  Avoid or call them back?

  by Angus Beef in

  daughter missed a call from an elder tonight...we've missed meetings for about a month now.

  she is dating a worldly guy and i'm sure someone has seen them together.

  makes us nervous and with us being fairly new to the fading facet... should she call or avoid.

  Hello Angus Beef, It's never easy, but you will get through it. Just keep to your plan. It gets easier as long as you don't engage them. Eventually, they will stop coming. Hugs to you, 4thgen

  JW children taught cold calling techniques

  by Xanthippe in

  i had a double glazing salesman call today.

  he was so irritating because he didn't tell me who he was but instead started asking me questions about my house and some slightly personal questions.

  in the end i found myself saying who are you and what do you want.. then i thought heck this is what i was taught to do.

  Yes, cold calling, sales techniques and public speaking. We were also were taught to clean.

  Ever wonder why JW’s either work for/own a cleaning company or are sales people?

  Who needs a higher education when you can mop floors or sell Avon?

  The only reason you should agree to take them to the meetings is if you plan to return yourself. Otherwise, you are teaching the children of the importance of meetings. Otherwise, you should make your stand clear right now and ...

  Witnesses: Why The 1/19/14 WT Lesson Is Dangerous

  by Apognophos in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  today's watchtower lesson touched on the history of hezekiah's reign, and then made a surprising modern-day application.

  having used my time before the meeting to research the underlying material instead of highlighting my magazine, i personally found this to be an upsetting study, and decided to put this warning here in the hopes that some active witnesses read it.. the most important thing i want to say to you is that the actual flow of events in this bible account were severely misrepresented, and that there are some disturbing implications in the distortions that were made.

  1. hezekiah's father ahaz makes himself a vassal to assyria out of fear of their overwhelming might (2 kings 16:7, 8).. 2. upon becoming king, hezekiah rebels against assyria (2 kings 18:7).

  Ran into JW's manning a table/booth at the beach.

  came across 2 of these 'booths' in 2 days.

  one at the int'l airport we landed at (hubby asked directions from them, they were knowledgable about the airport and very nice) and the other at a pier on the beach...hubby had to race over and say hi to them and i was standing there.

  the 'brother' was an arrogant boob.

  A few years ago, when I learned TTATT, the bound volumes got moved into the garage. My child, (who loves old books), is attending meetings with my ex. As I find contradictory paragraphs and articles, I draw attention to the damming passages with a post-it and highlighter. *IF* my child choses to walk in the way of JW's, my gift for his decision will be all the old 'collectable' literature. :)
