I abhor unsolicited phone calls and think they should all be illegal and perpetrators hit with big fines. It is in very poor taste and disturbing that an individual would think it appropriate to endeavor to contact strangers this way only to storm them with his or her personal religious opinions. If they are met with rude or angry responses it is their own fault for being so disrespectful.

5I was privy to an irate phone witnessing conversation
by joe134cd ini happened to be privy to a phone witnessing conversation that my aged father was conducting, the person on the other end just climbed into him.
he got real nasty and my father ended up hanging up on him.
i could see that my father was distressed about it, but or course put it down to satan and persecution.

Yup...I relate totally. To this day I find it an embarrassment that the family from which I sprung was involved in this messy cult...and that I was suckered in for so long. I have no interest whatsoever to have contact with any of the believers....and actually none ever reached out to me personally during my fade process and immediately after we did have some self-glorious elders knocking on the door but I did not answer.

274 pages of pharisaical rules, regulations and procedures. No resemblance to Jesus teachings of love, compassion and fair-mindedness.

Calm down...play games...study something new and different and think positive happy thoughts. The religion is based on negativity, fear and manipulation. It has to be difficult when that is all you are surrounded by...but if you immerse your brain in other things you can keep your sanity!! Good luck!!

How to CYA (cover your ass) Watchtower style
by eyeuse2badub intoday’s watchtower article was the ultimate cya.
for friggin’ decades all we heard was that as armageddon gets nearer and nearer, the number of the ‘great crowd’ will increase and the number of the “little flock” will decrease!
in fact, it was one of the proofs that the end was near!.

Remember the Revelation book?
by wozza ini recall when it was released ,that's when i was a drone, how excited i felt at the prospect of reading it and formulating ways to sell it at the homes in my area.. i thought, finally a book to explain the last book in the bible and indeed one that the churches seemed to want to leave alone!.
i sold quite a few probably because of my enthusiasm and can still remember clearly the first day when i went knocking on doors with it ,and it's been decades since.. but over time it lost it's shine and my mind started to question the explanations in it due to the scene of other things being changed in the jw beliefs.. do you remember they flogged that book so many times in the book studies even when it was found to have "newer light " eclipsing it!.
who else remembers the printed pages with the official corrections to insert into the book ,so many that the book collapsed to be of no relevance anymore really.....what an embarrassment!.

The Babylon book....I actually liked that one....it had some history that made it more than the usual pablum....then is finished the mystery of God one not so hot but okay...anyone remember that lime green Daniel book? But...that revelation book and its applications were pretty hard to digest. The conventions mentioned earlier....the one that got me was those dead bones fleshing up and coming to live...the imprisoned holy ones in WWI....get released and go apreachin......and yes.....repeat book study of it as nauseum...
I remember that creation book too.... Systematically skipping that book study because I couldn't stand that book.
