July 15th WT out - Coming out Swinging at Apostates Hard
by LostGeneration inthis is one of the most aggressive watchtowers i think i have ever read.. four study articles on not "following the crowd" not following unrealities(page 13) not following false teachers, meaning apostates of course(p 15).
avoiding false teachers means "refusing to read their literature, watch tv programs that feature them, examine their web sites, or add comments to their blogs.
(para 7, pg 16).

Too funny! Guess watchtower land doesnt want to use big words anymore for their followers to look up, that could mean you may run into apostate material along the way. Gotta use 4 yr old story book words so everyone gets it and no one has to look up word meanings. The more uneducated you are means the less likelihood of thinking for yourself and leaving.
If Jw's are so protected against satan, then why fear apostate material? They make no sense.

Oh, I was also on the stage at an assembly and once at a convention to 'encourage' others to become pioneers like myself. I spent more time preparing my speech for that than I did preparing for service.

I was a regular pioneer, and I probably had a total around 15 hours the entire year. I also added hours to my husbands already low time every month just so he could continue to hold a microphone. No one noticed I was never out in service and there were 15 other pioneers in the hall I went. hehe!

Latest research findings: The more believers doubt their own beliefs, the more they proselytize in favor of them .
by AndersonsInfo inon december 10, 2010, appearing in our local newspaper was an article titled, social science palooza, written by columnist, david brooks.
"every day, hundreds of thousands of scholars study human behavior.
every day, a few of their studies are bundled and distributed via e-mail by kevin lewis, who covers the social sciences for the boston globe and national affairs.

I believe to some extent that is true. Personally I feel I continued to attend meetings and preaching to make myself not think about the reality that what I was doing may not be true. Almost like I had to continue to prove to myself that its true. But It was easy for me to eventually give it up as not being true and stop doing those things because I had no family or friends in the religion. I only attented for 5 years and I knew of life outside of JWs.
For someone who only knows that way of life or has all their family and friends in it and has been doing it for years, then yes I think they would continue to do it for reasons like peer pressure or for reasons that they know no other life, just like an animal who is trapped in a cage and knows nothing else. If the person has some doubts but feel they are stuck, then continueing to preach and attend meetings may be a means of justifying those doubts. Someone in that situation could have guilt if they left and guilt can be a powerful tool to motivate someone to do or not to do something.
Every person is different, every situation is different.
