Jehaovah's Witnesses.....

The 2 fuckers were at my house 5 minutes ago. Fuck them, it really pisses me off. They go around recruiting for their colt.....I mean religon like idiots. They preach about a lot of hypocritical stuff too. They also don't participate in halloween because they don't like all those people at the door. Fucking idots if you ask me.

They don't participate in Halloween because they see it as a satanic holiday. Of all the holidays, I can most easily see why this one would not be celebrated. I don't think it's just because they don't want people at their door.

The last time a JW came to my door, it was a guy so hot I was ALMOST tempted to listen - I was like "Damn! They've totally reworked their marketing stratgy..."

They used to come to my childhood home all the time - we'd see them coming up te street and my dad would ask me to stand away from the door. We're catholic, and we were regular churchgoers at this time - I was in the choir, ad was an altar girl when I got to be a bit older.

Anyway, being a salesman, my dad thinks everyone deserves 30 seconds to make their pitch. So, when they rang the bell, he'd tell them to start, adn he' watch his wristwatch the whole time. After 30 seconds, he'd thell them they hadn't sold him. Final. and shut the door.

The last time they came there I remember clearly, 'cause he did something new - the woman had her daughter with her, a sweet little thing a few years younger than me. When my dad opened the door adn the woman started talking, he kneeled down on the ground and said "Hi little girl!"

the girl and her mother smiled... He says "do you think God loves you?" adn she says "Yes!" he asks "Do you think your mommy loves you?" and she grins, and nods, and says "Yes!!" so my dad says "Did you know, if you were hit by a car, and you needed blood to live, your mommy would let you DIE instead because your religion says so?"

"Mommy mommy is this true?!"

The woman grabbed her child and ran off the porch.

It was mean, bu they never came back to that house.

I have nothing against them, I just wish they wouldn't try and sell their religion to everyone.

Here in the Ozarks they get run off with a shotgun on occasion.

In my opinion, there's too many meth labs around here to be knocking on people's trailer house doors out in the sticks, anyway.

Just a lesser version of Jim Jones.

Captain Craig Button, 32, Crashed a Military A-10 Thunderbolt jet, his parents were Jehovah's Witnesses AND were in Tucson days before his death. They told investigators they had talked with their son about the end of the world. Button then asked for more information on the subject. Investigators found in Button's bed-stand the Bible and a religious pamphlet, which described "God asking a father to sacrifice his only son on a burning pyre at the side of a mountain," the report said. ASSOCIATED PRESS, November 18, 1998

Sorry bro, but that's sensationalistic horse puckey. Jim Jones? You know nothing about the religion. Peace.

Re: Freakmonster:

Dude, I am impressed! You seem to be familiar with the terminology and everything (Pioneers, Circuit Overseers, etc.) Where did you get all this information? I would say you know more than 99% of the general population. No sarcasm intended whatsoever.

My mom has eased up the last few years. She's an extremely intelligent woman, so much so that it boggles me that she is a believer in the Jehovah's Witness faith, or any religion for that matter. I just can't understand.

Bro I know alot about the religion because my ex-GF used to be a practicing JW. Before I dated her I had no clue about the JW religion and didn't even know she was one herself until a buddy of mine died. That was when I was the most vulnerable and she started to tell me about god and everything about her religion. I have to admit that I was very interested in what she was telling me and I started to also talk to her mother about the religion and we started doing some bible studies. Everything seemed pretty interesting and I was getting sucked in until they told me about the door to door thing to try and convert other people. That's when I started having doubts in my mind about the religion.

I then started researching on the internet to find other view points on the religion and also found a book that was very imformative call Crisis of Conscience by a man named Ray Franz who used to be an elder. But he ended up getting dissassociated from the Organization because he had lunch with an Apostate.
In the book he basically exposes what the JW religion is about and all the inconsistencies with the dates. Very good book to read if you want to know the real truth.
Ask your mom if she's ever read that book.

After all this information I tried to confront my gf about it and she did not even want to her me talk because she said the devil had gotten a hold of me and that I was trying to take her away from what she believed in. I couldn't believe what was coming out of her mouth. It was like someone had programmed her to say those kind of things and she did her best to defend her religion even when I showed her inconsitencies. I just shook my head and felt sorry that she had such a negative out look on life and people in general. Thing is you can't debate with a JW because they have cherished beliefs. These beliefs may even be so fundamental to their sense of well-being that they can never talk about them dispassionately. They can't let them not be true.

I've run into the same frustrating experience trying to debate with JWs and a lot of other people with very strong religious beliefs. You can obviously point out their inconsistencies and falsehoods, but they still won't concede. It's ridiculous. Like you said, it would crush their whole world.

Ive known many Christians who have backslid.....seems to me that the JW faith is much stronger..kinda like, once a JW - always a JW...does anyone know of anyone who's chosen to leave the faith??
