Tired? When will you stop talking about Jehovah's Witnesses?
by Joker10 inanybody would agree that talking about jehovah's witnesses over and over, and then over some more can get anybody tired and sick.
except, of course, those who are obsessed over them.
don't you think there will be a point when you won't talk or even mumble about jehovah's witnesses?

It's kinda like a legal thing to them.
Actually, it is a legal thing, in every sense of the word. Its what allows them to get away with all their wacky rules and methods of enforcing them. Once you are baptised, you have indicated that you are a member of the religion, and you agree to be bound by its rules and procedures. In fact, its why the two questions that baptismal candidates are asked were changed back in 1985-6 to make this even more evident. Of course, this is never really explained to prospective members.

Witnesses are broke
by metatron ini realize i risk making an over-generalization here, but i notice that many witnesses are just broke or nearly so.. this was reinforced with a recent incident in which i learned that only a few people in the congregation have any.
health insurance - including elders.

Becoming a witness is a process that involves several steps. First, somehow you come in contact with them and display an interest in their religion. After being called on for a while, you will be offered a "Bible study" which consists of going through one or more publications with the witnesses Then you will be encouraged to begin attending meetings. Assuming you have gotten to this stage, the next step will be the field service, although you must receive "approval" to be permitted to do this (if you have a basic understanding of JW beliefs, and if you are not living a lifestyle they disapprove of- i.e. smoking, living with someone, etc, you will be approved).
Its a steady progression, and if any point you balk, they will try very hard to get you to continue. Once you have started attending all the meetings and are participating in field service, the next logical step is baptism. And it will be stressed to you how vital this step is if you are to truly be part of God's organizaition and have the wunnerful hope of living on paradise erf with the rest of the JWs.
As long as you are not baptised, you can make mistakes, and as long as you act repentant and make it clear that you really really want to be a JW someday, you will be "forgiven." Its all about getting you in, and getting baptised is what will seal your fate.

Talesin,
Not to hijack the thread, but what are you referring to when you mentioned 911 status for the KH?
