  A Non J-Dub paying a visit to KingDumb Hall!

  by J-DUBBED in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was thinking of doing a pop-in visit when they're doing their thing(what ever that might be).

  to just see what it is that lures and hooks people, like our son.

  i was worried there is some sort of subliminal messages in audio or video that start to brain-wash a person.

  I'm a non and never have been a jw observer. 😄 No need to tell them any more than you need to but THEY WILL ASK. My recommendation is to say that you are looking for a new "church"* and decided to be open and consider ALL denominations. That's it. End of story.

  i don't know how often you've attended church if at all. In mainstream churches, depending on congregation size, visitors are so commonplace there's no more greeting towards them than the regular adherents. In my experience in KHs, there are NO VISITORS. It's the oddest thing to me. All that walking around passing out literature and nobody is motivated to see what the fuss is about. SO, you will be such an anomaly that people WILL notice your existence.

  When you go, prepare to be insulted and know that you will have to forgive them... Several times.

  *Stay in your own terminology.

  i was a jw kid.

  i remember having to sit still through long, boring meetings.

  i remember being taken to the book room for numerous spankings.

  This was one of the things that struck me when I sat through a few meetings at the Kingdom Hall. I see children, but none speak. They don't even smile. The children look so... I think the word might be ...somber. It seems like women and children do not move except to walk to the bathroom and return.

  To be honest, seeing a child shift in his/her seat would make me see them as "normal." Making an autistic child sit through those meetings is unimaginable.

  Why do self-righteous hypocritical people ...

  why is it that people who display self-righteous hypocritical behaviour are so blind as not to see what kind of people they really are?.

  Just read this today...

  Generally, our judgment of others is an extension of self-judgment; and the self-judgment is so ingrained, so normal, we don’t even recognize it.

  "You have to find out her fears and exploit that. What is her worst fear?"

  Exploit your fears?...Cognac, can you imagine what HIS significant other would be dealing with? ... "Threaten to tell her parents?" Are you guys in your early 20's?

  With friends like that, your husband doesn't need enemies. Going through a divorce ain't easy whether you're the person in the right or wrong. Don't reduce your standards of right and wrong nor bow down to the same level of immaturity.

  "...because this particular faith requires that there must be at least two people to attest to an incident ...there was never an internal investigation."

  Six kids and nobody followed up.

  Hmmm.... i went to a Catholic School and college. They allow people of other beliefs attend and they don't believe they are doomed. We probably had a few Cartholics in there. They were okay people as far as I'm concerned. (Giggling)

  I'm afraid there weren't any quite like Race in any of my circles.
