my mom has been a jw since 1968...never brought anyone into the "truth.
" what are your experiences?
what was your "closing ratio?
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...
so who's from wisconsin and the midwest usa.
Is this planned with the international convention in mind?

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!
imagine driving along the road and on the side you see a sign that said road closed ahead..... just as you finish reading the sign wham!!.
....you crash into a barrier and total your car....this wouldn't be much of a warning ...hardly fair would it?.
thankfully jehovah's wonderful organization has been sounding a warning for over a hundred years helping people to establish everlasting relationship with all mighty god jehovah!.
I thought of the same thing....I should copyright the illustration and sue if I hear them use it...dose of their own poisonous meds

this warning work has been giving people ample time ample warning to see the danger ahead...
my god I'm good and so full of s***
as the title says, share what you love about the truth!.
we know that the gb or anything else in the truth is all true and nothing is false!.
love u guys xxx.
If the end came next year I would congratulate god after destroying the WT and its JW followers for finally ridding the earth of false prophets, false teachers, and those like you that set themselves up as judges who have concluded that all those not like you deserve death
I would give him a nice high five
i have recently been given the privilege of taking the field service group.. .
can anyone give me some scriptures i can use to encourage the group?
can you also give a reason as to why these scriptures are helpful to our ministry.. .
Hey fl_panthers...I used to recently be in your shoes..thinking it a privilege to lead a service group...was encouraging to all there and hyped up enthusiasm for the ministry...but in the end...I discovered and verified some very disturbing things about the WT organization that brought my recruiting efforts to a screeching halt...
If you read other posts you will see recommendations of various books that will shed unflattering and very truthful light on an organization that claims to be gods sole channel of communication to mankind but has nothing to back it up. More wrong than right doctrine has been spewed and recent doctrine changes happen more and more frequently with blinding speed...but none of the criticizm will make sense unless you first hear it in full then go verify it with WT history...I was all in and still would be if the WT could back up their claims to be "the truth" and willing to be scrutinized without DFing someone for disbeleiving one doctrine or several or all of them....that indicates fear of scrutiny and truth shouldnever fear scrutiny
i've been thinking for a while about the topic mentioned in the title and came to the conclusion that the flood story from the bible provides a very good starting point for proving the bible wrong.. in the following paragraphs i'll be only presenting ideas and potentially logic errors, and possible answer.
i didn't do any serious research yet, for in order to answer various questions a good base in specific branch of science is required.. according to the bible (the internet) the volume of the ark was 137.16 m * 22.86 m * 13.716 m = 43006 cubic meters (roughly).
if we was to subtract the volume of the interior structure (elements like walls, stairs, etc.
If the ark was floating in water as deep as highest point on earth it would have been like 35,000 feet up from land.
If we suddenly could be elevated to that height the first breath we took would instantly freeze our lungs and you would be dead within a few minutes. Air temp at that height is in the -55 to -60 degree range.
My figures are estimated but even anywhere close to that height and your quite dead quite quickly
i fumed when i read this.
enjoy picking it apart friends.... become imitators of god.eph.
one way to imitate jehovah is to adopt his viewpoint regarding matters.
Thats why I no longer read printed material by WTBTS and why I don't visit JW.ORG
