  Why are JW's so boring?

  by howdidtihappen in

  i hung out with a group of jw's the other night for the first time outside going to kingdom hall, and the conversation was seriously limited.

  do jw's just not want to talk about anything that regular people with a clue about something in the world get together to talk about, or are they really that boring due to the brainwashing?

  it was astonishing.

  What do Jehovah's Witnesses get baptized into?

  ok, so every other religion in the world's baptism is invalid according to jw's, and theirs is the only true baptism.

  that's the story i get.

  i have a few questions about that:.

  What exactly are men at the back of the hall taking care of?

  once people have come in, and the doorman and the mic men are in place, why are there a few other suits scattered about at the back?

  i saw a guy get up, sit down, get up, sit down, get up and when i looked what he was up to he was reading the noticeboard and looking around, waiting for a bus.

  i figured he wasn't doing much at that point, but anything to not stay seated.

  Kingdom Hall Observations

  i've done a thread on this before, but i've made new observations at the hall (trust me, i just go now for entertainment value and baptism has been put off until forever) thus have new questions i want to ask the "great crowd" here.

  i might be imagining it because i've become so skeptical of jehovah's witness behavior, but when i ask them certain things, they shut down as if i'm heavily criticizing or they imply that only "spiritually up building things" should be spoken about.

  it's bizarre.

  Why do JW's come to bible studies in pairs?

  my teacher said "the holy spirit is not present unless there's 3 people, usually.".

  wtf!?

  she even said it with a straight face.. .

  The New World Translation Quote from an Elder

  by howdidtihappen in

  2. beliefs

  you've probably heard this before, but at a meeting last night the elder called the nwt the "rolls royce" of bibles.

  i'm new to the jw bs (and as soon as i can break away, will do so.

  ) but do they also believe they have a superior bible to anyone elses outside the religion?

  Oh the weirdness: Observations from a study

  by howdidtihappen in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i started studying jw with a work friend because she used to keep me at arms length and i knew it was because of her religion.

  she and her family are such lovely people so i thought maybe there was something to it, how bad can it be, etc.

  i was enticed by this girls friendship as she has been spending more time with me but continues to say "you're not one of us yet" which continually freaks me out.
