JWs pretended to be someone else at my door.

2. scandals
this is probably in the wrong section, but i couldn't decide where to put it.

i was raised a jw and i still suffer effects from that kind of upbringing.. anyway, they said they were local community volunteers and they wanted to give me something related to the community.

i didn't open the door but they put a jw tract through it.. i don't think it's right to be so devious about recruitment.

Randall Watters: My Return to Christianity: The Early Years (part 3)
by Dogpatch in

okay gang, warning!.

this is going to sound real new-christian preachy to some of you, but hey, this was 1982ish, so don't come down too hard on me.

i just tend to put all i got into my work, but i've mellowed out (called "getting older").. i am not a fan of churches or institutions personally; more of a loner.

Witness movie "Heritage"
by exwhyzee in
1. jw
2. friends
does anyone remember seeing the witness movie called "heritage" ?

it was made in the early 60's and they used to show it once a year at the kh when i was a kid.

(with guilty minds, we were secretly glad to see the projector set up in the middle section of the hall because it meant we didn't have to sit through another long boring talk.. even as a little kid i could see the one sided propaganda basicaly showing how empty "worldly" peoples lives were compared to ours and if you were a witness your family life would be idyllic like on "leave it to beaver".

generation teaching reconsidered
by inbetween in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
was thinking about this new generation teaching, and to some extend it makes sense, let me explain.. first of all, i personally believe, it only applied to jesus time, it only made sense there, and when jesus talked about it, in the year 33, this generation certainly observed the events leading to jerusalems destruction 70 ce.

( even though the context does not really give much hint, since he talks about the sign of the son of man being seen in heaven etc, something that did not happen in the first century).

the main question is, what is a generation ?.

Who calls the shots in the Watchtower?
by dgp in
1. jw
2. experiences
let's talk about power in the wt.

we know that the watchtower started as an all-american thing (or nearly all-american thing) but it isn't that anymore.

now the non-american brothers and sisters are the majority, and, unless i'm wrong, much of the growth is taking place in countries like mexico, brazil and others.
