i believe that many religions try to make their adherents feel guilt.
and of course, the witnesses are no different and imo, are more guilty than most.
people go to a meeting during a snowstorm because the elders feel it's not that bad.
One elder was giving a talk and he mentioned how many times a day we should pray.He said if we can count the amount of times on our fingers,then its not enough
That explains the litany in my head, "Dear Jehovah, please forgive me for what I've done." It plays over and over, even now. Sometimes I think it will drive me crazy.

this is just some general information for outsiders, (non witnesses) who want to know how to get the witnesses to leave them alone.. .
each kingdom hall has an assigned area their members are responsible for doing the door to door preaching.
it may be the whole town or, if there are more than one congregations, the town or city will be divided up between halls.
Hi Maverick,
A friend of mine, an ex nun, enjoyed her discussions with the JWs who stopped by. But one day she decided enough is enough. She asked them to stop coming by, etc. Their answer, "You have to go to the Kingdom Hall and ask not to be called on." Needless to say, she told them no way, and to take her name off themselves.

Idiotic behavior by idiotic people. I'm sorry you've been hurt by them.

on saturday night i met a former elder at a birthday party.
i knew a little bit about him, and asked if i could talk to him.
see, i handled it all wrong from the start, a "sister asking for advice.
Thanks, guys. i guess you're right.

OK you guys, I thought I edited it!!! Don't tell me I have to type it all over, I'll chicken out for sure.

On Saturday night I met a former elder at a birthday party. I knew a little bit about him, and asked if I could talk to him. See, I handled it all wrong from the start, a "sister asking for advice." I should have kept it casual. He led me out to an adjoining room, and we talked for quite a while. Well, he talked. I found out he left in '92 and was disfellowshipped. He knew nothing about the generation change or the UN scandal. I tried to quote the Watchtower issue about the generation thing, he kinda believed that, but questioned the Un involvement. Like how did I know this for sure. I gave him the plowbitch web site and my e-mail address. Now I realize the web site is gone. I really screwed up and missed a good chance to let him know the real truth. I want to track him down and give him more web sites to look up. He's a very intelligent and well educated man and would probably accept things if they were presented logically. On the other hand, he says he couldn't care less what the Watchtower is up to, it's just not important in his life. I just can't believe this, maybe I'm obsessed with this, but I want him to know!! Should I try to get his e-mail addy or just wait for him to contact me, (which will probably never happen.) He's definately not an apostate, does not celebrate Christmas (we happened to be out of the room when they sang HappyBirthday, he doesn't do that either.) i think He's a believing walkaway, he knows Jehovah is a loving God, etc. I am so wound up over this, witnessing as a JW never felt like this. SO now what? Thank you for reading this.

we go through cycles every so often here.
we get new posters every week and at times we lose some posters.
when most "newbies" find this site, they are thrilled to be able to express themselves in a way that they could never in a kingdom hall.
I had the priviledge of meeting Simon and Angharad in Florida. I always pictured him as the "crocodile hunter" on TV. What a surprise to find him so sweet and humble! And Angharad is just a doll. Many of us literally owe our lives to them. Hope I'm not sounding too meladramatic here, but it's the truth.
