Today's JWs no longer need to know bible verses or be able to answer questions. They can sit at a table or stand next to a cart with publications and don't have to talk to anyone unless someone speaks to the JW first. Basically today's JWs just direct the public to their website. Can't get much easier than that!

Quality of newer membership
by Lostandfound inon a previous post mamacita29 pointed up the low quality of new jw converts.. is the quality falling even more as the society use lower than low meeting, talks, broadcasts etc.. when i was active initially the organisation and standards seemed totally different today.
i have seen hard working intelligent elders fall by death or exhaustion.
the younger generation that came along never really grasped responsibility hence shortage of good elders, never mind the watered down to almost nothing quality of meetings.

I never detested JWs. I've disliked many of them because of their rigidity and know-it-all smarminess.
The truth is, over the years, I became a bit rigid and cocksure too.

Your letter may open another can of worms.
Why add more stress to a stressful situation?
I agree with Simon.

Honestly, Did Jehovah's Witnesses Do Anything POSITIVE For You?
by minimus ini was raised as a witness and am very thankful that i am out.
having said that, i think my upbringing produced positive qualities in me.
do you believe that anything positive came from your being a witness?

Taught me to be patient.
I was patient with liars, hypocrites, false dates, imperfection, etc.☑

Posting Chapter 1 of My New Book "The Perisistent Illusion"
by new boy inalbert einstein said "reality is an illusion albeit a very persistent one.
maybe the secrets of life and death are way more simple than we could ever have dreamt of.
maybe, just maybe one of the wisest men to live our times told us the secret in just one sentence.

I think that is unproductive for waking up JWs but is probably cathartic for Derek. -

The door was locked but there is a doorbell and a camera.
People could come late and still get in.

JAMES WOODS is in the hospital (heart related)
by Terry injames woods has been a long time regular on this discussion group in all of its incarnations.. he had some kind of "heart-attack" and has been in dallas' emergency ward for several days.
he also has a blood clot doctors are working to break up.. 972-261-4412 is his cell number.. he was in a talking mood yesterday afternoon.. i bet it wouldn't kill him to get some well-wishes.. james goes back a long way as an ex-jw.
he knows where the bodies are buried :).
