Iamallcool - I get junk mail for my dad and for one of my brothers frequently. Odd - since they never lived here. But what seems exra odd is for JW's to link them to my address. It's like they bought a leads list from somewhere.
Oh well.

Witnessing by Mail - Where Do They Get the Addresses From???
by AudeSapere in.
i'm wondering where the publishers get their address lists when they do 'witnessing-by-mail'.. i live in a gated community (moved here 6-years ago).
this week i received a letter addressed to my *parents* (mr. & mrs. xxxxxxx xxxxx) who have been divorced for 17 years and neither of whom have *ever* lived at this address.. i'm thinking the "mr & mrs" part is just an assumption on their part.. from time to time i get mail address to my father (blue cross solicitations, etc), but he has never used my address as his own and has never lived here.. any suggestions as to just how the local cong would get his name and my address on their mailing list??????.

Petitebrunette - I guess if they had the address, the could also do look up on the net.
It's just odd because they've got my dad's full name and *my* address even though he never lived here. So made me curious as to whether they were buying listings or something.
Oh well. The letter's in the trash now.

For those that wonder about the content of a 'witness-by-mail' letter, here is transcript:
Mr. & Mrs. XXXXXXX XXXXX
[Address]
[City, St Zip]
Dear Neighbor:
Whether or not one is a Bible reader, it is important to recognize the warning it gives to people of our generation, that we are living in the time of the end of this system of things. The evidence is more than apparent. Please read Matthew chapter 24.
Most people are aware of the "Lord's Prayer" recorded at Matthew 6:9,10,where we ask for "God's Kingdom to come, and His will to be done on earth", but few are aware that that Kingdom (government) is already established in the heavens, and that soon it's King, Jesus Christ, will execute judgment upon the earth, and thereafter rule the earth in righteousness.
We do not know the day or the hour, however, the bible does not leave us in the dark as to the nearness of the time. We need to be aware, so that we can make the right choices in our life, and be on the side that survives into the New World under Christ's rule.
I am enclosing a tract with further information on the subject, and invite you to write the address below for further information or a visit to your home, if desired. Please be assured there is no cost or obligation. We may also be contacted at our website www.watchtower.com
Sincerely,
Dxxxx Wxxx
East XXXXXXXXX Congregation
of Jehovah's Witnesses
[Address]
[City State Zip]

Costs of Circuit Assembley
by Gorbatchov inrecent we had a circuit assembley.

1.040.000 annually for a building that is paid off, uses volunteer labor for maintenance and the speakers are also not paid.
That's a pretty good little scam, don't you think??

Had a Frustrating Discussion with Mom...
by tenyearsafter inmy 80 something year old mom is a die hard jw, but to her credit, she has not shunned me.
as would be expected, she is always "praying" that i return to jah and get reinstated.
is consistent...every time my wife and i see her, she always tries to steer the conversation to "how bad the world" has become.. today, she escalated the "theocratic attack" by coming out directly and asking me what i thought of world conditions.

DOC and Lifestooshort make a good point.
You wrote: It is certainly a slippery slope to see how far you can take the discussion before you are labeled an apostate.
It's mighty slippery. And oh! so easy to take that little step over the line!!
I think we all understand your frustration. It's so nice that you both still have a workable relationship.
I'm just a little jealous. Probably other posters are, too.
Maybe just reassure her that you are 'good' with Jehovah. And let her rest easy and not fret so much about your eternal life.

Many on this forum rush to judgement and immediately criticize anything Koolaid-man posts. Strong minded reasonable ones wait patiently, research the content in the thread and without hesitation listen to the conference call before making a premature evaluation.
You were soooo trained by the WTS. Writing style direct from HQ.
It unnerves me.
