Text message from a bro at the hall I got this morning as I woke

We miss you, hope to see you soon. Your dad will be wondering where you are at the resurrection. Love, Bro. XXXXXXX

Why do they always have to use dead relatives man.....

Isn't it wonderful, so helpful and encouraging.

I would reply back with something like ... 'thanks for your concern, if you see my dad before I do, tell him hello, thanks'

"Thanks for the attempted emotional manipulation, let me know when you can send me something a bit more loving"

That text requires a two word reply starting with the letters F and Y.

Guilt and manipulation!!!

I remember the ONLY "bible study" I EVER had, with a young girl who was initially contacted by a pioneer sister....

The pioneer sister passed the study along to me, because she was moving out of state, and if I continued the study for a few weeks or something like that, then SHE got 'study credit' or something like that...

I remember that beeyotch pioneer sister was SO insistent that SHE would be able to continue to count the study for the month in which she moved, even though I would be doing the work...

So, I tagged along on a study or two with this beeyotch before she handed the study over to me.

I was horrified and appalled by the techniques I heard this woman use.

It turned out that the young girl's mother had recently passed away, and this - man, there just are no words nasty enough to describe that viper of a pioneer sister, but -that POS pioneer sister was THREATENING the young girl during EVERY STUDY - that I attended - that she would "never see her mother again" unless she CONTINUED the f*cking bible study!!

Talk about emotional extortion!!!! I was sickened by it, and told the sister that I wouldn't be treating the girl that way. The POS pioneer sister got very huffy and insisted that I continue the bullying in the same way that SHE had.

To shut her up, I agreed to treat the girl the same way, but the INSTANT that POS pioneer sister handed the study over to me - solo, I totally dropped the emotional manipulation.

Not surprisingly, within two visits, there was a local "church lady" waiting for me when I showed up at the girl's door, who "drove me out" as though I were one of Satan's demons.

I just walked away; didn't bother arguing with the woman, because from what I'd

observed of that viper of a pioneer sister, I pretty much had to agree with the "church

lady" - I felt like I WAS in league with the devil, being pressured to continue such cold,

calculating and heartless emotional manipulation on that poor girl...

That dayyammed pioneer sister's beady little eyes must have lit up like 4th of July on the day she called at that poor girl's door and found out that her mother had passed away...

Bleah... Still makes me sick to even think about it...

And wouldn't you know it? After the study ended, I heard from the POS pioneer sister - seems my losing the study had messed up her hours for the month and she wouldn't make her goals!!!

Awwwwww.....

"i miss you so much i only thought of txt you after some else asked you last night. I ve already judged you and know you are as godd as dead at the big "a". Im evoking the memory of a dead loved one because its the best guilt trip i can think of in the 5 seconds it took me to wrote this txt. Since i dont really care i dont intend to follow up on this anyway. Have a nice life util someone forces me to think about you again"

Yeah, they are all about the dead relatives. I knew a mother that told her DF'd daughter that she now had to come to terms with the knowledge that her daughter wouldn't be with her in paradise. If it eases the sting at all, consider that they really do beleive that--and they have to live with it everyday.

Luke 6:37 ESV

“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;

I would text that back to him- who made him the judge of who will be at the resurrection!

I've had similar! Emotional blackmail intended or not.

A relly asked me: 'Don't you want to see your Dad again?'

My reply: 'Yes. But just because the watchtower says it'll happen in a certain way doesn't make it true!'

I really wasn't trying to be rude and neither was my relly.............it's the way they're conditioned to protect the WBT$ scam instinctively.
