  Did any of you read the Insight books cover to cover? I did, ugh.

  i was hungry for the story behind the scriptures and thought i was getting it by reading them.

  i think it was beneficial but once i got to chronology i started to throw up in my mouth.

  did you read them and what do you think now of the information your read?.

  from cover to cover? no. but i read most of them. anything to do with Daniel or Daniel's prophecy really messed with my head.

  Were you Stalked or Chased After Once you Exited the JW's by Elders ?

  i tried to fade off the map by moving 30 miles initially in 2004 after i exited in late 2003 .

  the first several years they didn't bother me.

  i ran into a elder from my former congregation in late 2005 in an antique store - he tried telling me i was wrong for stopping attending meetings.

  in the beginning of my fade a few months back, i had one elder who would call me repeatedly and show up at my house. he leaves me alone now. the rest of the boe mostly leave me alone. every so often i will get a call or see them out and about.

  when i was first appointed an ms years ago though, that first weekend of field service after the announcement was made, i was asked to go on a "shepherding call". me and an elder hop into his car and drive for two hours and then stop at a restaurant. he tells me nothing on the way about the call other than we are trying to encourage someone. we walk in and he asks if so and so is working and when they say yes he asked to be sat in her section. waitress comes up, and she has a look of astounishment on her face. he starts quizzing her about stuff. stuff like her living arrangements, if she is dating someone. i just sit there with mouth open not believing what i am seeing.

  in all the shepherding calls i was on, i dreaded his. he did stuff like this all the time. catching people off guard and in the worst places.

  most people who complain that people are ugly usually are not much to look at either. we would ask you to post a picture XPeterX but you probably would use the John Stamos "Uncle Jesse" picture from Full House. *wasnt he greek*

  Using funerals to recruit members

  i heard a somewhat amusing story from a co-worker over lunch.

  he said he was at a funeral for a jw relative, and they had a registry for guests to sign.

  his wife signed the registry, and included their home address.

  i once interviewed for a job selling cemetary plots. part of the job was at the funeral of the deceased, we would get a copy of the register book and then visit those as well as visit neighbors of where the person lived and talk to them about plots.

  imagine that, jws are selling a place to live when you die.

  at times i would tell people that i worked with i had to go to a 'get together' or a 'gathering'. they always looked at me weird. i hated saying that term. just like i hated saying 'we dont call it a church, it is a kingdom hall'.

  sorry. i hit the wrong button. did anyone else ever find that when a group of witnesses got together, with or without alcohol? could be a few people or a whole congregation.
