  Were You Ever Comfortable Going From House To House?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  because i was raised a witness, i don't think i was "uncomfortable" knocking on strangers' doors.

  (weirdo).. but as i got older, i simply didn't want to bother anyone so i was at there door for no more than 30 seconds.

  at the end i hated being there..

  Born in. Never liked it.
  
  I allowed them to fool me in thinking that if I kept praying and went more often it would somehow be easier. Only gets worst.
  I aux. pioneered quite a lot. I had not the energy to do more than 60hours.
  
  But I remeber starting highschool I dreaded schoolmates being behind everydoor. I'd often fake ringing. Or open my presentations by "Hello, we are your local Jehovah's Witnesses" managed to cut short most conversations. Another trick was to offer a bible study right away. I was lucky enough it never worked.
  
  I never understood that god for asking his supporters to perform such an outdated and unefficient door to door work of gathering.

  Woah. So according to him, EVERYTHING a baptized witness owns belongs to Jehovah. That's a mean spirited god you got there. Won't let you have anything for yourself.
  All your moneys are belong to us

  Is Wikipedia turning pro-Watchtower?

  by cedars in

  i was doing some research and stumbled upon the following two wikipedia articles, both of which (at first glance) appear to be mostly pro-watchtower.. take a look for yourself.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/persecution_of_jehovah%27s_witnesses.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/jehovah%27s_witnesses%27_handling_of_child_sex_abuse.

  the persecution article seemingly attempts to portray jws as unfairly persecuted.

  Code Words for Fade Mode?

  by SophieG in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there has got to be some kind of code word system to find out if someone you know is in "fade mode"!

  lol!!!

  what do you do when you suspect a jw is on the way out?...you may notice that they don't talk about meetings or service on social media...they don't even list jw as their religion.

  Would not be surprised if apologists or even the Bethel Hacker Departement keep a close eye on what is submitted and appears on the page...
  At least this is up:

  so here's the latest in my pathetic saga.

  i've tried to fly under the radar for the past year, but it isn't working so well.

  i've learned not to engage my wife in debates but rather to ask questions.

  " What 5 year old wants to listen to kingdom melodies? "

  Expose your child to classical music. Most of the WT melodies are poor ripoffs of great clasical composers. Dvorak's 9th -New World (linked below) must contain at least 3 Kingdom songs. They borrowed from Rachmaninov and Bruckner too. Your kid should detect quality music right away.
  
  One of my all times fave. Still sends shivers up my spine... in a good way.
