interesting story on msnbc about "jehovahs roofing service"....notice the emphasis on only helping "fellow" brothers!.

Yeah, I just posted there again too. I even got one email from a current JW there. But the cult's hooks in their minds are very deep, and things that we say to them now may not really hit home until some point in the future when they are personally affected by cult abuses.

were you the kind that stayed up for hours the night before finding the perfect point and the perfect scripture...or were you the one that was hastily trying to through something together the morning of and panicking when you realized the circuit overseer was visiting.
and then there was me...i was lucky if i knew which magazines were "it" for that week, lucky if id read more than the first page, and developed a good deal of improve skill when that 25% "at home" rate popped up on my 1 door in 10. eeps.
im not sure if anyone realized just how seat of the pants my approach to field service actually was.
I began my career as a cult propagandist with the best of intentions, and was always well prepared with points from every article in the magazines, and scriptures too. I sold many magazines to people who bought them just to get rid of me. Eventually I became more skilled in my presentations when I discovered that no one wanted to hear them anyways. I shortened them dramatically, basically reading the title off the cover to the householders, and sales went up. It got to the point where I would not prepare at all, or even read the magazines myself. I'd just go to the door and say to the householder, "You want something to read??? It's FREE!!!"

Finally_free,
I don't agree, he is not stupid. He is evil and the deceit he practices has corrupted him to the point that he ignores the lies to keep spouting the agenda of the WBTS.
You're probably right. I was being too kind to him - it's one of my flaws.

Yup, beer's good in a pot roast. So is wine and scotch!
Not all at the same time though...

jw's are in a cult just so the watchtower can make some money, they dont care about anyone or let them do anything, all they want is money whomever is still in this religon that is considered a sheep will in fact get killed when this so called armageddon will happen which it hasn't since the first time they predicted in the year 1914, but i got a prediction the downfall of your so called religon will happen in the next 10 to 15 years
i got a prediction the downfall of your so called religon will happen in the next 10 to 15 years
I sure hope so!!! The sooner the better!
Most of us here are ex-jws. Welcome to the board.

now as much as no one wants to admit it, we all know that there are things we learned in the borg that we'll never forget even if we live to be a hundred.
what is something that you know you'll always remember (despite your best efforts to forget!
for me, it's matthew 24:14 and the names of the three hebrews thrown into the firey furnace (shadrach, meeee-shack and a-bed-we-go)

I personally would not bother raising my blood pressure talking to someone that stupid. Sounds to me like he fits right in with the whorish cult. He sounds a lot like a district overseer™ I once knew - stupid right to the core.

does anyone remember "the truth that leads to everlasting life" book?
it was blue, and was intended as a six month home study book.
i think it came out in 1974at an assembly with much fanfare and gasping!.
I remember studying that book. I was given the ultimatum too. I gave it much thought, but after remembering the brother's™ statement that Armageddon should come within 2 years as well as his statement that there would be no sex in the new system™, my decision was easy. I quit the study, thinking I'd better get my sorry ass out there and get laid while I still could. I spent the next 6 years living a wonderfully wild life.
Unfortunately the stupidity came back to haunt me and I eventually joined the cult anyway.

ok this is one for the books, my wife's great grandmother who is a miraculous 94 year old cervical and ovarian cancer survivor and a 87 year old man from the hall were just counselled on the need for a chaperon!
it seems someone was disturbed that the two were alone in her appartment!
she is practically housebound and his visits to shoot the breeze and talk about the old times were the highlight of her week.
It's this kind of stupidity that makes me wish I could rip off an elder's leg and beat him to death with the wet end.
