According to my time cards I made exactly one a month for who knows how many years. I did make a point to rack up so called return visits which were actually just people I was sure wouldn't be home, that way I could use up all that time driving there and not have to talk to anyone. That's right, I was mr. productive.

The Watchtower's Unbalanced View of the Internet
by VM44 inin articles concerning the internet, some of which have been titled "a balanced view of the internet", the watchtower devotes the first paragraph or two to the benefits that the internet offers and has provided.
.
then for the rest of the article they go on and on about the dangers and evils of the internet.. they have been consistent in writing in this manner in all the articles they have written concerning the internet.. can the watchtower itself truly be said to have a "balanced" view of the internet?.

I guess I'm just a sucker for pictures of people in the ministry. Especially when they are wearing native clothing and preaching to someone holding a basket. It just warms my heart. I also like the FAQ page, it answers everything you might need to know about using your credit card to donate.

I have also been trying to fade, and have gotten great advice here from people like Blondie. As hard as it is, you want to draw the least attention possible. That means having to bite your tongue a lot; every time somebody says something you know is stupid and untrue. And I cannot agree more with the "less said the better" approach. Don't ever let yourself get into a position where you are answering questions. Turn it around by saying you of course want to do better and then blame it on money. Nobody wants to help you with money. Anything but that!

Actually, I think the internet is really dangerous. You could accidentally end up at www.jwgift.org and get tricked into charging up your credit card with donations to the society. Then the stress of trying to pay off your credit cards would cause you to lose your job, after which you would end up with a laptop and a pack of cigarettes on the couch. Oh, the horror of it all.

What Was Your "Ministry" Like?
by minimus injws are supposed to all be "ministers".
actually, because of their status, they can avoid the military, perform wedding ceremonies and have the same rank as "clergyman".
all witnesses, once baptized automatically become "ministers"........ describe what type of "minister" you were.

Welcome!
I would start with her assumption that only JWs live a clean, moral, upstanding way of life. I would use jw tactics against her; start with a common ground, which is the fact that you also place a high importance on such a moral way of living. Then I would ask her a question, like "has someone been able to prove to you from the bible that the watchtower organization is god's only approved group of people on the earth?" Then recommend that she prove that fact to herself before dedicating her life to an organization. Ask her if she understands what her position will be if the society ever changes it stance on something she feels strongly about. Will she be allowed freedom of thought, if she can solidly back up her opinion? Or will she face possible expulsion if she does not follow the watchtower's new outlook?
Then back off and let her know you are available if she has any questions.
