  I remember an older brother who would have a ton of return visits all over the different territories. The problem was, that 90 percent of these return visits, were just people, mostly other older men, that he would just small talk with. NEVER, anything about the Kingdom, or even the bible for that matter. He would just be talking about the weather, or current events, baseball games, like if the Yankees were doing good this year, or if the Knicks had a team or not, lol. His many return visits were just going around and shooting the s@#t.

  Funny thing is that when he would bring certain brothers to these specific return visits, they would usually just let him do his thing and BS about the weather and sports, but on a few occasions when they would chime in and start talking about the bible, they were actually thrown out and told never to come back, and they were return visits for YEARS, lol.

  Its funny, the more i am thinking about it, the more i am remembering. I remember going to the door and i was working with a very, uptight, conservative older sister. The kind of woman where if you were around her, you had to "fake" being anything other than a phony robot the whole time. Well, we were just about done, and were at like the last door for the day, and the door was answered by some middle aged guy who opened the door ALL the way, wide open, to "reveal" himself standing in NOTHING but his tighty, whitey undies. Not boxers, not a bathing suit, NOPE, those tight white brief underwear. I couldnt help but laugh, and this sister was clearly disturbed by it, but she still went into her BS message, like nothing, lol.

  @ Truthseeker100, - I actually heard of a similar story, at the door to door work on Staten Island NY, many years ago. Except it was an alder German brother, and there was a big, barking, mean dog, "gaurding" the door. The older German brother was like "dont worry, Jehovah will protect us", in his German accent, and he went right up to the dog and whacked it on its nose, with a pair of gloves. The big dog allowed them to ring the bell and got outta there way, lol.

  Actually, i just remember one that happened to me. I was working a block with my ex-wife as my partner, and another couple, doing house over house. The other couple went to a door where an older man told them "not interested". Later on, while we were still on this block, that same older guy was up a ladder on his front lawn, cleaning his gutters. Well, the ladder must have slipped out, and he got tossed, falling down to the ground behind some bushes. We all saw it, and ran over, and helped the old geezer, like "good little christians". We got his wife, who was inside the house, and helped to call 911, and all that good stuff.

  I will never forget, how everybody was saying that Jehovah or the angels, must have made sure we were there, so that we could have helped him, especially since he fell behind bushes, and may not have been found if we didnt see it. But, how STUPID is that line of thinking, because if that was the case, then why wouldnt Jehovah or the angels have just made sure the old guy didnt fall in the first place, lol.

  I got 2 really wierd/funny/strange ones, that happened to my father, not me. These happened back in the 70's before i was born, probably. One, was a woman answered the door, and had a "blank" look on her face the whole time. My father went into his normal presentation, anyway, but then at about halfway thru, the woman while continuing to "stare" and never saying a word, started having some white liquid, like milk, heavily pour out of her mouth. Lol, my father, who was never an uptight, stick up his ass JW, just started laughing, and him and the other bro walked away.

  The other one was that the homeowner was a middle aged man, and he opened the door, and stood there listening to the "message", only to pass out and fall on the floor backwards, like a plunge into a pool. I honestly, dont know what happened after that, i am assuming my father helped the guy, or something, lol, who knows.

  Your assignment , to be an Guardian Angel.

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  your assignment to watch over brother xxx for the next 80 years.

  some guardian angels are assigned to protect and guide a particular person, group, kingdom or country.

  the assignment to watch over one person sounds boring, is it a 24 hour thing.. what happen when his assigned person get into a altercation with another person assigned by another angel, do they make bets who will win.

  ...having same elder with all insincerity approach me at the beeting and before inviting himself over, ask, "how are you doing?

  " then when i say everything is great, go ahead and invite them selves over anyway.

  I remember coming home once, and there were 2 elders sitting in my living. I had NO idea they were going to be there. My a@#hole wife at the time, invited them there without me knowing or discussing it with me(the head of the household, lol). My now ex-wife was such a horrible, judgemental, lieing, evil motived human being, and she is still part of the BORG, till this day. She fits in perfect, actually.

  When this happened we were going thru "marital problems", yeah no kidding, WE WERE 20 YEARS OLD, and had to marry early and take on heavy duty financial burdens, all at a young age cause maybe you might want to have sex, but thats another story. Anyway, she sneakily had these 2 elders come to my home, and when i got home, i was railroaded.

  I think back now, some 20 years later, and think how it would be NOW, if i came home at the age of 40 and saw 2 unanounced men/elders in my house. I would toss them out my front door head first, and they would learn REAL QUICK to never come by me again. Damn bullys, they were so "big" when i was a 20 year old kid, try that now to the man i am now, and see what happens.

  "So that we will not be confused with salesmen, it is best not to mention the donation arrangement unless we are asked..."

  by Island Man in

  "so that we will not be confused with salesmen, it is best not to mention the donation arrangement unless we are asked how our work is financed.".

  this damning quote is found on page 1 of the september 2015 our kingdom ministry, the last sentence in the 3rd bullet point under the sub-heading how to do it.

  this quote amounts to an implicit admission that the jw practice of mentioning the donation arrangement to householders at the door, makes them look like door to door salesmen.. why would "jehovah's organization" be engaging in a practice that is nothing more than a transparent attempt at undercover soliciting?

  I always thought it was so stupid when they would say "If someone asks how the work is financed". Who the f@ck would EVER ask that, after taking the magazines at the door. Oh, what lovely magazines, Oh and btw how is this financed, yeah right!

  Is it really that great being one of the Governing Body Members?

  by John Aquila in

  2. beliefs

  movie stars travel to, or buy their own private beaches, they get invited to fun parties, and are able to buy not one, but several fast sport cars like jay leno.

  they can buy their own planes and helicopters and fly them like harrison ford.

  (how much fun would that be?

  My ex-Grandmother inlaw, was OBSESSED with being up the GB's asses, and since we were in a congregation in the NYC borough, she had "access" to them. Brother Henschel, who at the time i think? was the top GB, was literally invited to my ex-wifes BRIDAL SHOWER, by my ex-grandmother in law. The crazy thing is, he actually WENT, and was the only male at the bridal shower, even i wasnt there and i was the groom, lol. She used to shower him with gifts and cash, and she would call him her "personal angel".

  Henschel NEVER said a word about like "please, i am just a humble servent", NOPE, instead he would eat it up. His grubby hands were out all the time for her cash. He probably looked at it as a type of "business move" to go to my ex-wives shower. Knowing that by continuing to be her "personal angel", she would keep dropping the cash. I heard, cause i wasnt personally there, that at the bridal shower he sat at a table and chair of prominence, like he was a "god".

  It still baffles me till this day, 20 some what years later, that he had the balls to be the only dude at a bridal shower, and was the head of the governing body, and all because my ex-grandmother was financially rich and everyone, including the GB, KNEW it.
