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?

JW children taught cold calling techniques
by Xanthippe ini 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.

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 intoday'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).

by PaintedToeNail incame 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.

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. :)

What ya all think about this?
*** g73 2/8 p. 4 The Wisdom of Admitting a Mistake ***
Of course, admitting we made a mistake is the right, honest and decent thing to do. But it is more than that. It is also the course of wisdom. For one thing, admitting to having made a mistake is a lesson in humility. This, on the one hand, protects us from the snare of pride, which is ever ready to entrap us. And, on the other hand, the humbling experience of admitting we made a mistake may well serve to make us more careful so that we will be less likely to make that same mistake again. Wisely we are warned: "He that is covering over his transgressions will not succeed [with God], but he that is confessing and leaving them will be shown mercy"—by God and by God’s servants. Yes, the very confessing of our errors will aid us to leave them.—Prov. 28:13.
Admitting to making a mistake is the course of wisdom in that it builds in us strength and self-respect. Failure to do so is cowardly, and serves to weaken us morally...Further, admitting a mistake is the course of wisdom because it makes for better relations with others. When we refuse to admit we have made a mistake, we outrage the judgment of others; and they will conclude that we are either too proud, or dishonest, or too stupidto recognize that we made a mistake—all of which may well cause a barrier to come between us and those around us....
