Why Ex-JWs Will Never Go From Door to Door
by comforter injehovah's witnesses proclaim the good news of the kingdom under the power of god's holy spirit.
jesus commanded his followers to preach in the most distant parts of the earth and promised them that the spirit of god would guide them in this life-saving work (acts 1:8).. without the spirit of god, one cannot continue preaching about jesus and god's kingdom (matthew 24:14).
one surely will not have god's spirit if one preaches a negative message (against jehovah's servants) from door to door.

What's the deal with not needing Bethelites?
by blacksheep inas a disclaimer, i am an ex-jw (da'd) for about 15+ years, so i really haven't kept up on what's going on in bethel (come to think of it i wasn't really interested in it when i was a jw!
recently, however, one of my relatives (current jw) commented that, although my nephew had applied to bethel (oh what a privilege!
), he was basically told he wasn't needed at this time because they aren't "mailing out the publications" there like they used to.

Although the physical labor is free they still have to house them and feed them and pittance allowances. Sort of surprised they haven't forured out a way for them to get the slaves to pay their own room and board and still work in Bethel

If you all think that jws are such a bad cult that brainwashes people, why not warn people of the danger?
Yup that is exactly what I did - no service meeting required

If you had God's spirit, you would not be wondering what you are going to tell your neighbors.
Guess that all those service meetings are rather unnecessary then aren't they?

hmmm I have been wondering about the Dateline cards I went door to door with right before the airing and what kind of response some of the householders had. Perhaps I should do some return visits

Support forum for those abused in WTS
by Lady Lee inover the last few weeks a lot of people have come forward and posted stories of abuse while they were jws.
these often were experiences as a child victim or a wife at the hands of an abusive husband.
the forums are open to active jws and those who have left.

JW's not identifying themselves?
by DanielHaase ini had a visit this morning from a couple of older sisters from a local congregation that i'm not terribly familiar with (i don't live in the territory for the congregation that i was raised in).
anyway, i didn't have the balls or energy to question them about the usual things (recent dateline, etc.
) because they were these sweet little old black sisters that really reminded me of the witnesses at the beginning of "friday".

Seems to me they are becoming more and more like the moonies who have fronts to hide who they are really recruiting for. Soon new recruits won't know what they are in until after they are baptized
scary thought for the day

Is It Fair To Discipline Born-Into-It's?
by Englishman ina born-into-it teenager or maybe someone in their early 20's, gets df'd for an unspecified offence.
later the df'd person protests that df'ing is unscriptural and inhumane, only to be told "you knew the score, you knew what would happen, it's your fault".. but is it?
maybe it might be fairer for a converted person to be df'd for breaking the rules, after all, a converted person has joined the jw's willingly and has therefore accepted the witness rules.

Hmm considering the mind control and indocrination did anyone really have a choice? let's face it the borg isn't exactly honest about what people are signing up for. And most would have said NO if they had full disclosure ahead of time
Basically I do agree though

Were you ashamed of being a witness?
by sleepy inwere you ashamed of being a witness?.
how did you feel about identifing yourself as a jehovahs witness to others?.
i often used to hide it because of the stigma attacthed to it.. was anyone actually proud to be one?

oh boy what a question
I struggled with this a lot. I think that depending on how my self esteem was it varied. If I was really low I needed to feel special and well being a borg gave me special status (now that I think of it I must have been really low)
Other times it was an embarrassment. I didn't want anyone to know. I remember going to those doors with scholl kids at the house - absolutely prayed that no one would answer the door and mortified if they did.
As an adult I rarely went into the "world" My life was "in" and therefore didn't have to deal with worldy people often enough for it to come up but when it did I always prefered to evade letting people know - cognitive dissonance at its finest.
After I left I didn't want anyone to know I had been a JW - lots of shame from being DFed and still thinking I would be slaughtered at the end.
Now sometimes i feel embarrassed to tell people I was ever connected to it but that is really rare now - just glad I am free.
