Answer 1

To become one of Jehovah's Witnesses involves allot of study amd learning. I doubt you would want to go through all this just to annoy others. As a Witness I can tell you that, while not impossible, it is rather hard to pretend to be a Witness for long and not be seen through.

Also What kind of payment were you thinking of?? We receive NO money for going from house to house.

Answer 2

There are some steps you'll have to take eventually. As with any choice a person has to make, especially when it comes to terms to religion, regardless of the religion, I always say to think carefully about your choice. So pray about the matter again and give it careful consideration. Somewhere I said, that becoming a Witness is a lifestyle. You are a Witness 24/7 no matter what. You cannot change things to suit yourself. So make you sure are ready for it all. 1. Start a study: You're a woman, so a sister should be the one conducting your study. She will be your study conductor and basically be the one you'll feel most comfortable with. She'll bring along someone else on your study. If anything happens to her and she is unable to fulfill her duties, someone else will take her place. I'll also suggest you make note of who she brings, see who you feel most comfortable with and so forth. 2. Attending meetings. 3. Join the Theocratic Ministry School. Here is where you receive what we call 'talks'. Your study conductor will tell you more about this. 4. Become an unbaptized publisher. This is where you go house to house. I know most people said they were scared and so forth. 5. Make a private declaration that you want to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses. 6. Get baptized. This is basically the final step - once you are baptized you have made a public declaration that you are one of Jehovah's Witnesses. WARNING: Please note, and don't say no one told you:- *IF* you commit a serious wrong and you are unrepentant, then you are disfellowshipped in the case of baptism, and removed as an unbaptized publisher if you are not baptized. Disfellowshipping is a serious matter - 7 million Witnesses automatically turn their backs on you. Removal as an unbaptized publisher - less repercussions though some may be particular in their contact with you. If you commit a serious wrong and you are repentant, you'll be reproofed - publicly or privately. Publicly; an announcement is made to the congregation saying XY is on public reproof. Privately; no one knows. So there you have it. EDIT: Forgot to mention. From when you study to the point of baptism you need to make sure that your lifestyle is a clean one. No immorality, no birthday celebrations, no holiday celebrations, no drugs, no smoking, etc etc etc.

Answer 3

The Preaching work is only done by volunteers if you wished to be paid then this is not for you. The literature is given out freely but sometimes will ask for a donation for the paper, printing, and shipping of the literature.

Just so I can go door to door pissing people off?

That is not the purpose of the preaching work. Jesus commanded to preach about his kingdom (Matt 28:19, 1 COL 16:23,24) although he did make it clear to continue to do the work even if people don’t like it or even find it inconvenient for them. (2 Timothy 4:2-4)

Answer 4

I'm a christian and there is nothing wrong with going out and inviting people to church so they can hear the gospel message preached. Going door to door used to be a common practice of lots of christian churches. Now it seems like the JW's have a monopoly on it. It's a shame that they are more zealous for there faith(as untrue as it may be) than many so called christians are for theirs. Jesus said, "follow me and I will make you to become fishers of men". That statement was made to whosoever would come to Him, not just the deciples with Him then.

Answer 5

Don't be silly, please.

If some people want to become one of Jehovah's Witnesses because out of their love for God, deep faith, and love Bible truth then that's fine. To let you know that Jehovah's Witnesses don't get paid for going door-to-door service. I shall always pick God before the money for God is more worthy in our daily lives and him we will only serve.

Answer 8

Unless you are a master at disguising your true motives, I don't think you're going to get very far in this scheme. Eventually, your colleagues will remove you from pioneering duties. What in fact might happen is, you'll take it seriously.

Answer 9

Did you ever really love and care about someone who thought you were a sniveling little annoying idiot? Sometimes it is enough to make us cry. We want you to be as happy as we are. We want you to be as blessed. I think you should be sure to ask your guests to wipe their feet as they leave and thank them for their time and expense in trying to save you. Are you always so bitter??

Answer 10

You have a good idea, but for the wrong reason. You could use a good attitude fix. You should try prayer.
