Being afraid
by Bang inwhen an angel from god came with news, the message started with "don't be afraid" because they were from god - no reason to be afraid.
jws bring the message of "be afraid" and "aren't things all shitty" and "the end of the world is nigh".
as a jw, if someone told you plainly and firmly "their thoughts of your quest" when you told the gloomy message, how would you react?

Does the wtbts have a 'bible study' on this?
by Bang ini posted this on the main section but it seems that it's not a well known issue.
it's the question regarding the way jws go door to door.
[luke 10:7.23] and remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide,for the laborer deserves his wages; do not go from house to house.

Only one witness?
by Bang in.
just words, no works - people can't establish their word, yet they believe the lie, because they say they have works too.. don't be feeling too diddled - they did say they had works, it's just that eventually you couldn't establish it - the one witness was exposed as false because it cannot be both true and supported by good works - these witnesses don't agree.. bang

What's with the third person ?
by Bang inhas everyone noticed that the wtbts are always talking about jws like some kind of anthropological observer, rather than using "we" or "us".
a quick look at their website and you can see the language.
there's no "we", it's all "them", so i suppose when they get it wrong again it was "them", not "us".. when confronted with blame they can just hang them out to dry - whoever they are.

Door to door
by Bang infor the newbies and jw lurkers, i 'm posting on this topic again.. "do not go from house to house" (jesus christ).
the apostles did not go from door to door apart from revisiting their own flock in their homes (see paul).
going from house to house is the sure way to give what is holy to dogs and swine, who then having been instructed proceed to buy, via their own labour, and then learn to attack others by this, thinking themselves more worthy due to their own effort (see hagar).

Fornication & the wtbts
by Bang inspiritually?
fornication - engaging in the pleasure that comes from spreading your 'seed' around with the ones you like the look of, and when your 'drunk' just about anyone - not particularly concerned about marriage or the result of the union.
i suppose it includes spilling your seed without impregnating, as long as you got to use the person.
