I generally enjoy most people. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. I am not a hateful person. However, there was one Circuit Overseer that I had the intense displeasure of knowing. He was the biggest backstabber and Society man on the earth. He would have disfellowshipped his own mother if he could. One time I saw him at a District Convention at the top of the stairs. At that point I had to make myself not push him down "accidently". Of course, I know this is not a good thing to do,but, I really had to fight hatred for this man.........Phew...That was cleansing! ...........Was there ever a person or persons that you actually felt hatred for?
Did YOU Ever HATE Anybody???????

Theres a particular Dub Woman that I hate. Just cant help it. Even though Ive been out of the org 20 years I still cross her path because im friendly with one of her sons who is an ex dub. He has children now, so Im influencing her grandchildren. I hope this makes her angry and frustrated. I want her to suffer. Dont know why I have this irrational hatred of this woman, perhaps its because she stopped me entering her house once. But i had my revenge there because I shifted all her sons gear out of that house eventually when he moved out of home. She wasnt happy about that and called me a "punk". Shes a judgemental, evil bitch, dont worry about that. One of my greatest pleasures recently was when the son showed me correspondences between himself, his sister (still in the truth) and the parents. Even her own kids dont want a bar of her. The son (my friend) is a highly successful business man, worth about 4 mill, I reckon thats successful. He lives in a very nice place in a pricy suburb. Anyway, the parents came to visit (first time in about 3 years. He showed me the letter his father wrote him after they left. The father criticized the accomodation, mainly, the bedroom was referred to as "a barracks", and the television screen was "too small" , they couldnt see it properly. Why couldnt he provide appropriate lodgings for his parents? Didnt he know that he had a sons duty, Biblically, to cater to his parents needs and wants in their dottage? etc. true. You wouldnt BELIEVE these people. They SUCK that badly.

Not really, but I was on the receiving end. Ther Presiding Overseer, hated me with a passion. Told me, "I'll get you if it's the last thing I do." Another "JW" prophecy unfulfilled. He's dead now!

There was one person I hated, but now I just feel pity for her. She's a sick and manipulative woman, and I think what goes around comes around. She'll get hers in due time.

I've had moments when I've said " I hate so and so!" but really, it's what they are doing or not doing that I actually hate, not the person.
I'm not a hateful person. Hate is a poisonous and destructive form of anger. I don't have the energy or will to hold onto or breed that state of mind.
Unfortuneately, some people are unwilling to deal with their anger which lets hate grow in all its incidious ways, and they end up abusing others - innocent bystanders who end up being scapegoats.
After all my father has done to me and my mother - I don't hate him. I get really angry about the fall out of what he's done and not done, but I deal with it by punching the shit out of a heavy bag, walking, writing poetry and sketching my emotions. I also cry and have the odd nervous breakdown. Most importantly, I've channeled the energy into changing the viscious cycle to make life better for my own children, and for myself, as well as helping others due to the fact that I understand the emotions involved.
I remember growing up and listening about my brother's accident. In my eyes - it was no accident because the driver of the streetcleaner that dragged and ran him over in front of me, was hungover. I was hateful at the driver, who had a heart attack when someone told him he was dragging a child. Mom and I were there watching while Craig (5yrs old, and I was 3) laid in a heap and the medics helping the driver. I swore that I would find that man when I was old enough and kill him. I was serious. It wasn't until I was about 14 that I realized that this man was so upset he had a heart attack, and lived, with the memory of what he had done. There is no greater punishment. It no doubt ruined his life, as he was a man who cared. I now feel great pity for him and his family. If he is still alive, he would be in his 80s or 90s. I wish I could've searched him out earlier - but not to kill him - to tell him I forgive him, and hug him.

Yes. My father-in-law, for what he did to my husband and how he treated him when confronted with his actions. I'm sure he'd be relieved to know that my desire to shoot him in the balls and watch him bleed to death, slowly, has settled into mere contempt for his continued existence. However, if he ever comes near our children, all bets are off.

Yes. There was someone I truly wished a horrible death on. I was younger and IMO, if you knew the whole story you might hate this person too. As I got older the hate, did simmer down , a tad, the hate is still there but the passionate hate is not. I no longer fantazise about ways to off this person. I don't say I hate many people , just this one.
But since I was younger, there is another added to my hate list, but the hate is twisted because it is not the same kind of hate,,,,,,,,, it is hate with hurt . The hate I have for this person, plays tricks on my heart and I don't know how to deal with it. I am really a forgiving person, and this person seems to wish that I would disappear , quietly. How do you deal with hate and love at the same time. I guess you all know this is a family member, I am speaking of. The things this person has done is so much worse than the other person I hated for so long. I never loved the other person at all. The person I have all of this hurt towards, I thought loved me , at least in their own heart. But I was wrong. I guess like some say,,,,,,,,,,,,, they will get what is coming to them........ but what good will that do,,,,,,,,,,,,, this person in my life will probably never change and will go to their death bed, pushing me away. I believe if there is an afterlife, they will have to answer for what they have done, but what if there is no afterlife? Then some of us will never see those who hurt us pay for their cruelty. But really,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I am trying to move on.......... this is still a fresh wound for me.
I try not to let the hate, the pain, the sadness consume me,,,,,,,, but still sometimes it creeps up and I lose my ability to push it away. Maybe that is a good thing, cry over it , get mad and then go about your life. It is the only solution for me right now............. Peace,,,,,,,, Dede
