RUN RUN RUN! last people on the face of the earth i care to spend any time with especially the ones in sales (commissions) at stores. if they sneak up on me i kill them with kindness.
their rulers at watchtower would be shocked to know their followers' priority is their commission/paycheck and not them. have only had one shunning experience from a witness sales crook --- would love to tell store manager all about but what would Jesus do!

I feel very sad. Most JWs I know are sincere people who truly believe they have found the one, true Christian faith and want to share it with others. Most of them have no idea the harm that the WT leaders are doing to them and to their families.
It's hard to put up with the arrogant condescension many JWs display, but then I remember what it was like to think like they do.
When I see them out in service or going in and out of the Kingdom Hall, it reminds me of those photos of the passengers walking along the deck of the Titanic. I want to help them, but most of them don't want my help. Most of them don't want ANYONE's help. Even as their ship is going down, they remain convinced that it is the only one that is unsinkable.

I feel saddened that people continue to be bullied into a life of submission from the HQ. When they come to my door I attempt to be as polite as I can, while excusing myself to other important business. I was once one of them, and hopefully they at one point or another will join me in getting out of that religion.

All of a sudden, my spidey senses started tingling and my mood went south. He asked me what was wrong and I really didn't know! About 10 seconds later, we drove past a building with a large parking lot. I didn't see ANY signage because we drove by so fast... Mind you, there's a church on every corner out here in the buckle of the Bible Belt, but I just got an eerie feeling and I told him "Babe? Go back... I bet you ANYTHING that was a Kingdom Hall!" Sure enough, the sign was back a bit from the road, and it wasn't a style of hall I'd ever seen before, but it WAS a Kingdom Hall!
You sensed the evil! Trust me there is evil that surrounds that organisation and all it's followers! I can't be in a room with any dubbies it makes me really poorly...

I feel sorry for them. They don't look unhappy to me, but they are so utterly clueless, and wasting their lives. And I remember the times that I was doing exactly what I see them doing, and I WAS unhappy. I'm so glad to have a life now, and to have been able to fulfill myself in whatever ways I could after a wasted childhood and young adulthood.

LOL watersprout, I think so too! It's so strange because I feel them before I see them! The hair on the back of my neck stands up and I get that nervousness in the pit of my stomach. I really do think it's negative energy that surrounds the organization and the places they meet.

So far I have been able to avoid them because I see them comining and I turn the other direction. Seen one at the grocery store yesterday in an isle I was about to go down and seen her just in time, seen an elder going into a store and I drove by did a different erand and come back when he was gone. Had a couple come to my door a little while ago and I did not answer the door, they come to my back door too and I still did not answer. They were not elders, the elders would not look at me before I left and pretty sure they know I am mad at them and could stump them all together. I would not hurt the two that come to my door but I hope to never talk to a JW again. I love them actually but they trigger my PTSD and I don't want to hurt them.
