Yes I have heard of Baptists going from house to house,and of corse the Mormons do.But in the Wt they teach it means your life to go.In the book Ray Franz is showing that there were other ways to do the preaching work.The scriptures show that going from house to house can have other meaning that the GB teaches,that is the main way of doing the ministry no matter who you are...

As a JW Did you Feel " Guilted " to go to Meetings /Service if Injured /Sick ?
by flipper inmany people in the jehovah's witnesses , older ones, younger ones have been expected to pioneer, go in field service with physical disabilities and are even considered "martyrs" if they push themselves to their physical capacities beyond reasonableness .
thus many witnesses feel sick, exhausted, tired, and essentially fight depression due to high expectations to " burn out " for the wt society.
have any of you experienced this while in the witnesses ?.

Yes,I have heard some of the talk.There is such a lack of meeting attendance and a falling away that I think they may be doing it just to get every one doing as they are told...they have to do something to get every one excited....I didn't go to the one day assembly,but I heard some talking......

Maybe from my mom.I love my children like that.I have never felt unconditional love.JWs are too judge mental.Even people you are close to is subject to conditions.I agree,W once said it good....

How are you faders doing?
by pat1060 injust wondering how all you slow faders are doing.i know this subject is discussed many times,but personally i wish it was more.we should post every once in a while just to say how we are doing,we need to encourage each other.as for me,it is still going very slow.right now i'm looking into the history that is being covered up.i have learned so much just by reading the older threads.it is very painful for me because this was the truth.and to be finding out so much crap that 99% of jw don't even know,it just is unbelievable.i have cut my field service down,and miss more meetings then i ever did.i'm hoping the sister that is in my face all the time,trying to help me,will forget about me soon......so how are you doing?.
