WTS response to 9/11
by Robert7 ini'm sure this has been discussed in length, but i'm a newbie :).
one item that really shocked me, back when i believed this was 'the truth' was the lack of response to the 9/11 attacks.
as all of us, we were really shocked and really were looking for comfort at the meeting (school/service meeting).

I remember I went out in service that day.. no one answered the door and none of the people I was with thought that maybe it was a bad day to go. crazy, hil

Brother Jed
by hilannj inbrother jed came to my college campus today.
he and his partner told us all that we were going to hell for drinking and doing drugs.
i don't get the guy, does he really think that he is going to save anyone telling them that they are going to hell with out even knowing what they do, there was one guy there who is an atheist, but the greatest part was that brother jed even made the christians on campus mad, they felt they we being misrepresented by him, so they made signs that said we are christians and we love everyone!

I listened to the different sides of the arguments for about an hour and found it very entertaining. But the only thing that I was really convinced of was that maybe I don't want to be a Christian if that is how they act, and I think that is all that most of the rest of my campus thought as well.

Must JWs Confirm They're JWs?
by Simon G Best ini was just wondering.
is there some sort of doctrine, or belief, principle, rule or whatever, that says that jehovah's witnesses, when asked, must confirm that they're jehovah's witnesses?
(one possible basis for such a rule, that comes to mind, is the bit about peter denying jesus three times before the cock crowed.).

When I was little I was taught that if asked outright I should say yes, but if I was out in service and they said who are you with, or what church are you in, I was to that saying Watchtower Bible and Tract Soc. was fine, since I wasn't actually lying.

Visit From The Elders
by Lloyd Braun in"well, are we stopped?
" (dark helmet) ... "we're stopped sir" (colonel sanders) - spaceballs 1987. the inevitible and imminent visit that i had hoped was going to be quite a bit further down the road from now has just occurred.
i am growing paranoid while at the same time welcoming this.

act offended that they could even think such a thing and then leave, this way you are not exactly telling a lie..

I still haven't got over that, yet. I still feel just a little bit uncomfortable when my husband's friends stop by when he is not home.. I am working on it and it makes me mad!

Why don't Witnesses indentify themselves at the door when in service?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inmy 17 year old daughter told me 2 men were at the door saturday looking for adults that lived in the house.my wife and i were out of town for 2 days.they had suits on and carrying book bags.
they asked if she was over 18. she replied that she wasn't.
they left without indentifiying themselves.

we were told to say.. representatives of the watchtower bible and track society.. they would think it was something way different and that way we were not technically telling a lie, just stretching the truth.

my mom hasn't invited me to the memoral.
by hilannj ini guess she has given up on me completely, or has accepted the fact that i am not coming back..
any one else?

She hasn't invited me since the first year I left and i have been out for 4. She is pushy with everything else, maybe she just doesn't really think it is important for me to go to it.. I mean all you do is look at a glass of wine and some bread, I can do that at home, and I then I can drink the bottle.. much better.
