Jehovah's Witnesses, urgent question for you.?

Question

I am a student in Texas and one of my friends is interested in attending a meeting. But she stays in Bloomington and I just have one night to find help for her. Once college starts in September, students are busy so just wanted to know if someone knows what is the procedure to help people like my friend.

Thank you.

Very simple my friend.  Let your fingers do the walking.  Yellow Pages.  Don't panic.  If there's a will, there's a way.  I wonder what is going to happen there.

Hey, look the answer above me.  See, I can also think like a Jehovah's Witnesses.  4 years in the know how and the what for's, and the what is.  Hello fellow brother/sister.

Answer 6

As others have stated, the phone book is the best way to get in contact with the local congregation.

However, you may want to give her this warning, as well:

Jehovah's Witnesses and their students (aka "studies") are allowed, even encouraged, to ask questions to bring them to a better understanding of the Watchtower's teachings. However, there is no tolerance for challenging the authority of their "Governing Body," nor of the official doctrine as dispensed by these sinful, errant humans.

The difference between having questions and challenging their authority can be seen here:

Should a follower of the Watchtower Society find a discrepency in the teachings, he is encouraged to "ask the elders" at which point, they will try to persuade the questioner into agreement. However, in the event that he is not convinced, there is unconditional expectation that the individual must QUIETLY disagree, keeping his findings to himself and patiently wait for "new light" (official change in doctrine). Failure to do will result in accusations of apostasy, being "marked" and often leads to disfellowshipping and shunning.

Sometimes, even the nature of the questions can lead to stern warnings, being "marked," accusations of apostasy, etc. This is because the Watchtower Society has effectively sheltered the average JW from a great deal of negative information about their society. They've been repetitively warned through their publications and in public discourses that they are expected to steer clear of any information that shines a negative light on their Organization. So, when a JW asks questions that are regarding information that is not common knowledge to the average member of the congregation, suspicion quickly arises.

Anyone who believes that they may be teaching truth would be wise to pray, research and challenge away, before the stakes get higher! (accusations of apostacy, loss of family and friends, scarred children, the list goes on) And all in the name of "Unity!" For this reason and many others, the Jehovah's Witnesses are widely recognized as a psychologically and spiritually abusive cult.

These words are not mine, but I hope you'll find them helpful! :)

All religions have one thing in common: they encourage their members to work as hard as they can to gain everlasting life, the celestial kingdom, nirvana, or whatever else they want to call it.

Biblical Christianity, however, is different. Instead of earning our goal as a reward, it is offered to us freely as a gift through Jesus Christ as the perfect sacrifice, whose offering of Himself was complete to earn our way to everlasting life with God the Father.

As Jesus Christ was dying, he said “It is finished” because from that point on, all anyone had to do was to trust His sacrifice to cover their sins. Everyone needs this sacrifice because the Bible tells us in Romans 3:23 that we are all sinners.

We are in such bad condition that when we try to earn favor with God through our good works, Isaiah 64:6 tells us that our righteous deeds are like filthy rags to God. In Mark 10:27 Jesus is answering His disciples’ question, “who then can be saved?” He said, “with man, this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible.”

God realizes that man cannot possibly save himself through door-to-door preaching or ordinances of a church. That’s why God did not send an organization or a church to offer us peace with God, but He sent His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus says in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father but through me.”
