wow, that is gross! How did u put up with that? Because we had a problem publisher who smelled like urine. I had to have her moved to a folding chair because my couch was beginning to smell like her. She also had a million cats and when I started having allergies in my own home from her, I had her moved out to a different BS.
We've had several other publishers, sisters and brothers, who weren't familiar with antiperspirant. Nice during triple digit heat and in a small cramp living room
We had a chubby sister that spelled like Elephant bum ( a name my kids invented, when they met her) She came to our BK, in our car for FS, and tried to sit with us at the KH.
She had a memory, like an elephant, too.
One family in our hall was well known for being (very friendly, hospitable and active in the Hall ) but filthy. Everyone knew to identify and avoid any dish they brought to a congregation pot luck.
Here's a few examples from my files:
I am curious b/c someone I knew, a professional, smelled like crazy. No one ever said anything to him. I certainly did not. When I don't shower, I can smell myself and it is not Chanel No. 5. Do you think their olfactory sense is less? I also heard of a psych resident being so smelly that the staff gifted him with antipersperant. He never bathed. How do these people keep jobs? I would not know what to do if I had such an employee.
EWZ: Euwwwwww that was disgusting
BOTR: At our place of work, we have a Scent free policy. Wish that applied to body odor.
WH: We all know someone like that. But, gotta show them lot's of love. Hope you hugged that person.
TS: You finally told them about me.,,,,,,just kidding, just kidding
We had a few genuine Tabacco Road white-trash Witness families in one KH I went to in the 60s. Nice tract of homes all well kept and there sits a car parked on the front (dead) lawn of the Witness home. The next door neighbor had a great garden, liked Roses, and a well kept lawn. You can imagine the choice words he had for us when we stopped by out in Service #$%^&**

During a Watchtower study about JW's striving to set a fine example in the community, a brother (also a janitor) who's home was far from exemplary commented on how our vehicles in service should bring honor to our work by being clean and in good repair and our homes should set an example in the neighborhood and reflect Jehovah's fine standards. A young brother in front of me who lived near them, leaned over and said to another young brother quite loudly "What's HE talking about.... his front yard looks like a cow pasture ? " Lots of snickers could be heard.
I guess these folks just don't see themselves as untidy, are in denial or else they are just plain hypocrites.
Venue for our Tuesday group study: small, ramshackle house, Catholic-sized family, back yard a car and motorbike graveyard, dozens of snotty, flea-ridden cats and kittens roaming around, a bathroom reeking of stale guy-urine. They were a hospitable bunch and always gave us cups of tea and coffee after the study. We survived. We must have built up a formidable immune system :-)
The second to the oldest daughter mentioned in a group conversation that she was puzzled as to why their dog ate the crotch out of her new jeans. everyone just looked away. A short time later she was hospitalized for toxic shock syndrome. Turns out she didn't know about needing to change tampons during her cycle (sorry if this is too much information)
OMG, that is so awful!
OMG, that is so awful!
Yeah.....poor dog.
Think About It
