"Smooth talk ...flattering speech...pretend to care"
Sounds like instructions for how to talk to someone in field service.

You may PRETEND to care - in reality you are SELFISH!
by wannabefree inthat;s what my wife (and all jw's) gets to hear about us at the kingdom hall today, (hmmmm, i wonder if she'll raise her hand to answer this one) ... .
watchtower study ... today, apostates and others who create divisions in the congregation use “smooth talk and flattering speech.” (romans 16:17, 18) they may pretend to care about others, but in reality, they are selfish.. (the watchtower - study edition (simplified version) 10/17 page 4 paragraph 7).

Hmmm, the good ole days huh...
Actually after giving it some thought I don't really yearn anything, I really am more of a here and now type of girl.

So my PIMO Younger Brother Tried To Kill Himself Today
by pale.emperor inwe all know that this cult will drive those trying to leave to desperate measures, and today by brother was very nearly one of those statistics.
he slashed his thigh with a kitchen knife and was bleeding out until he called the police.. i got a call on my way home from work from a police officer, coincidentally it was one of my old friends from school who's now a cop.
he told me my brother is in hospital after an attempted suicide and has lost some blood but will be ok. but i should get to the hospital as he's asking for me.

Sorry your brother is suffering because of this cult's mind-fuckery. It must be difficult to stand by and watch. He needs at least one person in his life right now that is in touch with reality - that person be you.
Be strong for both of you and don't let the culty elders insert a wedge - your brothers mental health depends upon it.

Pomo - phew so glad you haven't made any rules about it.
Also define "harassing" just so I know which one I 'm not supposed to do when I encounter the cart people from my town that have positioned themselves so conveniently for in your face recruitment purposes.
1) beside an ATM - so subtle
2)smack dab in the middle of a walking/cycling track complete with folding chairs - did I mention on the track - so considerate
3)in the centre of the eating area of the outdoor mall - so appetite spoiling.

Jehovahs Witnesses – Does the Sect’s name really mean for what it is ?
by EverApostate inthe term jehovah’s witnesses sounded weird to me even when i was in that cult.
why does god need witnesses to prove his existence?
there is no need for anyone to create a movement called “suns witnesses” or “moons witnesses” – in order to prove its existence and glorify it, because the sun and moon are evident to every species on earth.

Tor1500- "Men are just men...just basic humans..."
You got that part right... basic as f**************ck... Lol. Now calm down everyone just kidding!
Though I will say it seems to me that if they were to call out every man that has spoken crudely, leered at someone creepily or been "handsy" uninvited there would be no entertainment industry left.
What you gotta remember is many young men get sexually harrassed and assualted by predatorial types also but men are less likey to report.
FYI For anyone who wants to downvote - I'm NOT minimizing the impact on women and girls after all I am one and have experienced sexual harrasment and assault first hand #me too.
I just see sexual pests and bullies as a problem for both sexes.
