You and I have been on the same page on this subject, and how we should use discernment when talking to Witnesses and newbies here.
----------
you know i firmly believe that many of us will come to realize what the wt has realized that you catch more flies with honey and vinergar-
to come off Blasting a newbie out of the water in my view is so cold-bloodied -- i mean the poor guy already thinks that demons are going to jump out of him monitor just for being on the site and then her comes some xjw with both guns blazing -
i think more former jw need to do just like we did in wt = prepare before opening our mouth- while the wt trains is members on how to handle things at the door and how to do it tactfully-
while thier reason for being kind and asking questions was phoney it at least held the persons atttention so that thier message could be gotten across
same here if you commend the dude for just merely being here is a great start- then ask why did you find a need to peek in here on this site- or you too wondering about alot of things in the org like most of us, etc
i guess my point is simple we must do a better job here on these forum
i don't worry much about the likes of YK, and any one for that fact that tells me that they have served in no position in the org and then claims they are of the annointed, the reason is simple
any jw who comes up on this site or any other site and claims to be of the annionted and proceeds to deafend the wt tooth and nail- i know what type of JW they are--- they are the type where when they raise thier hands the little kids start to laugh because they are viewed as a JOKE IN THIER HALL-
so for those clowns i don;t worry about them - in fact the net gives them a forum that they are not afforded at thier hall- so they love to come here
my concern is for the Lurkers those who come here daily and read and never post ,yet they read and read- they are the ones i care about in that i don';t want thier spark of curoisty to be put out- but instead they can continue on to read and read till they fully understand why they are made to feel WORTHLESS AND GUILTY ALL THE TIME
i guess we all need to better present the facts along with the sound reasoning if we want to help others
just my 2

Here's some interesting stuff that surprised me so far:
[*] Judge Rutherford, the second President of the WTS didn't go door-to-door. He felt his work was more important. A great example as do as I say, not as I do.

[*] The institution of service quotas were published as if they were spoken by God:
..."The Lord breaks down our organization instructions further and makes them more practical by further instructing us through his 'faithful and wise servant'. ... He says the requirements for special pioneers shall be 175 hours and 50 back-calls per month, which should develop into a resonable number of studies; and for regular pioneers 150 hours and as many back-calls and studies as an be properly developed during that time. ..." —In Search of Christian Freedom p. 90

i TOO agree this was one of the Deepest points in the book to me as well and i like the way it is phrase:
"The institution of service quotas were published as if they were spoken by God"
you got to love it when you can sign God's name to the Check-
the problem is the ck is always bouncing
