This article was sent to me. I could not help but think about the witnesses while reading it.
Number 1 – They Think, Say, & Do Negative Things.
Yup. They see problems in every opportunity. They complain that the sun is too hot. They cursed the rain for ruining their plans for the day. They blame the wind for ruining their hair. They think that everyone is against them. They see the problems but never the solutions. Every little bit of difficulty is exaggerated to the point of tragedy. They regard failures as catastrophes. They become discouraged easily instead of learning from their mistakes. They never seem to move forward because they’re always afraid to come out of their comfort zones.
1), Witnesses are ALWAYS looking at how bad the world is. If you look at something outside of the org. as good there is something wrong with you spiritually.
Number 2 – They Act Before They Think.
They move based on instinct or impulse. If they see something they like, they buy at once without any second thought. Then they see something better. They regret & curse for not able to take advantage of the bargain. Then they spend & spend again until nothing’s left. They don’t think about the future. What they’re after is the pleasure they will experience at present. They don’t think about the consequences. Those who engage in unsafe sex, criminality, and the like are included in this group.
2), Everything revolves around what the wt. states, do you have problems? get out in service. Quit your FT job and work PT and expand your ministry. Don't really think about it,,,, just do it.

Number 3 – They Talk Much More Than They Listen
They want to be the star of the show. So they always engage in talks that would make them heroes, even to the point of lying. Oftentimes they are not aware that what they’re saying is not sensible anymore. When other people advise them, they close their ears because they’re too proud to admit their mistakes. In their mind they’re always correct. They reject suggestions because that will make them feel inferior.
3), Hits the bullseye, what else is there to say
Number 4 – They Give Up Easily
Successful people treat failures as stepping stones to success. Incompetent ones call it quits upon recognizing the first signs of failure. At first, they may be excited to start an endeavor. But then they lose interest fairly quickly, especially when they encounter errors. Then they go & search for a new one. Same story & same results. Incompetent people don’t have the persistence to go on and fulfill their dreams.
4), Failures are caused by not relying on our God and the wt org. Fulfilling your dreams ???? We will help you to squash them and focus your life on going door to door selling our version of salvation.
.
Number 5 – They Try to Bring Others Down To Their Level
Incompetent people envy other successful individuals. Instead of working hard to be like them, these incompetent ones spread rumors and try every dirty trick to bring them down. They could have asked these successful ones nicely. But no, they’re too proud. They don’t want to ask advise. Moreover, they’re too negative to accomplish anything.
5), Successful people in the world are completely blind as to what the future holds. The ones who are having a rough time, and focus on our belief system are the only ones who are really successful today. Just listen to any symposium at one of the assemblies
Number 6 – They Waste Their Time
They don’t know what to do next. They may just be contented on eating, getting drunk, watching TV, or worse, staring at the blank wall with no thoughts whatsoever to improve their lives. It’s perfectly fine to enjoy once in a while. But time should be managed efficiently in order to succeed. There should be a proper balance between work & pleasure.
6), If you were ever a witness, this is no doubt one of the highlites ! A proper balance between work and pleasure????? Focus only on
the wt religion and you will be happy.
Number 7 – They Take the Easy Way Out
If there are two roads to choose from, incompetent people would choose the wider road with less rewards than the narrower road with much better rewards at the end.
They don’t want any suffering or hardship. They want a good life. What these people don’t know is that what you reap is what you sow. Efforts & action will not go unnoticed. If only they would be willing to sacrifice a little, they would be much better off. Successful people made it through trials & error. They never give up. They are willing to do everything necessary to achieve what they aspire for in life.
7), Is your life sort of hard? Satan is causing your problems so go out in service more and participate in the meeting better. Is your life going pretty good??? You are loosing focus on serving God so get out in service.
