  Are JW's only in it for the New System?

  by In_between_days in

  if the new world hope no longer existed, would everyone leave?

  would some stay?

  what do you think the reaction of the dubs would be if the new light was no armaggedon and no "new system"?

  DID YOU ENJOY SHERHERDING CALLS?

  elders are supposed to be loving, caring shepherds.

  when a problem arises, elders are supposed to be there.

  visiting in homes was something the organization always stressed.

  I got one last winter because I stopped going in field service last summer. They came to encourage me, since my wife told them I was starting to have doubts. Little did they know I read both books from R. Franz, J. Penton and C. Jonsonn and W. Schnell. Not to mention I was a regular at this site as well as Freeminds, Xjw, Beacon, Shaun's etc. They were sitting at a table will a certifiable Apostate and they didn't even know it. But I didn't spill any beans, I just gave the usual excuse (working hard, tired, 3 kids, house, cut the grass etc.). I guess I'm not interested at this time to get df''d or to da myself. Now they called yesterday, they want to do another Sheparding call! Geeze won't they leave me alone!

  Cars for Service

  by freedom96 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you remember how many people would buy a car, with service in mind?

  i remember people talking about how not to buy a 2 door, because it is not as good for going out in service.

  people would be looked down upon big time if they bought a sporty or compact car.

  True enough. A few years back I bought a minivan and the only thought in my mind was how good it would be for service. Now I know better!

  Did you get anyone into the Borg?

  by FiveShadows in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am fortunate enough to say "no.

  " i tried very hard to get people to come to meetings and assemblies...and during it all i was bored out of my mind and had a voice in my heart keep saying "what if what you think is the 'truth' is not really the "truth" and you stand before the throne to be judged?

  would these people take your place and die for you because you believed in them and not jah?

  i just saw a dub at lunch time, in manhattan, on a busy street, looking like a human magazine rack.. .

  my question is, did you ever get embarrased standing in such a public place?
