JW Threatened me with Violence Today :)

by cofty in

i popped into the supermarket for a few things after work today and found myself walking up an aisle alongside a couple who used to be in my tuesday group.

i see them reasonably often and always say hello much to their obvious annoyance.

i noticed that ian was sporting a shaggy beard.

I know in my area apostate alerts travel fast, so you could be right about them being annoyed.

I find it interesting how all it takes is just a simple question or even a greeting can set them off, and you get to meet the real them - the one with teeth, ready to commit violence because you are the enemy "apostate."

If I see one in the supermarket now, they act like I should be apologizing for breathing it takes all my resolve and confidence to remain unaffected. So well done for how you handled it.

JWs teach their children that Satan is real and that he is watching us. How can that not affect a little mind.

Green sweater is obviously a ring-leader.

But if I had to spend a thousand years with the JWs I'd be pretty pissed too.

That they are the most clean-cut, well dressed rebels with a penchant for headbands that I have ever seen.

I ve seen scarier people at the post Christmas sales!
