  Something our Circuit Overseer said.

  by PaNiCAtTaCk in

  he said that if we take time to argue or disagree with someone at the door then our guardian angel is already waiting at the next door with out us.

  basically what this does is train us to flee from anything that may conflict with what we are trying to teach or anything that we may believe.

  to stay at the door and .

  our guardian angel is already waiting at the next door with out us.

  Is this new light? When the JWs first studied with me they taught me that people didn't have "guardian angels". Are they starting to adopt some Catholic teachings?

  To stay at the door and try to reason for over a couple of minutes would be something frowned upon by the Angels and Jehovah.

  I take that to mean the "reasoning book" has been ineffective, or he would be encouraging people to use it.

  What does he think? That householders will simply accept what the JWs say without question? How stupid! No one who has a life will alienate their current family and friends without questioning what they're getting in to. So it shows what type of people they're looking for.

  Or maybe they realize there will be no growth from the "field", and they're just trying to keep their current members so busy that they don't have time to research their own doubts.

  when i joined the jw's, i didn't know how to make a tie knot, and still don't.

  i guess that if i tried, i'd look like this below.... .

  I never had a problem tying the knot, but when I was a JW I looked forward to the resurrection so I could put the inventor of the tie in one of these.

  How To Speak English..

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ..like the english.. most brits use slang and colloquialisms as part of their everyday life.

  even jw's use the less offensive terms.

  i was surprised that many americans hadn't heard of the term "loo" before.

  Did you ever see a TRULY happy JW?

  by cyborgVision in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i mean seriously, most of us have been inside for a number of years.

  so during all this time did you ever see happy person or a family or were you ever truly happy there, even for a brief period of time?

  if you were happy, when was it?

  I don't think it's possible for a JW to be truly happy. They are trained by the society to criticize other religions, governments, and people who are not JWs, always finding fault with them. They even find fault with their own members who are considered "weak".

  People who are overly critical of others cannot possibly be very happy.

  Jehovah?s spirit can help us to comprehend even difficult subjects?but only through the WTS which tells you that anyone outside the organization cannot have access to God?s spirit.

  Even within the organization only the Governing Body have access to God's spirit. Everyone else has access only to their publications.

  I learned that "bad associations spoil useful habits". That means I should not associate with an organization that tries to convince me to hate others.

  Brothers In Good Standing

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i heard today that brothers who volunteered at assemblies were only accepted on the proviso that they were "brothers in good standing".

  i also heard that anyone reproved or df'd might have to wait for 3 to 5 years before being allowed to clean the gent's loos as a volunteer.. is that right?

  what other things are held back from folk who aren't quite up to the mark?.
