if you and a fellow jehovah's witness went to a house where the homeowner brought up a watchtower doctrine which you secretly disagree with, would you defend it or tell them what it is you really believe?.
either way you are at a loss.. defending something you disagree with is living a lie and telling a lie.
not defending it and telling the home owner what you really believe makes you an apostate by watchtower society standards.

That's a pretty difficult situation to be in since you have another Jehovah's Witness with you who would probably stab you in the back and report back to base.
have been going to a few meetings to support my kids that have to go with their mother.
i knew it would be a powerful lesson for them to see how these loving people treat their father who da'd a while ago.
couple of elders tried to corner me the 2nd or 3rd time i went to remind me that i cant talk to anyone.... i however reminded them that i am not df'd and i can talk to whomever i want to.
It puzzles them when you don't play by their silly assed little rules.
well i went on a date saturday, and while i was walking to to the restaurant i see one of the 'elders' in one of my old congregations ( central compton ) walked past me real fast .
i realized it was one of the 'elders' who protected the 'elder' who held my card ( other story ) for 8 months .
well to make the long story short other witness came, and where scared to see me back in town lol.
Tell us more!
so here are some interesting quotes from the wt in yesterday's wt "study".
i have printed some words in bold type to make my point.. par.
12 "as part of that annual observance, children would ask their parents questions....".
They deserve the Watchtower Society if they don't pay attention any better than that.
recently attended a sad.. bethel speaker was gushing about the wt's embrace of new technology, in the part of his talk warning about "apostate" web sites.. a loose summary of his comments:.
"and the brothers at headquarters have made it very safe for you to go to our website.
in fact, the brothers talked to the folks at google, and they made a special arrangement so that when you type in 'j w period' into the google search engine, it automatically shows you the jw.org website.
When I type in "jw." without hitting ENTER "jw.org" is the first result followed my "jwfacts.com"
If I hit ENTER after typing in "jw." all I get is a satanic cult's apostate website
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17186092-2013-yearbook-of-jehovah-witnesses.
the 2014 reviews were there too but not nearly as many as the 2013 yet.. .
more interesting than the reviews of the yearbook were the number of other reviews and ratings posted by the various users.. some of them were quite impressive with the number of books they had read and rated.. .
i think the jw comfort for the brokenhearted facebook page needs a few more well placed comments from the other side.
i see that a lot of jw's i know have friended this site.. the poem below is one of their offerings.. .
https://www.facebook.com/pages/comfort-for-the-brokenhearted/344767848880643.
Here is what I think about that facebook page....
i only ask because i hardly ever see them out on the ministry.
it is a very rare sighting to spot them actively engaged in the house to house ministry.
or out on the street work, in the marketplace, etc.. the other reason i ask is because they are constantly pictured as being on the preaching work.
The last time I saw JW's in the door to door work was sometime around 2007.
I do see some occasionally in the grocery store where I recieve the Watchtower shun.
i just made a new account, anyone like to add me as friend?.
