Official Reason Why So Many JW's Bonkers.

    I spoke to my JW mum yesterday evening. I told her all about George, the JW who has decided to make my pub his watering hole. I told her that he was on the verge of being banned for his loudness and his appalling rudeness to the landlady. I told her that he had a total lack of social graces, that he was a pain in the neck and totally unqualified to sit in judgement on others as JW’s are prone to do.

    Know what she said? She said that the fact that there were so many intellectually backward and emotionally retarded people in the congregations, was proof positive that hers was the right religion!

    Where else, she said, would these poor people ever be accepted but in Jehovah’s organisation. The “World” certainly didn’t want them, did it? But the “Loving environment” (YUK!!!) provided by Jehovah’s people would always attract the less fortunate one’s.

    So there you are. The reason that there are so many nutty people in the Truth is that they were nutty anyway, and the “Loving kindness” (Aaargh!!!) shown to them by loving brothers is what brings them to the Kingdom Hall.

    Now why didn’t I think of that? Silly me.

    Englishman, can you imagine them as future leaders of the WTBS, or even elders?
    My mother is bonkers and good thing she isn't a male,then they'd be in worse straight then they are now.
    Are you a JW English? If so how come your mum talks to you, just wondering.

    Orangepussy,

    UK'ers are a bit mote lax about such things generally. When my Dad died my brother and I paid off some loans he owed to an elder, my Mum told the elder that she wasn't going to shun her sons even if they were apostates.

    They leave her alone, mind you she can be pretty formidable, she does the Telegraph crossword in record time and can think on her feet. She reminds me of HMS Victory going into battle under full sails.

    I have known some wonderful eccentrics in the congs. that I have been in. eg.
    D...... , a lovely man - warm friendly as they come, as long as he kept taking his tablets because he was schitzophrenic and on a bad day, well - anything could happen!

    N.... , an old sister who was,in fact, intelligent but also cracked somehow and got confused, used give us all "Christmas Boxes" at the group study - I didnt have the heart to tell her off.

    I could go on,the list gets longer in my mind. .. But they were all harmless souls who really believed the message. Its the elders you gotta look out for!!

    I have met my share of kooks in the Borg to. My ex brother in law was an elder and thought it was his duty to bring the most dysfunctional people I have ever met home. Makes one wonder that at the time, they had a young family and some of the men he used to bring home I won't have trusted them around a dog let alone small children.

    Also what’s with the sisters?? I have a friend that dated a JW women a year ago. He had only talked to her for a few weeks and already she was ready to get hitched. As it goes, he told her to be patient and get to know one another better for at least 6 months, then they would be in a better postion to decide weather they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. As it goes she was a bossy b**** and want him to change to her idea of a "good JW" ass kisser. She was also very opinionated on how he should raise his children but yet her children were all disfuntional and DF'd at one time or another. Also she had a lot of personal problems that he felt she should deal with first before they decided to get in a relationship. It would have been a few years but she was in such a big hurry. Makes one wonder because she already had two losers of husbands and she told him how she rushed into those marriages. Well he didn't want anything to do with this so they decided to break up after a few months. That was last April or May. I just heard she was already married this last November!! My friend got an email last fall from her and he said he didn't believe that she was really happy. It makes one wonder that she was getting ready for her big day she should have been thrilled and excited about it. Most JW's get married for the wrong reasons. They get married either for sex or for convenience but I put all the blame on the WT and their narrow minded thinking.

    What’s with that?? Are all JW brothers and sisters that insecure about themselves?? One thing I have learned after breaking free from the Borg is to love myself first. That no one person or anything in this world that can bring you true happiness but yourself.

    Will

    Well I always wondered why there were so many 'nuts' in the JW hall...

    I knew so many people on disability.. and they didnt have a limp, if you get my drift.

    One sister who was mildly retarded with scitz would rock back and forth through the whole meeting.. she made me sea sick!
    And they let her get baptized! She could barely take care of herself and eventually married another retarded man. I guess she messed around with him before they got married and was Privately Reproved, or something of that nature. I cant believe it.. she could barely dress herself!
