A rose by any other name..............
by sparrowdown ini'm curious, why and how did you choose your username?.
does it hold any special significance for you, is there a share-able back story?.
for me sparrowdown is a playful reference to matt 10:29 and the title of the movie black hawk down.. matt 10:29 was my go-to scrip to "prove" that god cares about us as individuals.

To infinity and beyond!
I know it is Buzz Lightyear's catchcry but it is very apt for TTATTers.

Here, here RB!
This cult has no real power over anyone, only the illusion of power.
People are hoodwinked into believing they are as good as dead
if they leave, that is a wicked lie.
Yes, it tests out friendships, loves and loyalties to leave,
but any who really care about you may just follow you out the door.

I loathe authority
by punkofnice innow i'm not preaching hatred here i am just expressing how i've felt for years even when i was a jw.. i totally loathe the police/policticians...any authority......anyone that is over anyone else.
i have a total hatred of them all.
i wonder if it's because i was raised a jw?.

I accept that to enjoy relative freedoms within a democracy we need authorities.
But I hate it when people abuse their relative authority.
Sometimes it's the ones with the least authority that can be the worst abusers of it.
There's no tyranny like petty tyranny.

Witnesses are like a "typical male"... Always trying to "fix" things or "solve" everything.
by stuckinarut2 inwe all know the cliche that "men never really listen or sympathise, they just try to solve or fix things"?.
often people just need to vent or discuss issues..."get them off their chest".
i have noticed that jws are just like a thoughtless cliched man..... when speaking with people in the community, they don't really listen, they just look for a way to solve the issue!.

I see this basic lack of genuine empathy amongst JWs as one of the main
causes of depression in the cong.
It actually goes deeper than lack of real empathy because if someone at
the door or in the cong is'nt happy or having problems then they must have a
spiritual deficiency of some kind. Or in the case of a householder
then they have brought their problems on themselves because of ignoring God
and not applying bible principles.There is no consideration given to someone's
circumstances or background or the fact that shit just happens!
It's all straight from The Trite, Pat, Condescending Answers Playbook
gems such as
"put the kingdom first and everything will fall into place"
"leave it in Jehovah's hands"
Nothing of any practical value to anyone with real problems.

and what happened at the field service meetings.

The field service support has been in steady decine for years.
Just desprate people finding ways to cope with an impossible to please organization.
