Reading the comments on the YouTube page you can pretty clearly see which commenters are JWs and which aren't. I'm glad to see that almost all of the commenters that aren't JWs still think this guy was inappropriate.

Sometimes You Just Gotta Score One For the Cult Members
by PublishingCult ini really don't care much for jw's at my door, or at anyone's door.
this chauvinistic, fanatical bully-a-hole, however, is one of the worst examples of a christian i have ever seen.
the jw's handled themselves very well in the face of this ridiculous bullying and taunting by this so-called christian attempting to school the jw's about god and the bible.

"It's not the job of a woman to tell a man anything." What a piece of work. Even the JWs have more respect for woman than that guy. I'm surprised the JWs hung around as long as they did. It's fine to have religious discussions or debates but you don't have to be a prick about it. Non-JW Christian fanatics like him scare/annoy/anger me as much as the JWs ever did.
I tried to be very calm and mellow when I was in. But if some guy followed me, kept running his mouth, pointing at me and sticking his finger in my face I very well might have lost my temper.

I remember hearing from the platform that it was ok to go to house that had a "No Soliciting" sign. The reasoning being that we weren't selling anything so we weren't soliciting. We were told that if there was a "No Trespassing" sign clearly visible to ignore the house. It was implied that if the sign was not clearly visible (partially obscured by plants, faded, not visible from the street, etc.) that we should knock on the door. We were also told that unless the householder actually said to not "ever" come back or "never" come back (key being to NEVER come back) that we were not to put them on the do not call list no matter how angry or aggressive they were because they could have a change of heart in the future. If they just said don't come back we were to continue calling on them.
Personally I would skip any house that had a no soliciting or no trespassing sign regardless of whether it was partially obscured. If it was at the front door and I didn't see it until I got up to it I would turn around. If people said to not come back I would put them down as a DNC even if they left out the word ever (or never). I worked with JWs that were very argumentative when the householder was not interested. I saw people stick their foot in the door so they could finish their pitch when the householder tried to cut them off and shut the door. There were a few times I really hoped the householder wasn't going to shoot us. Stopping someone from shutting the door is extremely aggressive. If someone were to do that to me at my house they would either get a) foot slammed in the door and cops called b) punched in the face and cops called c) business end of a pistol and cops called (but only if I really felt in danger).
The WBTS really needs to give firm direction stating to pass over homes that have no soliciting signs. Using a legal loophole that most people are unaware of is sneaky and asking to put JWs in danger. They also need to make it clear that if people say to not come back it's the same as never come back or don't ever come back. Unless you were ever affiliated with the JWs how are you supposed to know that there is a do not call list but you have to be very specific to be put on it? Again, they are just asking for trouble.

Congratulations and good luck. Moving out can be tough but is definitely worth it, especially if your family is in and doesn't respect your decision to get out.

So angry with myself right now....
by Reality79 inearlier today i was at a local tyre shop standing outside getting a couple of my wheels replaced when this 'sister' who i haven't seen for a number of years decided to approach me.
i didn't even recognise her at first because her hairstyle was different and she was wearing these oversized shades, but this is someone who was always funny with me from day one and hardly ever said a word to me even when i used to be in her book study group that was in her home back in the 90s.. anyway, she asked if it was me and then she said who she was in case i didn't remember.
she told me she saw my sister at the memorial last night (my sister who is inactive wasn't even going to attend that particular memorial, but because this f**king elder i used to hate called her out of the blue to "encourage" her to attend, she went along) blah blah blah but didn't get to speak to her for too long.. so she asked me what congregation i go to but then quickly asked if i'm still in the "truth".

It happens. You were caught off-guard. I don't have to worry about that since everyone knows I'm DA'd (thinks I'm DF'd is more likely) and when I see people I know they make the effort to put as much distance between us as possible. Being a fader isn't easy.

Cruel Hearted People
by EXMS ini can't believe how people in the "organization" can be so cold hearted.. .
last october, i got an invitation to a friends wedding where i grew up in portland, oregon.
i now live in san diego, california.

WhatWasIThinking
Someone who I considered a very good friend got DF'd while I was still in. I never shunned her. She asked to borrow money to pay a medical bill (no insurance) and I gave it to her. She paid me back but it took over a year. I didn't care about the money, I cared about her. She was my friend and I never would turn my back on a friend. After I DA'd she immediately shunned me and refuses to have any contact with me. She's a hypocrite and her friendship is conditional as most JWs are.
What your "friend" did was wrong. If it had been me I very well may have knocked him out. With friends like most JWs you don't need enemies.
