  Why do Jehovah’s Witnesses preach from house to house?

  by mankkeli in

  this explanation is extracted from the reasoning book, page 205. .

  jesus foretold for our day this work: this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.

  he also instructed his followers: go .

  JWs go door to door because they HAVE to, because they are pressured and bullied into going. If they passed a decree tomorrow that it wasn't a requirement for salvation, no one would go out.

  Exactly. I used to be a pioneer and even then I HATED the door to door work and always felt embarassed and uncomfortable doing it. It just never felt right.I hate to impose on people for anything.

  You would think that in 2011 they would use other alternatives like radio, TV, internet (not that joke of a website they have now) to get their fake message out there, but no. That costs money you see, and the top dogs wouldn't be able to enjoy all the luxuries they currently have. Now that I'm out the hellhole and I see JWs going D2D - especially the ones working by themselves who are probably the despondent, mistreated unpopular ones - I feel really bad for them.

  The only good thing about memorials is the fact they were over in an hour.

  Things that made you cringe at "the meetings"

  by i_drank_the_wine in

  i always cringed so hard when a "brother" or "sister" would make some overly heartfelt comment about jehovah-something, usually related to a personal experience of theirs, and get all teared up and/or start crying.. once this fringe dude that's been df'd twice now was giving a talk and kept having these long awkward pauses where he looked like he was real stressed out, then he would start up again, stutter, slip up, and repeat the process until he looked down and went "i, i just can't do this" and walked off the stage and left the hall.. it also made my spchincter pucker when a young person would give some super devotional comment on how much they love big j and whatnot, which would make the congregation all smile in their hearts and wag their heads in approval..

  Jehovah DOES hear and answer our prayers...........

  .........the same way pink spotted unicorns do skip in my garden!.

  now i'm not saying a god does or doesn't exist but the brand name god of the watchtower certainly doesn't exist.

  he is the magic imaginary friend in the sky that jws talk to telepathically.. .

  Not that I don't believe in a creator, because I do, but one of the many reasons I left is because 'Jehovah' damn sure didn't hear or answer any of MY sincere prayers.....

  I think it's disgusting the way the thread starter is gloating over what is an extremely sad tragedy. People like him make ex-JWs look bad. I'm not happy about this incident in the least, whether it gives JWs a bad name or not. Two children are dead and an obviously mentally unstable woman's life is over. It's nothing to be getting all happy about. Seriously, grow up.

  @sizemilk

  Wow . . . strange how different things can be interpreted . . . or filtered. I don't see the majority of comments in either of those categories. All free! did was laugh when accosted in a Gas station . . . I presume as a spontaneous reaction, not as a conscious attempt to humiliate anybody. Where does all this shit come in to it?

  It doesn't come into it all. Sulla is just being overly dramatic.

  Seriously, I think you need to read over my post, because the things you alluded to me I never even said......and playing the gender card is pretty weak IMO because you KNOW the point I was making.

  I don't understand a lot of the dub defenders/apologists on this forum. I seriously wonder why some of you guys even left in the first place. If it's not right to "humiliate" or disrespect a woman it shouldn't happen to a man either, it goes both ways. A lot of those "sisters" in the organisation ARE NOT INNOCENT anyway! Don't believe me? Visit most congregations in North London where I live.

  This experience IS funny, period. There wasn't any name calling or threats. It's not like the TS poured a bucket of paint over the JW and filmed it for youtube. Considering that many innocent JWs have suffered REAL persecution, this is nothing. I'm sure most of us on this forum have seen or experienced worse on the ministry. JWs are told by their leaders in Crooklyn to expect ridicule and rightly or wrongly, that is what they get from time to time. Boo hoo. If dubs don't like it, then don't bother people going about their everyday business, it's as simple as that.
