The comments on how ineffective the door to door work actually is has set me thinking. When asked why JWs insist on harrassing people at home, I would always say "Because it works", but obviously it doesn't.

Of course the assumption is that 1 hour reported is 1 hour spent preaching, and that probably is not the case. However, the fact still stands that doorstep recruitment is not working. So why do they keep on doing it?

Habit? Bloodymindedness? Something unpleasant to prove how faithful they are? Do the GB make them carry on because they can?

i continue to read how franz is to blame for every wrong because, after all, he was on the governing body and he had to know everything that went on.

some here say, "let's drop this issue".

these same ones continue to bring it up.

I thought we were supposed to blame the WTBTS for everything! Is this New Light (TM)?

OK, I can do this. Traffic jams on the M6! All the Watchtower's fault....I mean Ray Franz's fault.....

are you a cool person?

do you wish you were a "cool" person?

does the jw way of life get you to the point that you have lost that coolness?

Honeymooners!!

by LuckyLucy in

where did you go and was it fun or not.

We went to Alaska. The 22 hour journey from the UK was.......a long day.

We stayed in a log cabin in Denali National Park. We went dog sledding. We went on a boat trip from Seward and saw orcas, sea otters and whales. We saw bears and wolves and moose and caribou. I ate lots of halibut. We walked to a glacier.

I was woken with hundreds of kisses every morning. I will never think of the Historic Anchorage Hotel without smiling.

It was wonderful.

my grandma was a remarkable woman, with a sense of humour that could crack me up.

and she had the determination to make everything she started a success.

she never gave up, and fought for everything she hold dear.

Hypothetical Situation

by TR in

when you were a child, say, 6 to 10 years old, you were molested by a friend's dad several times.

suddenly, they move, not to be be seen again, until.... thirty five years later.

you see the perv with his son(your childhood friend) at a store.
