How I handled a Jehovah's Witness the other day | |

I was sitting one of their [many] meetings one day and literally just snapped out of it. I looked around at all of the people in the congregation and how robotic and fake everyone was and quickly got my coat and left. Never went back to the Kingdumb Hall after that. |

BlavkRabbit User ID: 39609386 Greece 05/10/2013 10:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I didn't know wth Jehovah's Witness was, so I asked them quiestions and when I got home I didn't throw away the magazines but I (a functional dyslexic) read every single line the magazines had. After having enough information about the religion, I said to myself "What a piece of crap. Can't they write better stories?" And that's the story how I hooked myself on sci-fi, even stories about weird aliens, space traveling and mambo-jumbo bear like future offspring of the human race seemed more realistic than the Watch Tower. Thank you Jehovah's Witnesses Last Edited by BlavkRabbit on 05/10/2013 10:23 AM |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 39613285 United States 05/10/2013 10:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | She was quiet, smiling as I said JW is a shitty cult. Of course all JWs have been told that in some form. Then at the tail end, she made some kind of sarcastic sounding "uh-huh" that sounded like a snobby librarian. I made the exact same snobby noise back at her, twice as loud. LOL I find JWs invasive and annoying, and dangerous to the weak minded. |

BlavkRabbit User ID: 39609386 Greece 05/10/2013 10:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How about we learn to respect other people's religions when they honestly believe that they are looking out for our best interest... I don't understand why you would find the need to try and tear down that person's beliefs when she obviously seemed very happy and comfortable with them. That may have been over the top... and well, you know, as they say, a fanatic is always concealing a secret doubt. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34836986 They should respect other people's privacy though. I can't stand having them knocking on my door to proselytize me, if I wanted to be a JW I would go to them, not the other way around. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21507194 As soon as I saw that it was Jehovah's Witness material, I said right away, "Ahhh Jehovah's Witness, eh? You NEED to get out of that cult right away. It is VERY important that you leave it immediately. Religion across the board is man-made nonsense, however Jehovah's Witness is a shitty cult! It is a controlling, shitty cult. It is VERY important that you leave them right away and not look back". That is what I say to JW's who approach me with their cultish material. nothing to be proud of |

Like it or not that is how it is. They start losing cases and we will start losing freedom. That is on its way anyway. |
