in the march 1st and march 15th issues of the watchtower, there is a paragraph in the study article about.

the help that angels give in the preaching work.. however, i have noticed something not mentioned before - watchtower uses the phrase "too numerous to be dismissed as coincidence" twice.. quotes are below:.

2. experiences
since i left the jw's i never wear a neck tie!

i probably have 75 to a 100 of them, but they don't seem to wear them in any churches, do not wear them to weddings and funerals, or even to exclusive restaurants.

i'm certainly never going back to the kingdom hall!.

Loaded Words
by new light in
1. jw
2. experiences
the other day a jw relative referred to two otherwise anonymous women in the back seat of a car as "two sisters", as in 2 female jws.

neither of us knows them, and they were peripherals to the main story, but the use of the word "sisters" as opposed to women implied certain superiority, as if what happened matters more because the two women were jws.

the psychological oddities of the jws become more apparent with each passing day.

Going door to door to recruit members doesn't work
by JH in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
when you look at all the hours they do going door to door world wide and then you look at how many hours preaching it takes to bring just 1 person to their organization, it's not efficient.. my mom goes to a baptist church now, and i was surprised to know that 500 go to that meeting on sundays and they don't go door to door to go get these people.. there might be 80 witnesses at my hall and going door to door doesn't make much of a difference.

maybe it's even counter productive since people don't like being pested at home..
