The problem with Jw's is they are taught that if things are not going well for them is must be thier fault. They are going out in service enought, not putting thier trust in Jehovah, not attending all meetings. They always have some lame excuse and if all else fails it is satans fault. Satan is targeting you.

Using their own techniques
by outofthebox inyou know how they teach that you should come back to people houses because they circumstances may change and if they may be receptive to the good news(tm)?.
we know what that means: "if somebody has problems he/she will be vulnerable and may see you as an angel sent by god and they will believe 1914 easily.".
but here is the twist: why don't use their methods against them?.

Do you consider your time as a JW wasted time??
by karter inmany of us have devoted a lot of time and energy to the jw's at the expense of other things like education , planing for retirement , family time just to name a few.. i don't consider it all wasted time there was a lot of good i learnt however i'm doing things now as a jw i never would have.. i don't have the same time pressure and never fell guilty about taking a lot of time out for myself as one elder said to me"if we don't keep you brothers real busy in the work of the kingdom you get swallowed up by the world" .

Yes, it was a total waste of time. I regret every minute that we wasted in that cult. My children were young when we got sucked in and now they are young adults. I feel like I need to make up for lost time.

Headship Rules?
by ThomasCovenant inscenario: .
if two elders were to call and ask to speak to my wife with regard to meeting attendance etc, is there anything in the society's literature that i could use to show that they would have to approach me as the 'head of the household' first and and get my permission?.

They play it both ways. If you are not baptized or they feel you are taking the lead then they feel they do not need to ask you. They are there to give spiritual guidance to your wife and that supercedes your position.

did anyone on here ever have a paedophile in thier congregation?
by looloo inif so, did it bother you that he had been reprooved and forgiven rather than reported to the police?

sure did. A teenage boy was raping his own sister. The elders knew about it and they did nothing. The publishers were told that Jehovah will deal with it in his own time.

Almost every time it was a meeting night I felt under the weather. It would be a headache, backache, stomach upset. I felt great on on meeting nights. It was really bad for me during the conventions. I cannot remember the last time I stayed for the whole thing. I feel great since leaving the org, no headaches, backaches etc. The org truely makes people sick.

If you had a Time Machine would you stop yourself being a Witness???
by Witness 007 inwhat if you wen't back in time and stopped your mother from opening the door to the witnesses...and your family never came into the truth!!
what if you risked changing everything else in your life...not having kid's or the same marriage partner...would it be worth it.
