knocked on a door on a saturday morning.
a window opened on the floor above me.
a grizzled old man stuck his head out and said, " we're all heathens here!
Before my time as a publisher, there happened to be some sort of scary tattooed guy who threatened to shoot and kill every next witness that would visit him. He was on the do-not-call-list with exclamation marks and "extremely dangerous" written in bold letters.
From my own experience...
One householder had the ultimate answer...a pack of three or four barking dogs! My wife ran away and I was slowly walking backwards, trusting the angels and keeping my bag between me and the dogs until I was on the street. Had to walk some distance to my car but luckily the dogs didn't fellow. My wife never forgave me for doing that one more house around the corner in the outside area. Lol
hey guys!
i'm new on this site and am a non jw here married to a jw.
my husband's family are active members and they daily post articles on facebook from jw.org which i know is meant for me to see and read.
Whipped to death???
Holy s%¥t THAT is brutal.
But not very clever to borrow a torture stake from Greek mythology in order to prove a religious point as part of "the truth".

Wow Anders, very good tips...
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHH!
I'm sorry... Welcome Charity.
i went to meeting today and the sister in front of me was upset song 134 now song 139 no longer contains jehovahs name.
they took it out.
i never even noticed .
Blondie> Maybe it is a trend, down slowly enough to catch most jws off guard. It's not the first time the WTS has sanitized itself to be more acceptable to secular authorities.
New name for jws coming up?
Well, now you're saying...I always thought that becoming the "Christian Congregation of Jehovah's witnesses" was such an attempt to become more acceptable.
she could have bought an ice cream cone .

What smiddy said...
Silly me.
i just thought about my old congregation where an elder met worldly married couple in field service some years ago.
the couple knew me for years but we do not know each other very well and they mentioned my name to him and he started to talk bad things about me!
wtf!
Just wondering if you know of any JW that talk bad about Ex-JW in field service?
Too many to mention. That's what happens when you're under Jehovah's dome...
Revelation 22:15 . . .Outside are the dogs. . .
four years ago the watchtower made the following demand.
all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.
they are not content with obedience and in the upcoming june watchtower they have this to say -15. how does respect for theocratic headship reveal our love for jehovah’s way of ruling?15 what is our response to divinely authorized headship?
Good point listener! WT has turned Jesus' easy yoke into some sort of mental instrument of torture.
The bold points darkspliver mentioned...
All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.

The Governing Body is neither inspired nor infallible. Therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction

By our respectful cooperation, we show our support for Jehovah’s sovereignty. Even if we do not fully understand or agree with a decision, we will still want to support theocratic order.

on the door frame, on the door, door knocker, bell.. loud, very loud, regular, soft... gentle... or just pretended and never knocked at all?
we just had a city worker come a knocking on our front door and my responce after she left was, she should go down to the local kingdom haul and give lessons.
her knock was so loud, she could raise the dead.
I live in the same country as Anders, so usually I also rang doorbells, but...
when I had to knock, I was a loud knocker, I had the "truth" and wanted to sound convincing.
I was a very loud knocker when I suspected the householder to have hearing problems lol
i was baptized when i was 14 years old.
i hadn't had any real relationship with a girl up to that point.
but when i started going to high school i learnt the joys of experimenting with girls, so i did not stay a faithful member of the congregation for long.
Welcome to the forum Andamormonjustbelieves. Your introduction (and Mark's final question to you) is rather unique and still sinking in! Are you still young?
