Is their a slackening off / lack of zeal in the witnessing work that I am observing or is it just the area I`m living in
by smiddy inlast saturday i was home with my wife,having a leisurely brekky pottering around in the kitchen ,then i noticed her standing still pondering ,what`s up i asked , wife :i thought i heard someone knocking ,i looked out the window to see two middle aged guys exciting my front drive.why didn`t you tell me they were their,i didn`t hear them.
i would have engaged them in conversation , but my wife doesn`t think i ought to,just let it go ,is her motto.. but my point is : i`m not deaf , and i didn`t hear them at the door , we were both in the front room ,my wife only thought she heard someone at the door only to be proved right observing them leaving i was in my pj`s and dressing gown so was not going to pursue them.
we have been living here nearly 5 years now and i can honestly say they have never been on our doorstep more than 4 times if that , i personally have only encountered them 3 times at the most.

You couldn't hand out invitations to a wedding or a shower at any meetings
A man and woman weren't allowed to drive to meeting or service together alone (they might start screwing)
You couldn't work out at the YMCA.....(but as I argued, you could go to a hospital.....all of which were associated with churches)
A servant would be removed for watching a rated R movie
No denim skirts or dresses allowed
One 'brother' was removed from the baptismal pool because the CO thought he was too fat. The irony? The 'brother' giving the talk was even fatter.
Elders could golf with worldly customers/employees....but their kids couldn't play school sports
But I have to say, they all pail in comparison to my current favorite:
Sparlock and playing with magic toys means you cannot be God's friend......however, you can spend a family vacation at the Magic Kingdom known as Disneyland.
Its all so surreal...........

How have you fared since leaving the Jehovah's Witnesses?
by God_Delusion inhowdy guys and gals!.
personally, my life has been fantastic.
it's like a massive weight has been lifted off of me, especially when it comes to having to go to the meetings.

Its fantastic. I fight the bitterness of wasted years as an elder.....years I should have been enjoying life; but trying to focus on new things and enjoying each day.
No drama....no meetings.....no lies.

How is it possible to go ...and not know about Sparlock?
by carla inhow is it possible for a jw to go to the dc and not know about sparlock?.

You think that is funny.....try asking them what a scripture says.....or even better, throw out a few dates...like 607 and ask them to explain it.
98% of JWs know absolutely NOTHING about their own religion.

Does it matter if they're happy?
by Zico inthis is something i am conflicted about.. since leaving the jw religion, i have generally thought there are many jws i should leave alone.
if they are happy in the religion, i reasoned, why try to force a change in their beliefs, particularly among those older jws who have spent so long serving the wts?
certainly, i'd be willing to help any jw who clearly didn't seem to fit the religion, or couldn't live up to its rules, but there are some jws who i think would be happier in than they would be without it.. otoh, i have been thinking recently, that these jws by their presence in the religion, are providing the power to the society that allows them to damage/ruin so many other jws lives, so perhaps it doesn't matter what one jws personal situation is, perhaps i should be trying to 'free' everyone i can in an attempt to contribute to the society's eventual downfall.. what are your opinions on this?.

What undercover said nails it.
If they leave me alone; I leave them alone.........if they bother me, I'll stick my foot so far up their arse, they'll need a crane to pull it out

If you're here to avoid controversy......how did the JWs take the news that if they go to Disneyland, they can no longer be Jehovah's friend?
Thanks!

Have they stopped doing what they are doing?
Have they shown remorse?

LOL LOL Mr. Facts doesn't seen the irony in a 'peace loving' JW coming to an 'apostate' board and insulting people. I guess he doesn't realize he is living proof of what most JW's are......
Thank you Mr. Facts...I got a very healthy laugh after reading your post.
I'd like to thank you for how you "continue loving your enemies and doing good" -- Luke 6;35
Run along now....the 'faithful and discreet slave' just announced the sky is orange.... you need to share this new light in your territory!!!

I handled a case like this.
Imagine how upset my fellow 'elders' were when I told them if people wanted to mess around, they'd do it with you IN the car.......how did I know? Because several people I know were down each other's pants/skirts...WHILE IN SERVICE.....with a book or coat conveniently laying across their laps.
They don't get it. They never will.

As I read this thread.....I'm just sick at some of these stories. You can multiply them by 1,000.....
What has to be said here is that a lot of people who are JWs are really not very good people. Some of them are terrible.
To go knock on doors while your 'brother' is in the hospital, then slander him by saying he had a transfusion? Lets just cut to the chase: awful people. (Galatians 6:10)
Some of them are exactly where they should be.
