Finally Got to Be the Saturday Morning Householder
by mrquik ini visited relatives out of state this weekend and sure enough watched two witnesses going door to door approach the house.
i casually walked out to the front yard and, sure enough an older brother with a young married man in tow came over to me.
i let them go through the usual speil & took the magazines.

I hate it that I have to lie so much to fade...
by ILoveTTATT ini am feeling down... i feel trapped, and don't know what to do... just need to vent here i guess.... so my mom calls me today, and asks how i am doing.
"how are you doing spiritually?
" i respond... yeah, you know, the usuals... service, meeting, etc.... she tells me that she's doing a lot of service with my dad... i say, "great!"...

@ Hortensia: She will be mad either way... but if I tell her the truth now, it will hit the fan, for sure!! I prefer being free and just quickly lying to her and telling her that I am doing service and going to the meetings, she backs off very quickly after that... than telling her that I am NOT supporting the WT anymore, that I am fading, and having all hell break loose...
I know TTATT, and my dad knows it (but is finding it hard to accept it... we have to literally study it as much as we used to study WT publications)...
My dad has strictly told me to not tell anyone about TTATT, and definitely not my mom. He vouches for me moving to a different city and fading on my own terms there. He has said, "you can move, I can't..." when I suggest he start fading... see, technically, I have nothing to lose, but it's my dad who has a 30-year marriage on the line. It reallly is ...
@adamah:
He probably feels guilty at lying to my mom too (lying by not telling her what he knows that I know)... but my dad is amazing at bottling things up, and not worrying about things. I can't... I have a HUGE problem keeping my feelings in check (something I got from my mom), but now I am getting more adept at lying (which, I really had not ever done before I learnt TTATT, it's so ironic)...

She tells me that she's doing a lot of service with my dad... I say, "great!"... I hate having to pretend so many things... Just like 8 months ago, I would have told her everything... I used to tell her everything about my life, now I don't, I feel so bad because I have to pretend I am a good JW... my dad knows the real story, and can see (they put me on speakerphone when they call) that I have to lie, meanwhile I am telling him TTATT secretly, on the side.
My dad's the only one that I tell the truth about my life to... he seems to be fully awake now, and I would love it if I could do something to start the process with my mom... I just don't know what to do!!
anyways... thanks for being here, being my support!!

One guy posted and he could be the next Freddie Franz in making up prophecies... somehow he made up some math, text, more math to "prove" 2014 is a special date and posted it... DELETE!!
Wow... this religion certainly creates people who become obsessed with the end, who, even if the WT died tomorrow, they would make stuff up themselves and continue punching the air...

@Fernando...
Interestingly, the herd mentality really showed... I had for the first time since I started the page negative likes that day...
My post created huge controversy since I just stated that one of the songs used in the Photodrama of Creation was "Nearer to Thee", which was apparently the last song played before the Titanic sank... This "Ms. Lies" comes in and asks, "What are you talking about? The Society only uses music made at Bethel"... then she posted "This page is from apostates!" and then the "Lies" comment.-.-
@losingit: I have sent you a PM.
Thanks!

How many would still be in if.....
by Flg8ter ini always wondered.......how many would still be in if there was no fear of being shunned?
i really believe the very few of active witnesses believe that the big "a" is right around the corner.
but, the fear of losing family and friends.......very powerful to keep people in line.

No shunning? I would be out of the JW's... not true and not in line with the Bible...
I am happy that info on this website has helped me open my dad's eyes... and hopefully, I can open my mom's eyes one day.

I remembered most if not all of the negative comments I was exposed to whilst on the preaching work. I am sure your conversation will stick.
I agree whole-heartedly with this comment!! It WILL stick!! I remember lots of things that I discovered because of people I preached to!

So... I have a page on Facebook... It's a page that just presents a little bit of Watchtower publication quotes and then translates them to Spanish. It is having a good effect on JW's... at least, I am planting seeds...
Here are some insights on my page:
1. A lot of JW's in my page have less than 10 years being JW's. Very few know anything about "the generation" and other things... When I commented about how we used to celebrate Christmas, one girl posted on my page, "this page is from apostates"!! Which I promptly deleted... she later posted "This page has LIES!! Jehovah's Witnesses have NEVER celebrated Christmas..." To which I replied that they had, and if she wanted proof of that just see the Proclaimers book and I quoted a Watchtower.
Conclusion: Most JW's don't know squat about their own doctrines and history. To help them, they must be at least educated on their past. I have to consistently tell people to read the Proclaimers book (With enough posts, people will see the WT BS).
2. I get "Facebook Insights" and I noticed that, overall, on Facebook, men account for 54% of people on Facebook, and women, 46%. My followers are 67% women, 33% men. This means that there are 2 women for every man among Jehovah's Witnesses. I concede that my statistics pool is only 300 people, but even when we get the people who I reached, which is over 3700, we get 60% women, 40% men.
Conclusion: (An already known fact, women make up the mayority of JW's)
3. People who like, comment, share, etc... are older. The people I reach are younger (average is around 24), but the people that react in some way to my posts are older (average is around 30).
4. I have a lot of "serial likers" (people who just like absolutely everything)... which is exactly why the JW's keep so many people: Critical thinking is at a critically low level of zero. A few have commented, and you can tell their uneasiness (some are shocked that even in the late 1920's the chronology was 1874....)Anyways, the page is growing in followers, I have 300 already, and I hope to increase it to 1000. It is an effective way of spreading JW old light, this will hopefully trigger cognitive dissonance in some, and move them to investigate. I will definitely post as many embarassing quotes as I can, mixed with "nice" quotes...
