I tried reading this out loud as if I was saying a presentation and I could see in my mind's eye the faces the householders were giving me. Too funny.

The perfect door presentation of "The Truth"
by WingCommander ini don't know if i, or smoeone else, shared this before but i thought it funny and odd enough to share again.
imagine if you will, if we actually presented what we all know to be true about the beliefs of the jw's at the door when we were witnesses.
after all, jesus message was to be simple; simple enough that even the poorest and most uneducated would be able to accept him and convert to christianity, no matter the flavor of kool-aid we were pushing.

My Dad died
by aquagirl inmy dad,an elder for 25plus years,concentration camp survivor,the works,died in a few weeks ago.i am df'd but have been the only one who helps him and my mum.my jw sister couldnt give a rats ass about them.i was at my mom and dads house after he died,helping my mom with everyting,hell,id been there for 2 months because i was afraid to leave them alone.i knew my dad wasnt feeling well.guess he was worse than i realized.he died.the witnesses came in droves.small kitchen.im sitting at the table.they not only didnt speak to me,but they didnt even acknowledge that i was in the room,about day 3,i stopped answering the door..one "lady" called.sister carol.when i answered the phone she hesitated and said",now you know,i caint tawk to yew"{strong southern accent.ala elie may clampett}"you orta let cher mawma ainser the phone.
"i told her to bite me and hung up on her...same here,when we got back home.i hate these people with the fury of a thousand suns,but for some reason,i am now in possession of some great elders notes.been laying low,but im going to start posting the juicy stuff.just cause itd be nice for calvin to know that he was seen "dancing recklessly" at a wedding and that sister renee was being councied for her weight and still insisted on gaining more.also that sister e wasnt giving her husband his "due"..{yik}and that certain concetration camp survivors were being coerced into saying that they were jw's at the time of incarceration.but one wouldnt.my dad refused to play their game,and as a result he was asked to step down as an elder at age of 80.that and that he refused to shun me.his notes have been very enlightening..nice folks thise jw's,no?
they were so mean to my dad, he really believed this crap,and tried to do the right thing.but because he wouldnt dance their way,and turn me,his favorite person{and he was mine|into the cold they treated him badly and mocked him and even his accent.i hate them.really.any ideas?the local elder here,just asked my mom about her financial situation...grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

you should not have to choose between your religion and family ! (awake mag quote)
by looloo inlast summer there was a big upset caused by an article (july ,ithink) in the awake about a hindu lady that upset her family by leaving her religion and joining jehovahs witnesses and the ironic thing was it had the above quote in it , that someone should not have to choose between family and religion !
i printed the article off and underlined that section , and recently sent it to my inlaws along with a letter , because they are upset about not seeing their grandchild because they banned their son from the house (he sdisfellowshipped) i am trying to sort the situation out , and i thought they might notice the hypocrisy in the article , however that idea did not work as apparently" there are lies on the internet !
" and father in law was not very happy to receive it , but it is from an awake magazine ,watchtower literature !

I kept the magazine. I plan on using it on my mom if needed. But I'll probably get the same response Aeiouy got.

Jadeen, "Don't forget that the reason you haven't been to meetings is because you've been depressed"
Got it!

I feel a little better now.
Okay, so, knowing my mom, she probably didn't explain my question to him correctly. He's probably preparing to come over here just to explain the whole seven times deal. I'm thinking of just calling him to tell him what the real question is. Simply that I want to know what source the society uses to support 607 and leave it at that and tell him when he finds it to let me know. That way he doesn't have to come over here at all. I know that if he does he'll start asking me other questions that I don't want to answer.
FreudianSlip, "Then drop it and enjoy the visit as uncle and niece." I don't see that happening. We're not that close. He's coming over to re-indoctrinate me and that's it. And since I'm sure my mom told him I haven't been to the meetings in 5 months, he'll probably be suspicious that something else is going on. I wouldn't be surprised if he asked me if I've been reading apostate material.

Thanks for everyone's responses. I'm reading them but too weak to answer everyone. I have a middle ear infection.
