It's all about performance.
Perform and you are IN.
Don't perform and you are going to have to die at armageddon.
"i felt like it was "bait and switch", no "loving brotherhood :(?".
interesting question posted on yahoo, the problem is witnesses are not telling the truth.
how many times did you experience people not saying anything after some prolonged illness or separation from the kingdom hall for work reasons?

wt seems to be helpless in really dealing with the failed prophecies, pending dates, overlapping groups--.. what if they declare victory, blame jehovah, in that he allowed the nations to come to their senses and not further escalate the use of weaponry, "destroying [life on] the earth"?
in a second fulfillment of .
the "repentant ninevites, disappointed jonah" bible story?
It will not work.
Jehovah's Witnesses would leave by the thousands if the Watchtower told them that.
Now, if the Watchtower keeps telling them that the reason the end is so close is because of all the earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters that have occurred in the last year and the SONY hacking scandal, the commercial jets going down every week, the unrest between blacks and the police in the U.S. the wildfires in Australia, etc. the Jehovah's Witnesses will be all a twitter because they want to believe God is going to kill every nonJW on earth so they can have their material possessions.
How many times out in Field Service did you see sisters (and some brothers) point out a fine house and say that they wanted to move into it after Armageddon?
Jehovah's Witnesses anticipate God murdering 99.9% of the earth's inhabitants so they can live on paradise earth without having to see Christmas decorations, parades, football games, birthday parties and anything else that gives people pleasure.
Jehovah's Witnesses thrive on bad shit and if the Watchtower tells them that God says the nations have repented they are going to be madder than hell at their god.
one of the funniest claims made by jw's is that they offer free bible studies.
i have taken countless bible studies and i have lead a fair amount myself.
never once was money involved.. sure if you want an academic level study you will have to pay for it(i am sure though i will not be getting a scholarly level study with local jw).
Yeah, as if anyone would pay for that crap.
JWs freely study with you and all they ask in return is your soul.
Vampires.
That's putting it mildly.
Personally, parasites comes to mind when i see a group of them at Walmart with their tables overflowing with litter a turd.

If the pioneers had the Holy Spirit they wouldn't need all this BS:
Question: Why is it not helpful to compare the service of one publisher with that of another? (w13 8/15 21 par. 12)
Giving a fellow believer commendation can have a lasting, positive effect
[Relate the experiences mentioned in the August 15, 2013, issue of The Watchtower, page 21, paragraphs 10 and 11]
Questions: Have you seen the good effects of kindly encouraging others? How has their faith been built up?
It is also appropriate to encourage ones whom we meet in our ministry
The proper attitude is needed (w00 7/1 11-12 pars. 12-15)
Why do we preach?

It's just more proof that the end is NEAR and Geehoba is directing the preaching work.
All of you naysayers and pozt8s need to get back in line and board the spritzer ark so God might not kill you soon.
in 1966, he published an article, our unforgiveable trespass, in the journal clinical pediatrics, in support of jw parents denying their children blood transfusions and that article was used by the wts in their 1973 publication directed to the medical community - jehovah's witnesses alternatives to blood transfusions.. .

i am not usually impressed by human interest stories but this guy does more good in five minutes, does more to promote humanity in 5 minutes than a bus load of sterile literature carts and cartons of propaganda.. what say you, can one person make difference?

Stealth:
I will never forget when on a cold snowy winter day a homeless person walked into the Kingdom Hall saying he was hungry. I saw two elders approach this man, said we don't have any food, turn him around and send him back into the cold with instructions to go to YMCA.
I wonder if they told him that they are the only 'true' Christians on earth before they threw him back out in the cold.
