Crazy Californian Witnesses...

I dont know if you guys noticed or not. But there is a general consensus among my friends and some witnesses that I talk to that there is something almost inherently wrong with Californian witnesses. (I'm on the East Coast)

When i was younger, i used to hear stories about orgies, wife swapping, drug selling and gang member witnesses in the good ole Golden state.
ALong with California, other states, provinces, cities and countries noted for their "debuached" witnesses are Florida, Amsterdam and Australia. I dont know about Australia and Florida though.

Anyway, what have you guys heard/experienced?

I may have been a little sheltered but I certainly never heard any scandals of these types for the 25 years or so I was with them...

Shame really - our part of the world can be quite dull and this would've livened things up a little!

Everyone was pretty uptight and straight laced where I grew up. And keeping in mind that it was Mendocino County, whacky tobaccy capital of the U.S., that's something.

Never heard of any of this... but then I was pretty true blue... maybe they just never invited me... lol

When I was growing up an older sister from California moved into our small town Texas congregation. We thought she was pretty crazy. She was in her 60's and drove a black Trans-Am with the license plate "1 Wild 1". And took it in service....no kidding. She was out there, let me tell ya... She told some interesting stories about the JW's in California being a little 'loose'. I don't know how true they were......

Hey, just becaue the CO removed a whole BOE due to wife sawping in one of the local congregations dosen't mean that California witnesses are weird, we just get too much sun , which sometimes makes us act a little funny.

Hey, I've been here in california 3 years now and I think the witnesses here are more fanatical than the midwest.

There's nothing like having some punkass 13 year old 'brother' inform me that this stuff is really serious(meetings, service, worshiping the WT corp, etc.)

Never in my life did I have a punkass brat encourage(bully) me to be more spiritual.

Really?

Mind if i ask what part of Cali you are from?

My first congregation I attended here was Buena Park,, went there for a few months,,, moved to long beach,, went to maybe a handful of meetings and that was it.

I just know that Buena Park Congo was very fanatic,, well,, speaking of fanatic,, the last Long Beach meeting I attended,, During the watchtower study,

a sister was practically yelling into the microphone that if we didn't go out preaching then we were LIARS!!!! because as baptized witnesses we promised to

go preaching door to door,, you are a LIAR!!!! reminded me of the fat lady from 'trading spouses' or 'wife swap'... we all know the episode.
