In my are there are signs saying no cold calling. In other words you don't call on someone without an invitation. Unfortunately I'm told it does not apply to religious callers

27JW's are so hot on their views being respected but they do not respect anyone elses!
by highdose injw's face a tide of "no"s and "not interested"s everytime they go banging on the doors, surely it would have occurred to them by now that the vast majority of the public don't want to know and don't want them at their doors.
but do they acknowledge or listen to this?
regardless of wether they have priviously been told not to call or not still they come.. they claim that its because jesus has comanded them to do so.

Broken promises. I presume you understand that some people know more about a subject than others. Barbera and some others on this site have worked very closely with the governing body in the past. Will they be better informed than someone who just reads about it? Of course they will.
In any facet of life, there are ones who know the subject better than the ordinary man in the street. So nothing whatsoever to do with a heirarchy, just common sense to pay attention to someone who has a lot more experience on the subject than us. (been there got the teashirt!)

Worldy opposition is interpreted as confirmation of the truth
by MrMonroe ininteresting comment on the talk page of the wikipedia article on the governing body here:.
one dopey jw (wandering-teacher) who complained that the article was "biased" against the jws was supported in a comment by another assumed jw (galik) who whined that the article was "peppered with quotes from known opposers of jehovah's witnesses in order to use this article as a propaganda vehicle".. wandering-teacher replied: "thanks for the support, galik.
the difficulty of having a neutral point of view in the ... article strengthens my faith that i have made the correct religious choice for me.".

From the very first bible study they have, JWs are told they will get opposition.
What they do not tell you or understand, is that any opposition is normally from friends and family who do not want you to ruin your life by becoming involved in a religion that takes away your identily and proper reasoning powers.

How to identify a JW from a distance
by Bungi Bill inmuch has apparently been said in recent years about how a "good" jw should be dressed and groomed, so as to be easily identified - even from a distance.. yesterday, while driving through town, i did see two people the distance:.
- and certainly, by the way they were dressed, my suspicions were aroused.. - however, what confirmed their identity was not their dress and grooming.
rather, as i drove up closer, i noticed both of them doing the "pioneer shuffle" up somebody's driveway:.

by ThomasCovenant in1983 yearbook p11.. the puerto rico branch tells about an interested person who was studying with a special pioneer but whose husband showed no desire to do so.
one day his five-year-old daughter said, "daddy, i want to grow up so i can be baptized.
" later she said, "daddy, please study the bible with jehovah's witnesses so that you will not be destroyed and then you can be with us in paradise.

It is actually amazing that the sheep have no idea about loads of things that have happened in the JW history.
I find that witnesses that comment on JW forums, know much more than the average witness. And of course these forums help ex witnesses as well, as we tell each other some of the crazy things we never new about when we were in the org.
