They do actually place more than 50 of those tracts per publisher... :(
by Kudra intoo bad- some folks here did a calculation and said that evin if all dubs placed all their tracts they'd only cover 300 million of the earth's inhabitants (mainly in western lands where people toss them straight in the garbage), thus only reaching a maximum of 4 1/2 % of the earth's population... .
i think many publishers, inflamed with zeal, get packet after packet of 50 tracts each for "placement in the ministry".
(eeeee- i love using those buzzwords!

"Placing" tracts in unoccupied doorsteps, mailboxes, and budget laundromats is a lot like "scattering the seeds on the rocks" darn, my vocab is slipping. I used to be better. Anyways, there are almost equal amounts of householders "placing" the tracts in the round file or in the fireplace.

Honest, kind acts we performed when we were JWs--how does it feel now?
by Pioneer Spit...oh, i mean Spirit ini just read scully's thread about returning money from the atm.
it reminded me of how common it is for hohos to do a kindness, or to return found items, then explain that 'the reason i'm so honest is that i'm a jw and we're honest people, blah blah'.
this was always disturbing to me, as though we had to draw attention to the fantasy that we were different from others and it felt like we had lost our humanity--i now realize how true that is.

Whenever I did the right thing it was because J to the izo was watching me and judging me. When I read Scully's post, I was thinking about what I told my husband last night about this one time I got a dime back from the corner store and I told my mom and she asked me what did I think Jehovah would want me to do. I had to walk my ass back there feeling like a thief. A lot of times when I did nice things, I would still try and figure out if it was the "best" thing I should've could've done. I was hoping I could keep up with the red (-)s in the book of life under 'Future XU'.

Bro and Sis Tubman, Thanks for your work. Like Rebel8 I would probably have to commit idolatry in the victorian decor bathroom. But if I was in your hall, it would be so exciting. I would be in your cargroup every time. It is really sad that some people have given up. I recently ended my quasi-relationship with my parents because it was getting to my head. It seemed impossible to work my mom up to that point, I tried, but I didn't have the patience or the vision to see it through. Maybe someday.

Does anybody feel like if not for the Internet we could have still been in
by ladione5000 inthe dark?
walking around knocking on peoples doors and telling them they are going to die if they do not follow our beliefs?.
i for one feel like this is the new world, and there is just no stopping this super highway we call the internet... it is like a whole new world, we can now talk and meet people around the world.

What is Channel C? I never really looked at the internet before leaving. But after leaving and searching for years for "my people" (where my homies at?) I finally realized after this site and Ray Franz books that I'm an "apostate" (free-thinker). For some witlesses, I'm sure Satan seems like a genius if they think all this anti-witness stuff is his doing. I remember being paranoid as an elder's kid because the bad dude was wandering around seeking to devour me or something.

JW restrictions on sex, lead to over hype that made sex disappointing.
by free2beme ini remember being a teenager and my hormones were on overdrive.
the young witnesses i knew, male and female, were all feeling the same thing.
we would bring up sex, in one form or another, all the time.

Sex. My obsession. When I was a kid it was all they ever talked about! It was all I ever thought about. I was like 10! It's so ridiculous. I also agree you can have way awesome sex with someone you met 6 hours earlier, and likewise, you can love someone in a relationship and have to go to sleep pissed off because something just wasn't right. But I think physical and emotional skills combined makes for the type of marriage/ life time partnership we are all super lucky to find, and should make every effort to keep. I was really disappointed when I got out of the cult and found out that not everyone was waiting to have sex with me. I mean, it's not too hard to get laid if you're a girl, but worldly people had more interests than fornication! I eventually toned it down a little, but getting married - I had to find someone who likes to do it as often as me. I got DF's in HS for F, but seeing all the older girls getting married, it was horrible. They all put on 30 pounds and the couple showed up glassy eyed and miserable. They were like, "These church f-ers tricked us! Marriage to some dipsh-t that I barely got to know and who doesn't know themselves is the worst idea ever." There are lucky ones, but I never saw them in the KH.
