Fake Knock and Other Sneaky Tactics During Field Service
by sacolton inyeah, i hated "field circus".
i don't like bothering people on saturday mornings about the latest watchtower & awake magazines and try to convert them from their religon to become a jehovah's witness.
so, what i did was just wait until the group passes by and fake knocked.

If I did not feel like talking my opening line was "Good morning I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses" A sure conversation stopper Their usual response was " Not interested" But if they said " So what do you want " I was in trouble and had to think of something to say Usually I just offered the rags Oh and I never knocked very loud

Were You Happy That Jack Barr Of The GB Died?
by minimus ini read that some are quite happy that another gb bites the dust.. i think of my "faithful" elderly jw mother who helped many many families come into the "truth".
she's an intelligent woman.
however, she's blinded by her beliefs (being in a cult).

WT Society's Sly Guilt & Fear Tactics on Young People in Nov.15th WT
by flipper inas many on this board are aware- the wt society is losing younger members in big numbers.
statistics show that 2 out of 3 jw's raised in the cult leave between the age of 18 to 35. so like they always do- if the wt society sees a " need " or " problem " arising they address it in wt study articles.
thus notice how manipulative the wt society uses fear, guilt, and put down type comments to intimidate young jehovah's witnesses in this wt study article in nov. 15th issue.. under the titled article " young ones - what will you do with your life ?

Nothing is EVER good enough...
Those hammer talks based on that theme used to affect my ex so badly that one time coming back from an assembly she was trying to throw herself out of the car while I was driving Our daughter was struggling with her holding the lock down so that she couldn't. We were approaching the top of a bridge the site of many suicides. I knew that if I stopped and let her she would have been out of the car and over the side without a second thought. So it is not only the young who are affected

I can't really seek professional help. Any self-help suggestions for depression?
by easyreader1970 ini really don't have the time or the finances for a professional psychiatrist.
i know i am depressed and i know why.
the problem, as i have said before in one or two other threads, is that the solution won't really change my depression and may, in fact, make it worse.. so i am resigned to being depressed but would like to know if there are some coping techniques or other suggestions.

Is your depression caused by living with a bipolar as reading Grandma's post seems to indicate. If so I may be of some help since I lived with this for for 20 years My wife was bipolar

No Sex In the New System - It's Impossible
by mentallyfree31 infyi:.
if you think through the jw belief system, we would have to renounce sexual relations forever to get into the new system.
jw's believe that those coming back in a resurrection will not be married or given in marriage.

Jesus did not say no sex but no marriage. When I was a JW I figured since we would all be perfect then there would be none of the complications like jealousy and disease that there are now when we sleep around. So I imagined one big love fest. Single horny young brother that I was . I really looked forward to the new system

Hope for prisoners. Or, why not commit suicide?
by easyreader1970 inthis is copied from a post on reddit.com.
while i don't (yet) have the urge to remove myself from life, i can understand the hopelessness part of this.. .
the reason i am making this submission with this title is because i find my life to be mostly similar to a prisoner.

I don't see why sucide can't be a rational decision

Let her think you will go But don't She'll never know (theocratic strategy I learnt as a JW)

Is Annihilation of the Unrepentant Wicked Justice?
by Ding inwe all understand the justice argument against hell: the idea that god might decide that a wicked person's sins merit everlasting conscious punishment offends our sense of justice.. do even hitler's sins merit never-ending conscious punishment for all eternity?.
we know that the wtbts takes an annihilationist view of the "everlasting" punishment described by the bible.. they teach that there is no separate "soul" or "spirit" that survives physical death and that the ultimate fate of the unrepentant wicked is annihilation by jehovah.. let's assume for the sake of argument that they are right.. is this justice?.
over the years, the wtbts has flip-flopped on whether or not these wicked people will be resurrected for purposes of judgment or whether they simply will remain dead with no hope of any sort of resurrection.. let's look at various possibilities.

Please forgive me if I am off topic But I want to take the opportunity to express a thought that puzzles me re everlasting torment. As I understand the term eternal it does not mean unending time but being outside time not subject to time Time being a creation of God had a beginning I can't get my head around a consciousness that is not time based. Being eternal I don't believe it means suffering while you watch the seconds tick by endlessly That would be cruel and not justice
