  Finally received our "shepherding call" today

  by Jourles in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it was inevitable.

  after dodging the bullet for a few weeks, the elders finally made their way to our house today.

  the reason i think this to be so, is because he asked me what he should write down for my report.

  What are the stages of walking away?

  by logansrun in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, it's been a good ten months since i walked away from the jws and it's been quite a journey.

  i notice that the initial fears, self-doubt and rage are no longer with me.

  when i first left i could hardly look at a wt or awake magazine without getting wave after wave of anxiety and frustration.

  by Black Man in

  2. friends

  knockin' on doors when nobody's home, processing ten of thousands of hours that u know are fake, refusing to embrace modern-technology to further the work just adds up to the most ineffective public relations campaign of the 21st century---yep, you guessed it the house-to-house work.........

  i'm sure some of you on this forum have either attempted or perhaps succeeded in contacting other jws or xjws.

  personally, i tried it 3x (times).

  my first attempt was back in 1993.

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  well, after 12 years of inactivity we got our call about three weeks ago on the phone for the borg's reassimulation effort.

  a young elder and good friend of my wife and i called to invite us to the co visit, and by the way "is there anything we can do as do encourage you and moneic to return to the meetings?

  " i said just plain "no".

  The Thread that "kills" the WTS

  by eyeslice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  many opinions have been expressed on this board as to what is killing the society today.

  i am positive that issues such as the un scandal, the pedophile issue, etc.

  are having a negative effect and contributing to a general slackening off and sense of malaise amongst the rank and file.

  The coming "disassociations"

  by Elsewhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have seen several threads about how the elders are going to be going around asking people if they still consider themselves to be jehovah's witnesses.

  this will undoubtedly result in multiple da announcements in the coming months.

  i'm curious how the average jw will perceive this and respond to it.
