Feeling responsible for other peoples lives can put you in dangerous situations too. Making yourself walk up to a person you would normally avoid to offer them magazines - as a woman, I often felt stressed. I thought I should go talk to that crazy person, but couldn't make myself do it. How many others have ignored their gut feelings that something is not safe, just to save themselves from being Blood Guilty?

"Blood Guilty"
by new boy inguilt is such a wonderful tool used by the jehovah’s witnesses.
one of the terms they love to use is the term “blood guilty.” they have actually used this term to guilt their members into doing more and more “house to house activity” yes, they have said on numerous occasions at their kingdom halls and other major gathering that a person “could be blood guilty” for not going out in the field service activity enough.
the reason is simple.

I'm curious about how they are picking these speakers. This guy does gestures like he's never done them in his life.
When I looked at the bible without the WT glasses, I realized that JW's spreading the Good News, was in contrast to what the bible said.
And I saw another angel flying through the sky, carrying the eternal Good News to proclaim to the people who belong to this world--to every nation, tribe, language, and people.
So they are wasting their time cause an angel has already been assigned to do that. Not that I believe the bible anymore.
I was also disappointed with the bait and switch approach with the convention vid. I wanted to see a JW marching around declaring everyone is going to die - too late for you! But we will never get one from the WT. I wish I had the ability to make vids. I'd have Tony listening to the talk and imagining giant hailstones crushing buildings and people and then you see it hit an ice cream truck. Then he'd jump up and shout "No not the Ice Cream" and then everyone would be staring at him for a few seconds until he gave a weak smile and waved as he sat back down.
Perfect for Monty Python.

It is a chance to do some trickery I say. Of course it is up to you if you want to do this. But I would make some comments after they bashed the Catholics and their faith.
Any religion that hides such terrible crimes, can't be the true religion right?
I wonder how many Catholics are saying "Well the pope -archbishop etc are just men and they make mistakes! Aren't children's well being, physical and mental, worth protecting? Why didn't they go to the police? Only a religion that is more interested in saving face and money, tells their followers not to take it to the authorities.
It would be great if they agreed or added something similar. Then hopefully soon, when the WT is taking to task in a public way, you can remind them they thought those things were terrible about another religion, why aren't they taking the same stance for the WT?
Might give it a try. I do stuff like that at work. Never know when the last straw will happen for a JW.

I've watched the movie but also saw the documentary on these people. To go to sleep when you are a teen and wake up in your 60's. Doing the Charleston because it was the last dance you learned so many years ago. Many stopped using the drug when the side affects dominated the results. But one lady was very feisty and kept taking it even if the tics and involuntary movements made it difficult to even comb her hair.
Yeah, much like the WT has done to us. Took our childhood away and replaced it with the living nightmare of doom. Only then when you are old, you wake up. I wish I was as feisty as that lady. But maybe one day I will be.

Wonder how the Wt will spin this? Silent respectful large group of ex jw's with lists of pedophiles and web sites. Maybe they will send a special group out with cameras to record faces and web sites.
"Don't be persuaded by the lies of the Satan Driven Apostates! Like the the cautious snake, they silently wait to strike at the unwary! How much contempt they must have in their hearts for Jehovah! to stand in the same place as his loyal servants!"
Yeah, they got to come up with something.

Were You Close To Your Non JW Family?
by minimus ini was thinking of how little i know about my father’s side of the family.
i recently inquired about ancestry.com and i’ve come to the realization that even the closest sides of my family via my father, are unknown to me .
what a shame that jehovah’s witnesses kept us apart.

The most presents we ever got, was from the worldly side. I felt guilty but glad to get them. I knew my mother's mom the best. My father's side was like a gypsy's family - always a little crazy and dangerous but we did get to see them on and off thru the years.
But, because of my dad saving my brother from the JW religion, he is actually like a distant relative. We had little contact with him since he was living a real life and acquiring friends so now, it's difficult to have a lot interaction in his life.
Everyone outside of the bubble of JWdom always had that feeling of "okay they may be nice, but I shouldn't get to close to them"

So anytime you happen to meet one of the magnificent eight, he's going to be just an average joe on the street. Wouldn't it be just funny if a clueless "JW" met one and went on and on how he's just one of the guys without the rest of the "Anointed?"
