  get rich quick schemes, multilevel marketing, pyramid schemes and JWs

  by marmot in

  from my experience growing up in the jws there were two big recurring themes when it came to making money: .

  1 - window washing or other janitorial work .

  2 - cheezy "get rich quick" schemes and other cult-like sales practices .

  We had one family in our congro who were into every get rich quick scheme going so much so the P.O gave a talk about it.

  At the time they were into a travel scheme (it got shut down by the government) .

  One of them was flatting with my mate he put an ad in the newspaper and asked us to take down the phone numbers when he was out so we put down the P.o's number and he rang it .

  He was so brainwashed by these schemes when the P.o answered he went into his spiel .

  Needless to say he was called into the library next meeting

  What about your JW past are you thankful for?

  by nvrgnbk in

  in the interest of self-healing and finding the peace that comes from being grateful, can you think of anything at all that was positive about having been one of jehovah's witnesses?.

  not to be misunderstood with missing something about it, is there something about the experience that has enriched you?.

  to answer the question myself, being forced to face the fallacies of the teachings of jwism, i was also prompted to look past those teachings and reevaluate everything i believed in.. that experience was frightening and unsettling, but i'm thankful for it.. i now have a greater appreciation for life in all its wonder than i did when i took it for granted as one of jehovah's witnesses.. i'm more determined now to find meaning in this life, after having lived for so long for a future that was never to arrive..

  The ability to communicate WELL something that's helped me in business when I turn up to do a quote I can put the customer (householder) at ease and get my point across.

  The ability to get along with ANYBODY think how many arseholes in the congregation you put up with.
