one thing that i am becoming more and more aware of is that jehovah's witnesses can be mighty irritating people.
for example, a few jw's were gossipping about how the elders are stupid and useless.then in the same breath, when someone has a problem, one of them will ask,"why don't you tell the elders about this, so you can get some help?
" or you'll hear people complain about how there's nobody that treats them nice, and yet they are the biggest complainers in the world.
minimus,
:he gets annoyed because they wave to him like typical Witnesses..
what weird freinds you have. I can't believe he can be that mean spirted. Ask him if he ever learned anything whilst being a Jdub

lately, more and more people are leaving "the truth".
did anyone affect you to also consider leaving "the truth"?.
Yup
i noticed quite a few former elders commenting on the thread:

i thought it was amusing that about 20 percent of the bethelites in my department at bethel have left the organization.
If MS counts, count me in
14 years ..............could not keep my mouth shut long enough to get promoted, or get the secret hand shake.

maybe someone can answer this.
i thought that elders made it a point to visit df'd ones like 1 a year to see if they've thought about coming back, etc.
don't get me wrong, i'm happy they haven't come to see me.

you have right on the money!

Ditto to Min. Don't bother wasting your time/life etc.
Go to an Irish Pub instead
BTW WELCOME!
one thing that the witnesses promote is how they are different from the rest of the world.
in your personal experience , did you find that you could trust a witness more than you could a non-jw?

I was raised a JW and am now Agnostic. You, on the other hand, sound more like a JW using general, one size fits all, illustrations to defend your undefendable position. Did you also know that it only takes one drop of poison to contaminate an entire glass of pure water??? Geez...
Yes I heard that worn out illustration many many times at the boring assemblies.
Are you sure you are an "agnostic"? You sound more like a dub. I say that because of your immediate, shallow minded personal attacks when ever it is that someone may have struck a nerve. Although, that would never happpen to you. Right?
let's call him "brotherx" - an elder who either has heard from the circuit overseer "by word of mouth" or has come to the conclusion himself about why jehovah's witnesses are determined to reach every person on the planet with .
"the message of hope.
" i'll try to paraphrase some of his comments.. brotherx explained to me and others in the congregation that we "work our territories to essentially decide who lives and dies at armageddon.
Dear Farkel
Haven't you heard the latest, due to 0 results of pounding on the same doors? "Dear Brothers & Sisters, never say work our territories to death, no we work them to life" i.e Jdub bible study = life

Amac,
I don't need to taste night dirt from every septic tank to know it's all bad. Are you a dub?
If you were ever a JW you have to acknowledge that honesty is talked about both in print and from the platform quite a bit, unless you were sleeping the whole time.
1.Sleeping yes, as the meetings sucked, and were excruciatingly boring. 2. talk is cheap.
I'll reiterate Jdubs are crooks, in more ways than one.
P.S. Amac Y/K, Amac Y/N is there a little similarity there? Uh Oh ! I think there is.......
