    It's too bad they want to be part of that nonsense again, he should have told the elder, "bite me."

    I would have been like, "Then the last thing I'll say to you Brother EldAss as I'm heading out the door is, F*ck You, and Good-bye!"

    I tell ya, you can really feel the warm gooey Christian love oozing from these Pharisees, can't ya? UGH.

    The worst part is if he said what he should....being...

    "huh? I just thanked someone for opening the door for me. How is that in violation of the bible?"

    The elder's words accurately capture the JW literal-minded mentality - a mentality endemic in the organization that creates many if not most, of the interpersonal problems in congregstions in the first place.

    The dilemma for those who believe it is "still" the truth despite that mentality is between being authentic, decent human beings and behaving like unthinking "slaves" to earn the elders' approval.

    Thank goodness TTATT rescues people from that dilemma - although I get that some might feel the need to return for family reasons.
