Yep, they still knock around in my area. I don't think they look too happy though..It's mostly the older ones I see. The elders have been knocking on my door two months before the RC then ran out of puff just as it wound up..Interesting hey?

Do US JWs Still Knock on Doors?
by cultBgone inthis may sound like a silly question, but do jws even door-knock any more?
the few i know only speak of "manning the cart" at some public location, and because they get defensive if i even ask an innocent question like this i thought i'd ask it on the forum.
thanks!.

Have my beautiful blessing from jehovah
by Ghiagirl inas my husband always says sarcastically about our newborn son, how people contradict themselves.
well he is a blessing but he is also the reason you are being shunned and were run out of the organization because you had premarital sex.
my beautiful son is finally here, and who texts and calls us the day he is born??

A great big hug and congratulations on your' son, you lovely mother you...You are a clever and loving person. Stuff them, the ones who abandoned you...that is of course unless you decide to let them in again..That is your' choice. For now, all gentle, all kind, all the soft things that don't hurt your' soul.

Exiting the JW cult, by Bonnie Zieman.
by Sabin inhello to you all, i`m reading this book exiting the jw cult & i think so far it is brilliant.
i emailed a friend the other day and said "sometimes i feel rage that isn't good towards the j dub`s & what they do to others".
then i came across this section in the book, pg 62-63, where it says.

I have bought the book as soon as I saw your post and have been reading it. One of the better books as far as I have read...Thanks for telling us/me about it. It's not a bitter book. It's written with a lot of good helpful "other books" to resource or articles to read online... -

OSCE (The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe
by Paul Bonanno ini have noticed that the jws are participating in meetings organized by the osce.
they are registered or participate under the "european association of jehovah's christian witnesses".
one point highlighted in this organization is tolerance.

TheWonderofYou
Just a question. Is being a member of the OSCE related to "sort of" membership or alliance with the UN. Do you know the requirements in regard to attending such meetings?
I understand that the OSCE is also about the security of those member countries...Hence the S and the co-operation bit being the C. However, religious persecutions aside, is there not a very "military" application to the OSCE?I have read a small amount on the subject and wonder if you could fill me in or direct me to the relevant sites or pages that may supply the answer. Not lazy, not at all, but you seem to know more about this .........

This so convoluted and incredibly dangerous...

JW Elder Lawsuit Update: AAWA Fliers are Illegal and Uncle claims he is "Going to Kill us in Court"!
by ReligionOfHatred inhi, my uncle made the first move by taking my mom, dad, grandma and grandpa(all in good jws in standing and non have put out anti-jw fliers or speech), that's who he is taking to court.
i have left the organization but than again, i was only a unbaptized publisher.
my grandma (whom i love so dearly was shocked to learn "i am not going to marry a pioneer and i don't want anything to do with any pro-jw females, i feel this religion is one of the most hateful religions mankind has seen).

Perhaps edit it to key points. When there is a lot to say, bullet points do help. I have sometimes posted and re read it. Only to discover that it was not going to make sense. Then I would go back and make some changes or wipe it out until I was able to make a relevant statement of facts in some sort of order.....Don't feel too bad, you are very upset and need a little time to calm your' thoughts then reorder the post.. -
