower pedophelia to the public's attention.
by Village Idiot ina statement that phizzy made on jonathan drake's thread on flyers gave me the following ideas.. we should make a flyer on the issue of the watchtower pedophilia issue written with the object of alerting the public about the jw door to door activity.
phizzy suggested the title, "the paedophile at your door".. on that flyer should be the contact information of our most informed member on the subject who's willing to talk to the media.
barbara anderson perhaps?.

Lisa Rose,
"There really is very little danger to the public, because the vast majority of people are completely uninterested in Jehovah's Witness are are hardly going to allow one to allow one to gain access to their children."
The public in general may not be interested in the Jehovah's Witnesses but show them the video clip below and they will develop an interest. Start at the 22:20 minute mark:

I believed in it, as a teenager, though I had a detached attitude towards it. The elder who had studied with me said that I should picture myself in the "New Order". That would supposedly keep one faithful. It didn't work for me. -

cha ching, "I mean we really, really, really wanted Armageddon to 'hold off' so that we could see the next one!"
Did they wish for the brutal death of all the actors who entertained them?

Simon,
"If someone else has a higher rate then why not warn about them - aren't they a bigger risk?"
Would this someone else be going door to door seeking converts?
Talesin,
"Note: It's illegal to put flyers in mailboxes in Canada."
In the United States as well but it's all right to leave them on doors.
