Here's something I don't get...I was reading in a jw publication(I think it was "Proclaimers of God's Kingdom"that the early witnesses only had to go in,sit down and listen to a talk.They never even had to raise their hands or utter a word.Didn't go door-to door either,and yet most if not all of them claimed to be of the "anointed class".Nowadays if you don't comment at every meeting,spend most of your free time in field service and give talks yourself on the TMS(which they didn't even have in those days) you are made to feel like your'e not even worthy to live on the earth,let alone Heaven.So what's up with that?What did they do to make God love them more?

POSTING HERE
by Bhagavad in.
if you did not still have some kind of umbilical connection to jehovah's witnesses, you would not have to keep posting here.. i hope you all appreciate my opinion of you, as well as of simon.
there's lots of the world to be experienced out of this freaking site.

WHAT TYPE OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
by minimus inwhat type of personality do you really have?
do you have the same personality in person that you do on-line?
some of us here seem to be rather private and others appear to be very good at communication.

I am more introverted in person than I am on-line.I have a good outlook on life and I am enjoying life to the full now.

DF = DA = non-assocciation?
by truman ini was wondering if anyone else is feeling it on the wind that there seems to be a coming.
equivilency between officially disassociating onesself, and simply being in a state of.

I saw a pioneer at Wal-mart the other day who I thought was my friend at one time.When she spotted me she just waved and kept going.She had been coming to my housefor a while trying to get me to go back ,but suddenly stopped.It seems like she has been warned not to associate with me in any way.

DISPROVE THE FAITHFUL AND DISCREET SLAVE
by minimus inone of the most ingrained things for long time witnesses to change their viewpoint on is the fds.
i believe that due to the constant information at the meetings, conventions, publications and elder's talks, the doctrine of the faithful slave is pounded into everyone's heads.once a person sees the misunderstanding of this teaching, it's easier to critically see the wrongness of the watchtower.
can you suggest easier, less complicated rebuttals to this doctrine?
