It's crazy people think we're so secluded, the point about worldly people is what I posted earlier, "bad associations spoil useful habits" meaning we don't want to be around people who might have reason to make us compromise our moral standards. see my analogy of a smoker in an earlier post. |

my GF said she wasn't allowd to talk to "worldly pagans"? There's no money involved or required in what we do. It's all supported by donations and nothing set either like some religions do, they will give you a bible for a set donation of $60. You give what you can, no one gets paid to this not even what you could call the highest member, which really doesn't exist we are all equal. I work for a living and practice my religion like a lot of other people, including all Witnesses. The work we do going to people's houses is done also freely and comes from your heart and the sense of responsability on what we are required by God to do, not because we are forced to do so or to meet a quota. Yes there are some things called territories which just split up the area into organized pieces and we go to that area for whatever time it is done, this changes everyweek usually, so that it is all worked without having people repeting the same areas and honestly pissing people off. We do keep track of our service for number purposes, just to see how much growth there is within the organization, as of 2005 I believe there was a little over 6.5 million Witnesses in 235 countries, but that's it. |

Another fact many people don't know, is that Jehovah's Witnesses were persecuted just as badly if not worse than the Jews during the Holocaust. They had to wear a purple triangle identifying them as such. |
