My mother-in-law has been a JW for about 50+ years and it seems she is most animated and gleeful when verbally ripping apart others behind their backs. She and her "sisters" just sit around and have a gossip-fest every other day. Listening to them you'd think they were back in the high school lunchroom!
They talk viciously about non-JWs and the JWs in their cong so no one really escapes their nasty comments (I know my husband and I are being discussed as well since we are both "demonized heathens") I often wonder how such "good Christians" can actually think this is acceptable behaviour. What gives them the right to be so arrogant and judgemental?! Do they really have to put others down in order to feel better about themselves?
The thing that irks me the most is that they laugh their heads off at other people's religious (or non-religious) beliefs but yet they demand the utmost respect for their own beliefs. It's absurd! The "truth"....the truth is that they are a bunch of back-stabbing insecure fools!
There! I vented too!! Now I feel better! astro_girl
