  If JWs get reviled at the door

  by greendawn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  if some jws get reviled at the door by someone who dislikes them how would you feel for them, would you identify with their position, perhaps recalling a similar experience from the past jw days, and pity them or would you say they deserve what they get, because perhaps they shun you as an ex dub.

  i would rather pity them for being naive fools.

  such incidents make them feel like martyrs that have the truth.

  0-16. My Story.

  by serotonin_wraith in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was raised from the womb until the age of 16 as a jw, i was never really a part of it.

  i never got baptized, by the end i hated everything about it.

  the worst part was not being able to voice any opinions i had on the religion, not unless i wanted them to fall on deaf ears and be considered immoral.

  well ive just registered with the site and not sure what to make of it.

  i feel i shouldn't be here.... anyway i'm just a normal 17 year old lad from the uk who is a bit confused at the minute.

  i want nothing more than to go out and enjoy myself with my mates in the world but it proves difficult.

  How False Can You Be Now?

  by serotonin_wraith in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi, my first post but i'll get more into my background later.. i was raised as a jw for sixteen years, one good thing that came from it was my learned ability to lie extremely convincingly using body language and speech.

  not just through how they taught you to act, but by leading a double life for so long just to survive childhood.. so how about you?

  how false are you able to act now and do you find it helps?

  "Slogging" - the top speed at which JWs go door to door

  by LovesDubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know this topic has been beat to death probably in here...but i was watching some of the "friends" going down my street the other day (and they categorically skip my house because satan and i are tight you know) and it reminded me so much of how much i hated going door to door and how i prayed when it was my turn to knock that nobody was home.

  and we walked down those streets with our little territory cards in hand, making anywhere from meticulous to rediculous notes about the house we were just at...and moving our feet as slowly as we possibly could to maintain a forward motion at all, to eat up the time we were forced to (yes i said forced to) report every month.

  field service was what you called the time you spent between when you were at mcdonalds and dunkin donuts.

  Spirituality vs. Religion - what's the difference?

  by truth_about_the_truth in

  here is an excerpt from a book called "fresh wisdom-breakthrough to enlightenment" that really hits the point:

  the con of religion

  we have never met a christian who has given up everything and followed christ.

  No desire to be religious

  by TR in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when people hand out religious flyers, which a young man did today, i feel annoyed, like a salesman trying to hock his wares when i don't need what he's selling.. the young man and the church he represented were a lot less intrusive with their ministry than jw's, though.

  that's why it angers me to know that jw's go out of their way to disrupt peoples lives with a bogus religion at the prodding of the likes of the wts.

  it's like a yugo car salesman knocking on doors telling people how good the company is.
