PTSD is my bugaboo. All it takes are certain sounds or smells, and I immediately react again to certain childhood events. Recognizing those reactions for what they are helps me keep my cool. |

You seem to base your claims on what is only possible, no matter how unlikely it may actually be.
Sad, if true. |

I use JWspeak ironically sometimes. Noted. Have you ever thought of writing a lexicon of JWSpeak? The kind where each word has three meanings: What they say, what you hear, and what they really mean would be great. I could although it would probably only have very limited appeal.

If someone turns them down that’s on the person, not them. They are looking for “right-hearted ones” (i.e. people who will accept the message). When I see the words "Right-Hearted" in this context, I think "ignorant and gullible". I have no intent to offend you; it is just how ... |

If they don’t preach, they could be keeping people from hearing the Truth, which could make them bloodguilty and bar them from eternal life. So . . . every time someone slams a door in their faces, they have lost their chance of preaching their "truth", thus damning them to Hell. How do ... |

So the official JW&WTS's doctrine is to avoid having children. How do they address contraception and abortion? Are they to 'officially' increase their number only by recruitment? Is this why they go door-to-door? |
