  Please send me Watchtower Society........to peddle your literature!

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  now that i look back,all witnesses are used to do the societies dirty work and peddle watchtower literature .the ministry school is used as a tool to go out and sell books.new members must go out and preach or else they cannot get baptized.young children are called ''publishers'' even if they don't know anything about the bible.the elderly who cannot walk must do phone witnessing or else they will be on the irregular preaching list.

  ten hours a month averages are stressed so you feel like your not doing enough.

  "pioneer for the summer" talks are another means to push everyone that is out of school or has summer vacation.sell all the old stock of books{197 page books} that are sitting in the warehouse.pass out pamplets and the list goes on.if you don't ,the new recruits will!

  Why is the Watchtower Society so cruel to teens?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my mom just informed me that a 17 year old has been disfellowshipped at her hall.at least 7 others have been kicked out within the last 5 years.the publisher count is only 56 .why do they let the teens get baptized so young?

  i was 14 and only got baptized because of pressure and the end was coming.if you weren't baptized you would be destroyed.. why don't they wait until everyone is at leat 21?

  all these teens haven't come back and you won't ever see them unless they return.i haven't seen my cousin in over 2 years.no one went to his wedding,isn't invited to any family functions and is to be avoided at all costs.. the watchtower society should be ashamed that they act that way and the parents let them get away with it..

  we thought we were zealous.now i look back and see how stupid we were.

  Why I joined this forum...

  2. experiences

  <div>my very first visit to this website several years ago, was because i wanted to find out what the few surprises were going to be at the sydney 2003 convention.

  (i have family that are jehovahs witnesses but i am not) .

  it took a few months to sink in, but i gradually came to accept the real truth that these surprises are nothing of the sort.

  "Deliverance at Hand" District Convention Invitation

  by Elsewhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  truthsetsonefree has provided spiritual food at the proper time by emailing me these scans.... this is the little hand-bill invitation for the next district convention that we've been hearing about.

  considering the fact that most jws never actually read such things before handing them out, i suspect that many people will be given these things but never actually told when and where the convention will be held!

  on the back it says: "the local congregation of jehovahs witnesses invites you to attend the convention that will be held at the time and location shown here.

  What Things Irritated You While A Witness?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i used to hate it when i'd listen to brother blow give his long winded comment about how we're all supposed to do this or that----and he was barely considered a witness......we had a few elders, and especially the po who would go overtime just because they could.

  the po's bookstudy always went overtime.

  45 minutes into the meeting he was still on paragraph 3. and he would read every scripture including the ones quoted!!!

  lol!!

  okay i know this is a dumb question, but was it just me or did we seem to have a lot of janitors and landscape people in that religion.

  i did know a couple of higher paying professions in our congregation, nurses, large business owners and a couple of retail managers.
