  Hours of work, to get those talks right, and most people were not listening

  by free2beme in

  i remember one time i worked on a talk about a week.

  looking up points, cross referencing ideas, and then i get up there and i just knew most people were either asleep mentally or not paying any attention.

  who could blame them, i set in the front row doing microphones and i could hardly keep my eyes open.

  JDubs at the mall and other inventive ways to put in "time"

  has anyone else seen the jdubs at the shopping mall ??

  they sit at a table with all of their wares displayed hoping to lure people away from pottery barn and macy's.

  i did a double take when i saw this and then had to stand back and observe for about 20 minutes -- what i observed is that no one stops at the table except what appear to be fellow jdubs.

  my brother is a self proclaimed apostate.

  i see now that there is a wide variety of posters here.

  so to those that have left the witnesses what would it take to get you back?

  How Do JWs Show They're Hypocrites?

  one thing that always pissed me off was when "faithful wives" used to blame their "unbelieving husbands" for making them celebrate birthdays, exchange xmas gifts, go to "worldly" get togethers, play the lottery, etc.

  when i hit 19, and showed no signs of interest in finding a nice,suitable brother for a marriage mate, suddenly there started appearing a few "eligible" brothers from out of town at our sunday meetings.

  even stranger, they seemed to be meeting up with my parernts and sitting with us.

  stranger still, they had been invited back to our house for lunch!
