Sept. 15th WT - Burdened with Earning a Living? Here! Have MORE Burdens !
by flipper inas if the other sept. 15th wt thread i started weren't controlling enough - in another study article titled " run ..... that you may attain it " were you aware that just eating and wearing clothes on your body - might be a " stumbling block " to you ?
in a prior article on pg.
12 , paragraph 6 the wt society sets up what they are trying to get across by stating, " people of the world tend to seek personal interests first as " men of this system of things, whose share is this life.

ADSO nailed it. And to add to that we musn't forget that because of all the medical and scientific advances, brought about by dedicated, devoted non-witness people, they (the wankers) are able to print their magazines, enjoy painless dentistry, hold conventions in state of the art public buildings where they proceed to condemn the designers and builders and the taxpayers who funded them, to the same fate as Hitler, Stalin, that of eternal destruction. All the while gladly taking advantage of whatever they can get from these non believers.

The same thing happens where I live near the Pacific Ocean when there is an algae bloom in late summer. It looks like someone dumped orange/red paint into the water along the shoreline.
I'd only fear that this meant the end was NIGH if someone had also spotted something credible such as a tortilla chip shaped like Mother Theresa floating on the surface of the blood red lake.

Saw some JWs this am! Couldn't stop laughing
by Free!! inthis morning on my way to the office i decided to stop at the gas station to get some coffee.... as i am pulling into the parking space i see this woman w a haircut from the 80's the typical below the knee skirt and long sleeve shirt (is a 105 degrees over here in the shadow).... i immediatly knew she was a jw... she had the latest wt in her hands..... she skipped me and approached a group of young mexican laborers that were resting in the back of a truck... but... as soon as i walked out of the gas station... guess who was waiting for me???
the jw!!!
she wanted to do a presentation.. i looked at her and w/o saying a word i started laughing so hard the guys in the truck started laughing as well... she just looked at me and still kept trying to push her literatrash!!

My first reaction while reading the story, was pity for the JW woman. I remember how uncomfortable it was to do this kind of witnessing and having to force myself to do it. I know what you mean by being able to spot a JW right away. I think it's because they aren't dressed appropriately for the surroundings they are in. They sort of emulate one another in dress and style and wind up taking on an identifiable look of their own which works ok at the Hall and at assemblies I guess.
We are all at diffrent stages of development and enlightenment so I think I might have just said to her " I used to do what you are doing and I know how difficult it can be and I know your motives are pure, but I had a few really bad experiences over the years with this organization and after a lifetime of service, I found out that much of what I believed wasn't accurate. I couldn't keep recommending this way of life to others anymore. I'm still the same person and have the same values that I've always had. Although I lost all my old Witness friends, I have a greater sense of hope and a better outlook on life these days"
I think by being kind and reasonable, even the most hardcore JW might realize that not everyone who leaves becomes evil or nasty and in fact may have some of the same thoughts and experiences as themselves. I'm guessing that this woman now has even more of the cult like " It's them against us" resolve, and may well view this experience as proof positive that anyone who leaves the organization is in grave danger of becoming the same way.

I put on "the Complete Suit of Armour" after a friendly salesman assured me that it would protect me from the machinations of the Devil. Turns out I was shopping in the wrong store. Eph 6:11

One thing I've found is that born-ins tend to be aless over the top about all the rules and doctirnes compared to a new convert. It was my experience that new converts often became fanatical and did the most damage especially if they wound up in positions of authority quickly. It was the new converts back in the days of the 1975 fiasco that often came into the religion because of that date and then ran with it. They often came in acting as if no one had done anything before they showed up.
On the other hand, they had it easiest, in terms of returning to their former lives once reality set in. Born ins grew up feeling alienated from most of life and even felt superior to the world thinking that they possess the only truth and are the only decent people in existence simply because they learned from their leaders, to compare themselves to the worst examples out there.

In the Witness world a person who grows up in the TRUTH always doing the right thing but in a moment of weakness sleeps with their Fiance and confesses this to the Elders, risks being suddenly cast out and considered too vile and wicked to even speak to. Even when diagnosed with Cancer, the disfellowshipped one is shunned and left without help from his former friends and family. (this happened to my Son) Yet an "interested one " who was or still is, for all anyone knows, involved in God knows what, is welcomed in to everyones lives with open arms, encouraged and included in everything. A former drug dealer turned JW instead of being ashamed of his past, is trotted up onto the stage to relate his story and then applauded while the person who grew up as a Witness and never did anything wrong in his life, is virtually ignored.
