simplesally asks: "Did I read that wrong?? It seems Paul and Heinz were kicked off for BEING Jehovah's Witnesses. The other club members seem to believe in the Deity of the Lord (Jesus is God)." That's how I read it, too, simplesally.

What's happened to the preaching work?
by Dark Knight insomething happened the other night that got me thinking.
i met a christian in one of the local malls and he did the usual preaching about jesus routine, trying to convince me that i am a sinner and how i need jesus and all that jazz.
he wasn't a jw, but rather he was from one of the local revivalist churches.. now what i'm thinking is that i've been out of the org for almost three years now.

But it sounds to me as if the books and mags AREN'T getting distributed, but rather left in stacks in laundramats and doctors offices and dumpsters. I'm wondering if the r & f are willing to part with enough money to satisfy the WTS if they don't believe they're getting anything in return (i.e., a spot reserved on paradise earth for themselves and those they love).

But the issue isn't so much whether or not JWs are effective--but whether or not JWs think that going door to door is going to save them a space on paradise earth. Is it only me that thinks it might be fairly significant if the rank and file have lost that belief?

I have understood what many have said hear to mean that JWs believe that without going door to door as much as possible (as well as go to all the meetings) they will die at Armageddon. Do you think all the time at donut shops and McDonalds suggest that the rank and file suspect this is not true?

Christopher Hitchens wrote an "expose" shortly before she died pointing out that she took money from dictators and those who have caused/enforced poverty (I believe Idi Amin was one he mentioned) and that she seemed to love poverty more than the poor. I would need to be very deluded before I accepted Christopher Hitchens as a moral compass--which is not to say he didn't have some valid points. But the people I know who worked with Mother Theresa did not feel morally compromised to have worked with her!

Seriously, do you think that active witnesses have given up on the "preaching work"? Do you think they believe that Jehovah doesn't care?

Mother Teresa's beatification- JWs and Good works
by pravda2004 inafter hearing of mother theresa's beatification today, which is a recognition of her tireless lifelong devotion to ministering to the suffering of others, i was wondering why the jws have no works of charity as a witness to christ's love for mankind.
is jw doctrine confined to the idea that all "good" public works should be in witnessing and proselytism alone?
with the amount of money the watchtower has, why is there no public witness of charity?

I know I shouldn't hope for sense from WTS, but what the heck is the purpose of all the prosyletizing if not to "direct his step?"

How Does A Jehovah's Witness THINK???
by minimus inwitnesses have been trained to think a certain way.
"conversation stoppers" was invented so that a witness could change the way an argument was heading.
when you are able to "pick the brain" of a jehovah's witness, you may tend to get easily irritated or astonished as to how they reason things out in their mind......so......how would you describe the brain of a typical jehovah's witness??
