My problem is the trickery. If you want to try and get me to convert to your faith, and i say I'm not interested don't hide your info in a another pamphlet. To me that shows weakness.

Oh I agree with you 100%...me I am a Mason, and so I must take care of the weak and those less fortunate than I, and so I lead by example. I keep an open my mind and listen to what they have to say; if they do not give me my turn to speak and pay me the same respect of also keeping an open mind, then I know they aren't, as individuals, someone who is worth my time conversing with. When it comes to the JWs I have to keep my judgement based on the individual, their delivery, and their willingness to also listen and learn. I judge someone by their own actions, not by my own generalized view of what their religion means to me. Not every JW will hide a pamphlet in your back pain brochure, but in fairness to your point I have met a few that would... just like I have met some raised Masons go around asking people to join, and I have met those that would like to have the same brought up on Masonic charges for asking....its just people being people....

So ........... if I were to stick a big plaque of the Square and Compasses outside when I answer the door.

Are you saying we could cut through the small talk and get straight to the goodbyes?

I have just discovered more wages of a master mason.

:sneaky2:

I had no idea the JW disapprove of Masonry. I just told them I am already a devout man and I am quite happy with my religion as it is. They started walking past my door. I'd greet them if they passed while I was out gardening. I don't have any idea if it was the S&C on my car or the fact that the local group happened to speak Spanish and I answered in English.

I love some of their tactics. They usually will ask if I'm having trouble sleep due to back problems. I say no. They say "well check this pamphlet out, just in case" I say "ok" then I proceed to open the pamphlet and low and behold, there it is, sandwiched in between the other pamphlet. " Are you aware that the rapture is eminent?" Why trick someone into that?

LMAO! They do use tricky tactics like that!

Freemasonry only ask us to believe in God/Deity. That we don't have to be of any particular religion but to be religious in our daily devotion to our creator. " belief in the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God " Religion scares me or rather organize type does(sometimes). Truth is the truth, it's our journey and as human beings we take different paths to the same destination.

You know, I have never once had a JW stop in on my place - never once.

My truck is parked right out front with so many Masonic and Army stickers and whatnot on it that I'm wondering if it has acted as a ward ;)

I grew up as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. They are good people. There message really isn't saying anything wrong. They dont hate us, for I am a Master Mason as well, its just that they are very conservative and very "by-the-book." They don't believe in symbolism and serving more than one master. I stepped away from the religion onky because I became fed up with the idea of denominations and religions. I really hate the idea of diffrent affiliations amongst Masons. Seperation amongst any people causes problems.

So you already know. :) Its just so much miscommunication and everybody standing up for their belief which they're entitled to. We are blessed/cursed with free will and thought
