  Just drove by my local KH

  i just drove by my local kh at 10:30 wednesday oct 25 and noted 18 cars in the parking lot.

  this contrasts from just last wednesday when there where 60 cars in the lot.

  this shows that the turn out for service is down by 75% in a one week period.. i guess alot of dubs have placed their tracts.

  "Thats what you get for leaving Jehovah"

  that is what my mom told me when i got bit by a brown recluse spider.. i was in ohio, visiting my daughter and my mom was there trying to convert me back.

  she even said if i go back, we would get custody of my daughter..... well....i drove myself there from ks and somehow had gotten bitten right before i left.

  it was right between my eyes, and my head started swelling up on the way there.

  Active JWs, hows KN37 going?

  by StillGroggy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hey everybody, i had an interesting time pushing a tract that i don't believe in this weekend.

  i had to develop my own method of placing it without having to talk about it, since i fear if i was confronted by someone asking "do you people think you're the only true religion", i might break down and tell the person at the door "no, i don't".

  the witness at the door with me would scream in terror, and i would be insta-dfed.

  My family comes before anyone else, that is the answer to all your questions. Although it seems like my answers don't matter to you anyway sKally.

  "Surely Anitar knows what she speaks of when talking about what jws really go door to door for...you disagree with any of it? Do you agree that the field work is about recruitment, overall...the ultimate goal? Do you think the householder should be informed about fraudulent salesmen/ women at their door? That jws are really only there as a sales tool?"
  
  Were these the questions sKally?
  
  I definitely think door to door is ALL about recruitment. I think that the householder should know the truth about the WTS. I agree with you, the Door-to-Door work is DANGEROUS.
  
  I don't plan on staying "groggy" for long. I just found out the truth about WTS myself, so once I try to get my wife out (Whether successful or not), IM out.
  
  For now, I just try to make my service as innefective as possible. (Don't follow up on Returns)
  
  I guess we agree on various points allot sKally, we're just at different places in our relation to the WTS.
  
  Did I miss anything???

  anyone know of a good home based business to get int?

  i had a topic on melaleuca and found out from all the comments that it wasn't what i want to get involved in.

  i need to do some type of home based business due to disability situation, i am handicapped and not able to be on the job market anymore so would appreciate any help or ideas at all.

  I don't know of any "work-from-home" things on the net that AREN'T ripoffs, but I run a home based business based on years I spent in my field. Before you were disabled, what sort of work did you do? Maybe you could find a blogging job for a blog about that field of interest, or moderate an about.com area.
  
  In other words, if you were a plumber, you could blog about the plumbing field and run plumbing.about.com. (not sure if this exists) Both would be paid positions, and both would be home-based.
  
  Just my two cents.
  
  Give me a starting point and I'll do some searching fer ya!

  Progress with my wife

  by under_believer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, progress continues.

  i no longer directly attack my wife's beliefs... i leave her with questions to ponder and give her research assignments.

  if there's one thing the witnesses taught me, it's how to talk to people in a nonthreatening way about their beliefs.

  The Abuse Never Seems to Stop !!!

  by Amazing in

  2. friends

  there is yet another case of child abuse.

  this time it is in new york, where a jw man was convicted of multiple felony counts of attempted molestation young boys.

  yes, the watchtower society of jehovah's witnesses does have a serious problem that is not going away.

  When witnesses ask me what I think, I don't give em the usual "How terrible for Jehovah's name" response.
  
  I just say "Good!, witness or non-witness that perv deserves what's coming to him"
  
  They usually follow with something about how bad a witness it is.
  
  JWs are obsessed with how we look to the world, yet we're supposed to be no part of it.

  by hambeak in

  I went to a materialistic cong where people were having diamond ring size / fur-coat price competitions with each other.
  
  However, Wealthy congos are probably good for faders. Many times there people would ask me "Where've you been" when I never missed a meeting. They were too self-involved and the cong was too big to notice you.

  What would you say is the main reason why people didn't listen to us?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i started going out door to door, i was sure i'd bring a couple of people with me to the org.

  i knew my parents believed in god and the bible, so i was sure i'd be able to convince them with a few simple verses that we had the truth.

  but no, they didn't seem convinced enough to want to study.

  Many don't listen because they haven't been "broken" by something bad happening in their life.
  
  You've got to break someone's spirit (or trick them) to get them to sign their life over.
