JW'S: WHAT A LOVING BUNCH!

  I just found out that one of my moms friends is in the process of being taken to the cleaners by her scumbag son-in-law and her own daughter---both who are Witnesses. She's been widowed for several years now and, like many Witnesses, her husband had no life insurance (why bother----the New System was going to be here long before either of them got sick or died right?) and she had never worked outside the home.

  Anyway, she managed to save enough money through working part time (she gets part of her husband's pension but it's only about $800.00 a month) and she put a small downpayment on a place to live. Since she had only worked cleaning houses on a part time basis, the banks wouldn't give her a mortgage so her daughter and son in law said they would "hold the mortgage" for her. In other words, she would give them the downpayment, they would get the mortgage, she'd make the monthly payments and if she wanted to sell down the road then she'd have some equity in the place.

  Well now she wants to sell and take one guess what's happened? That's right: her daughter and slimey son-in-law are saying that it's their home, not hers and that she "misunderstood" them when they made their original plan and that she's not entitled to any equity in the house---it's all theirs.

  She was really upset and is considering legal action. She said she knows she's not supposed to take her brother to court but I got my mother to tell her that that was only in "trivial matters", which this wasn't. My parents both agreed and are thoroughly disgusted. They never liked her son-in-law to begin with----he's one of those arrogant jerkoffs that even the most dedicated JW has a problem being nice to.

  Isn't this a wonderful example of the "true Christian love" that we see only amongst God's Chosen Ones? I asked my mother what this idiot's last name was. Knowing me as she does, she wouldn't tell me. But that's okay, because my dad did.

  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the dear son-in-law deserves an "Asshole of the Year" Award sent to him in the mail.

  Wouldn't you agree?

  Maybe, just maybe, if enough people knew about him or sent him the AOTY award, he would reconsider.

  what a nice guy...Sadly I know of a lot of stories like this one. I remember a JW that screwed over a few "brothers" , his excuse was "in business there are now brothers".

  Send me his name and I will send him an Asshole of the Month Award. Maybe if a couple hundred people did so, he would understand that he didn't get away with it in the dark at least.

  I could never comprehend how anyone can fully and conscientiously, sit there at the Kingdom Hall and go out in Service all the while knowing that you've ripped off your elderly relative out of what was rightfully theirs. How the hell can you go out and preach how evil the rest of the world is when you've pulled off a heineous act like this? Aren't they afraid that Jehovah will strike them dead?

  Like Anti-Christ said: this is an all too familiar story in Organization. I remember several years ago there was another "brother" who owned a construction company. He not only ripped off some of the brothers at the Hall, but also his fleshy relatives too. His one brother lost everything and had to declare bankruptcy while this scumbag ripped his own parents off for something like $40,000. What was so pathetic is that, while everyone he screwed over was living hand to mouth and reeling over what he had done, this guy was so stressed out over the way he was being treated that he took his entire family to Disney World for a much needed vacation.

  He got a slap on the wrist from the elders and wasn't allowed to go out in Service for about 6 months (ya, like that's a punishment ). It took those that he stole from years to recover financially and I don't know if they ever got over it emotionally.

  Here's the award to all those that take pride in ripping the elderly off and which I think I'll send to this guy. I might even have it matted and framed:

  There is a JW here who is a "friend" of my husbands. He bought the empty lot across the street from us for like $40,000 back in 04. We decided we were needing to build a bigger home so in talking to this "friend" the guy said he would sell this half acre lot to us for $80,000. Thats a good deal here in the middle of Palm Beach County. So we agreed. We proceeded to design the house, have an architect draw up the plans at great expense, had the lot surveyed and mowed it and kept it up...showing everybody where the house would be and how it would be layed out. The kids were so excited!

  One day this brother shows up at the door. He comes in and says, you know, in this market Im pretty sure I could get more for that lot, can we agree on $120,000? And we talked awhile and said we thought it was worth that and so agreed on that.

  A few months later...brother shows up again, sits on my couch and says "I had an offer of $190,000 on the lot...and even though we agreed on $120,000, I am not LEGALLY obligated to sell it to you because we didnt have a written contract. I may be morally and ethically obligated but this is business!" And I almost killed the man! My husband made me leave the room. Then, as if it made a damn bit of difference, he says "Oh dont worry...If you dont buy it I wont sell it at all BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO RUIN OUR FRIENDSHIP" What the FUCK???? He just cost us $5000 in fees and plans, and upped the price from $80,000 to $120,000 to $190,000 and SCREWED US and our CHILDREN and he thinks he HASNT destroyed this friendship????? OMG

  After he left my husband was so mad he went to the back of our house and kicked the metal screen enclosure on our patio until he was exhausted...for letting this asshole make a fool of him and that he TRUSTED this man on his word becuase he was a BROTHER! And to top it off...my husband told the guy he could move all his storage sheds from that property to ours because he couldnt legally store anything on that lot if he didnt live on it....and do you know that to this DAY that shithead has his shed on our property and is storing his shit FREE on MY YARD? My husband said he did that in case someday he wanted to buy the lot and to keep his options open! FOUR YEARS without blinking this asshole has stored his shit on my lot.

  I have told my husband that the shed and its contents have to be gone by December 31 or Im breaking the lock and putting his shit to the curb. And the kicker is, this asshole comes and goes putting stuff in it and taking shit out of it...whenever he sees im NOT home!

  they have absolutely NO shame.
