Any Suggestions on what to say if elders ask why you stopped going in FS?

by BU2B in

jw
friends

i was curious what might be some good things to say if i am questioned by the elduurs about my decline in fs.

anything too honest may get me a jc (although that would be for the best in the end..) the co visit is this week so they may be getting more agressive than usual.

Tell them your learning to use the force...its very time consuming...

Or tell them you are worried that time in service will delay completion of the Death Star....and you don't want the emperor displeased with you...

Where were you? / How old were you?... during the Ray Franz witch trial?

i was 13yo and largely clueless to what was going on.

i think i remember hearing something about an apostate being weeded out of bethel but really couldn't have cared less.

i didn't start getting zealous until a couple of years later.. .

Is it common for Jehovah's Witnesses to turn to alcohol when they realize the Watchtower is a scam

by Watchtower-Free in

because they don't know what to do and they want to numb the pain .

especially for bornins..

Now that I thought about it..I used to get buzzed or outright drunk more often before but never admitted it...NOW I get drunk but less frequently but I kid around like I'm a raging alcoholic and drug user because I don't need to cover up and put up a false front..

Did you bring anyone in the "Truth"

my mom has been a jw since 1968...never brought anyone into the "truth.

" what are your experiences?

what was your "closing ratio?

@clarity..just my observation..sorry didn't mean to offend anyone..I just REALLY think that most who have brought others in DO have a certain mental disposition that drives them to want to manipulate others..the few times I actually studied with others I really was nonchalant about it..sort of take it or leave it kind of attitude..trying to bend someone into submission is too stressful for me. If it.really was the truth...it would be enough just to lay it out..I have observed many JWs who sort of "force" or "manipulate" others into baptism too fast...just to score points with onlookers

How do you get through the memorial?

by Gorbatchov in

jw

for family reasons, gorby and his wife and children has to visit the hall at april 14. our family accept that we are faders, but don't accept if we do not visit the memorial.. so, it seems a small investment: one evening love bombing for a year peace and rest.. but i hate the visit.

headache.

meeting the people knowing it's all fake love showing.. how do you get through it?.

I will meditate deeply about lying next to a scantily clad Eva Mendez....there that will do nicely

I have become convinced that in order to bring someone into the truth you have to have a variety of mental disorders that make controlling others thoughts behavior and actions desireable.

I think you must be the manipulative sort that thinks everything you believe is right and you are willing to treat someone as stupid for not following your direction.

Thats why I suck as a JW. Im not that big of an asshole...

May 2014 Watchtower Study Article Are You Moving Ahead With Jehovahs Organization?

by objectivetruth in

if jehovah resurrects the inhabitants of sodom & gomorrah, to give them a fair chance to life.. he truly is love!.

please see the wt and related articles in the resurrection of sodom & gomorrah : 1879 resurrection confirmed : = yes "let me give you an illustration that will be forcible: the sodomites.

surely if we find their restitution mentioned you will be satisfied.

"1 Peter 3:15, We are told in the Bible.

But sanctify the Christ as Lord in your hearts, always ready to make a defense before everyone who demands of you a reason for the hope you have, but doing so with a mild temper and deep respect."

The problem is no JW adheres to this...if questioned or pressed to explain why the ORG has had prior false doctrines or done things that reek of hypocrisy the JW will get angry, defensive, and resort to name calling and a staunch refusal to even hear anything critical of the sacred WT or the ORG.

If questions or accusations are made in front of elders it results in disfellowshipping....

So the GB stance is Don't you dare question us or demand an explanation from US!
