  they just left.

  we had a nice "encouraging" chat about my inactivity.

  they went through the usual guilt routine, that didnt seem to work so they turned to fear.

  Websites And Their Operators Who Help J.W.N. Members Real Time.

  by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i get a little testy when "spammer's" or other loathsome individuals use jwn to push their own shoddy websites while offering nothing to members of jehovah-witness.net.

  the member who never has time to post a soothing answer to "urgent question need help" or "my parents just kicked me out", "i am thinking of death" but have plenty of time to "pump and dump" their own website or blogger.

  i thought of some of the very good people here who have websites, but take lots of time to help new or old members with emotional, spiritual or other problems life throw's at them.

  New Member...

  by sosoconfused in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello everyone, just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.. i am a mid 30's just stepped aside elder, who just couldn't handle it anymore.. i am a 3rd generation born-in and former pioneer and bethelite.

  it has been a log somewhat confusing ride for me, but i am finally settling in to realizing that i need to really look at what me and my family are doing.. .

  its funny though what really got me here... it wasn't the 40 year old men telling me they were looking at boobies on the computer and hoping not to get in trouble, it wasn't the watching young people bail left and right, it wasn't the ever changing new light etc... but a simple thought.. .

  (For our non-JW guests) How to get rid of a JW using only two words.

  by cedars in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if creepy contact lenses, facial piercings and people who talk insanely fast (and over-use the word "legit") are not your thing, then don't watch this video!.

  however, if those things don't bother you, and you're curious about the "nuclear" way to eject jehovah's witnesses from one's doorstep, this video explains how this can be done swiftly and effectively.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrvc1yoydby.

  i can actually remember at least a couple of instances where someone revealed they were gay on the doorstep to my partner and i and this didn't get rid of us immediately, but it did force us onto the back foot.

  Talked to Phone Witnessing JWs

  by jamiebowers in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i usually can't hear someone knocking on the door of our enclosed porch, so i haven't spoken to a jw in person in the ten years that we've been at this house.

  and being that the temperatures are currently very cold in northeast ohio, i suppose the jws are doing telephone witnessing.

  so, today i had the opportunity to talk to two real live jws.

  you can do the 30 hour package either 2 or 3 times per year, depending on when the circuit overseer visits.
