dear boarders,.

i am planning to write precident bush a letter and asking to start a investication into the wt.

chance of 1 on a billion, but nevertheless.. i am writing a book about jw's and it is fiction and real with a happy end, namely the newspapers mentioned the research with large head lines.

BizzyBee

Couldn't hurt.

But bear in mind that Mr. Bush is currently up to his arse in alligators and may not get back to you right away.

just wanted to run an informal poll to see how "effective" or hopelessly "ineffective" the borg tract assimilation drive has been.. i for one, have not received the tract, and i live in densely populated development.

did anybody get it left in their doors/mailboxes?.

BizzyBee

Not yet.

Nor have I a received a call back from a witnoid who placed a little book with me 6 weeks ago. Maybe she didn't like that I asked about 1914.

i still believe in god.

still believe his name is jehovah or something like it.. still believe that jesus is his son, and he isn't god almighty.. don't believe in the trinity.

i believe in the resurrection.

BizzyBee

Nahhhhh. But I think the more important question is:

Does God believe in us?

Active JWs, hows KN37 going?

by StillGroggy in

hey everybody, i had an interesting time pushing a tract that i don't believe in this weekend.

i had to develop my own method of placing it without having to talk about it, since i fear if i was confronted by someone asking "do you people think you're the only true religion", i might break down and tell the person at the door "no, i don't".

the witness at the door with me would scream in terror, and i would be insta-dfed.

BizzyBee

StillGroggy: Do what you have to do for your family. We've all been there to some degree or another.

sKally: I have long admired your 'witnessing' work and I agree in principle with your observations, but not, perhaps, to the degree of alarm you obviously feel.

Yes, the WTS is a dangerous and evil empire. However, as has been demonstrated, the door-to-door work with WTS literature is so ineffective (boring, poorly written and produced literature, sullen, ill-informed, unknowledgeable and indifferent salesmen, and a tired, tedious message, etc.), I don't think it is the equivalent danger of a bomb being placed in the school lunchroom that you seem to infer.

I do not believe that converts are won by balky, glazed-eyed witnoids who are just going through the motions or even by the literature itself, contrary to BS testimonials found in the pages of the WT and Awake. ("Just as she was about to give up any hope of finding the real truth, she spotted a mere scrap of page torn from an Awake, lodged behind a dryer at the laundromat, and, reading it over and over, came to a full knowledge of the truth as taught by the FDS and as soon as she could contact the witnesses, was baptized on the spot.") In my experience it is usually, 1st family that is ~~guilty,~~ responsible for converts and 2nd, charisimatic, enthusiastic, agressive witnoid personalities that bring 'em in.

With all due respect.

What would you say is the main reason why people didn't listen to us?

by JH in

jw
friends

when i started going out door to door, i was sure i'd bring a couple of people with me to the org.

i knew my parents believed in god and the bible, so i was sure i'd be able to convince them with a few simple verses that we had the truth.

but no, they didn't seem convinced enough to want to study.

BizzyBee

What would you say is the main reason why people didn't listen to us?

Gosh, I don't know. Because we were boring, ignorant and presumptuous? Just guessing.

They probably had a couple of gallons of coffee with them................

If so, they had to either be catheterized or brought a urinal. Other possibilities are too unpleasant to contemplate............but at least we know they had plenty of TP in their book bags!

RADICAL ELDERS WHO BROKE THE RULES - we salute you

by dannygwalsh in

thought id inject a bit of light hearted humor , any stories of elders who were unorthodox in a witness way , .

there was one elder in the hall i used to attend called ronnie [edit] , who i still like and admire as a person to this day , he was always very outspoken when he didnt agree with the society on there policy and doctrines and was pra, ctically opposed to bethel service , i remember him giving a talk on applying for bethel service in the km many years ago , and at the end of the talk he said joking with a wry smile , i dont know why any of the brothers would want to do that , sounds like slave labour to me, also whe he was conducting the revelation book study , when it talked about the seven plagues of god being fulfilled in a wt convention in ohio in 1919 , he turned round and said , i dont know where the society get all this from , ... .

he also had a very distinctive voice spoken thru pursed lips in a rasp like voice saying thats just stupid , whenever he didnt agree with the society and other elders , a great man in spite of his beliefs , he was one of the elders on my jc who srongly opposed my disfellowshipping , but he was overuled- .

BizzyBee

The seven plagues/conventions thing IS hillarious, he just had the marbles to say it on the stage.

Great! That particular piece of idiocy was instrumental in my leaving the WTS.
