. I'm telling you now, stop peddling useless magazines that YOU haven't even read, and go to college. EDUCATE yourself about the religion you grew up in. You know where I live."
So true, i used to go in FS and hadn't even read the mags. just BS my way through the sermon.
I printed out some silent lamb tracts, and I'm ready!!!!
Good for you, I was never in the borg, so I can only imagine how satisfying it must be to finally confront them with no fear. You go on with your bad self
WHooo HOOO I am proud of you. I really hope it sets in and makes them think!!. God I cannot believe I used to be one of those shy bumbling women knocking at your door. The ingraining of that women aren't much and you should not educate yourself.. has been a hard thing to conquer.
I have my younger sister prodded and she has done well for herself. It is my Middle sister I worry about. She is on baby #2 ( she just told me now and I am mixed about it.) I am happy about a new life. But not happy about the circumstances that this new life is going to be brought into.
So hopefully you have planted a seed that will germinate.
Very true about planting seeds that may grow later. Years ago, I had a householder (Bible teacher) tell me that she respected what the JW's were doing in witnessing door to door but she had studied the NWT Bible and came to the conclusion that it was a very spurious rendition. I went home and looked that up: Websters - "Spurious: false, counterfeit, fraudulent". I said to myself "Oh, really?" but I NEVER forgot the incident. Now I completely agree.
Later, I had a male householder run out the door after me shouting "Go away. You ruined my daughter's life". I don't know if his daughter was in the Borg our out of the Borg but I NEVER forgot that incident either.
That was awesome. I wish someone had spoken plainly to me many years ago, I could have avoided the situation I'm in now. My wife and I have to work our behinds off because we listened to the WT drivel which looked down on attending college. I swallowed their puke, hook, line, and sinker. To those JW's who may be lurking here, listen to the wisdom of LDH, otherwise you will have a lifetime of servitude, both to the WT and to dead end jobs. Most young JW's are clueless. They are just spewing out verbatim WT propaganda without checking on the validity of the message they're defending. Most young witnesses I know stay in because of family and friends. It's simply a social club, nothing more. With the JW mindset, I hope that they don't think that SSSSatan was after them. I feel sorry for them too. I hope they wake up before they give too many of their years to the golden calf we all know and love called The Watchtower.
The crazy thing is, my delivery was perfect. I never raised my voice, acted angry at them, or let THEM get a word in edgewise.
I spoke from the heart, and I can only hope they heard it.
The sister in back, when I mentioned their secretive involvement with the UN, you could tell she had never even HEARD of it. I just know she will ask around.....
Did I mention I had on my flannel Christmas PJs LOL.
