  Screaming FOUL!!!!

  2. current

  first my standard "disclaimer" i'm not a jw, never been a jw...just trying to understand my jw mom.

  ok...now i'd like to share with you guys that i've been listening to my mom ranting about the catholics for months now.

  she doesn't miss any opportunity (no matter how small or inappropriate) to "witness" to me.

  Hypocricy of paid holidays...

  by KistByQpid in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  other than my mom, the only other jw i've ever had any real life experience with was a co-worker.

  actually, i was her supervisor and there is one thing that never made sense to me.

  she would aggressively attempted to "witness" to everyone (my supervisor had to eventually tell her to cool it) well, everyone pretty much respected her beliefs and knew better than to invite her to any birthday celebrations, etc.

  Sheep and Goats

  by KistByQpid in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am familiar with the parable, as found in matthew.

  however, i don't understand the jw take on this one.

  jw's like to think of themselves as "sheep" and perhaps someone slamming the door in thier face a "goat.

  Churches...would a JW go

  by KistByQpid in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  under what (if any) circumstances would a jw go to a church?

  is it the building itself or is it church services they have an aversion to?

  can they go under circumstances that are not neccessarily considered "worship"?

  How do you reply to the constant...

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ...negativity?

  you know, your having a pretty good day, you meet up with a jw whose trying to "witness" to you, by the usual opening rant of how horrible the "world" is...etc?

  i resent being treated like i am too stupid to realize this is a way in which to introduce the wt agenda.

  Why do they call themselves Christians?

  by KistByQpid in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am not trying to be sarcastic.

  however, it just doesn't make sense to me.

  if a christian is one who "follows christ" how does that apply to the jw's?

  Knock Knock...

  by KistByQpid in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'd be interested in hearing some of the exjw's door-to-door experiences.

  i've probably had the saturday morning door knocking...maybe 6-8 times.

  i've never been "rude" except for once...when i had a particularly aggressive pair who wouldn't take "no thank you" for an answer.

  Hello...may I post here?

  by KistByQpid in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been lurking here for some time now.

  i'm not a jw, never been a jw, and don't plan on becoming a jw...however my life has been effected by the jw's whether i like it or not (dad's death/mom's conversion).

  seems most here are exjw's or jws...so i'm not too sure if i'm welcome or not?
