JW's will talk to a DF person if you sign up for their down line in one of their many Pyramid schemes.Back in the 80's I walked away from the borg but that didn't stop a sister from visiting my home (I was single) to sign me up for Pre-Paid Legal and a brother inviting me to a meeting where these brothers came up with the craziest Pyramid scheme. I met the brother one night at my lodge(I was working the bar that night), his kids were friends of my kids,so he ask me to attend. You may think this was strange, a JW drinking in a Masonic lodge but there were several that came in unaware I was a xJW. The brother wasn't a elder but when I attended their meeting(Pyramid scheme) I was surprised to see elders there. The hypocrisy, no problem eating afterward with the brothers. I guess they figured I could get the folks in my down line who are wordily and who will die soon....

Pyramid Schemes
by schnell inseveral years ago, i was introduced to a "wonderful" company called fortune hi tech marketing by a brother and his wife.
they had been introduced by a former sheriff who claims he had researched the company and found no leins or judgments, and that former sheriff had been brought in by a pastor.
you can read what happened with fhtm on wikipedia if you so desire.. this whole new idea of multilevel marketing had my brain reeling, though, and soon enough, i actually signed up with none other than prepaid legal.

Searcher: Question. Do they respect the DNC's? Apparently they do not because there are folks here that have requested to be on the list...So is there a time limit to be on the list??The next time they come to my door I will ask them to put my name on the DNC and I will make sure, I want it done in my present and if you come back I will call the law.You think that will work??LOL Things have changed since 1987, we kept good records in those days.....

Searcher: I don't think they keep records the way the use to. "Be prepared for a follow-up", I may be wrong but in the past 15 years I have told them when they come to my door I was a Elder,served as a missionary,served where the need is great for 9 years, I'am a Apostate and I have several family members who are elders. Just the other day two young sisters knocked on my door. There is one KH in my town so over the years I know I have talked to over half of the members in that congregation, and they still knock on my door.... You would think someone made a notation, this guy is a Apostate he deserve to die don't waste your time. Over the years I have spoken with several elders in the congregation and every two or three months someone new knocking on my door. The two young sister that was at my door the other day while an elderly sister waited at my gate tells me they do not keep records because no way would that elderly sister sent those two teenagers to my door if records were kept.

"To avoid giving the impression that money is very important to us", that's funny. If you look like a duck, walk like a duck and talk like a duck-guess what!! People think JW's are a bit of a quack anyway, so that statement just confirm their quirky ways. JW.org is a religious Scam.....

What Were Your Elders Real World Jobs?
by pale.emperor inwe all know that education is severely demonized in this religion.
and that the elders are appointed based on how many meetings they attend, hours they put in on the ministry and general attitude to other elders (as apposed to, you know, actual theological training and counseling) - so my question is, what were your elders occupations outside the kingdom hall?.
in my old congregation our elders consisted of:.

One christians ask me, how do you know when Adam was created? I told him the Bible, counting back from Jesus. He then told me I have never read that and who knows when God created man. I told him the bible tell you, and the flood 4000-5000 years ago. He told me I have no idea what I'am talking about, and I sound like a crazy man.
