i'm sick and tired of everyone claiming to be "offended".
if you are not politically correct, you will need to apologize for some perceived slight.. when i was an elder, i purposely avoided as much as i could, anybody that got easily offended.
.
Rebel-I had to look up 'Gollywog'. It reminds me of a Raggedy Ann doll, except she has red hair. I'm offended that no one has been offended for red-heads who are offensively represented by a stylized red yarn-haired doll.
I used to date a redhead.
No hair, just a red head.
i am not sure if it's true but i heard from a good source that wt has given instructions to elders to postponed disfellowshipping members from wrong doing/gross sin until further instructions given by headquarters.
i heard some jws were just reproved either privately or publically.
has anyone else heard anything like this recently?
so many serious topics lately ... so for anyone who wants a break, it's trivia time and the subject is pop music.. which act is the only one to have a top 100 hit both before, during and after the beatles had theirs?.
no googling.
if you guess, you also need to add a trivia question for others to answer..
Try this. See if you recognise the lead singer who appears in a certain popular TV drama series..
some fascinating results in the latest pew research.
(how did i miss this before?
) including that jws rely on their religion the most of any group to tell right from wrong and rely on common sense the least.
information just passed to me.
let's hope this becomes even more widespread.
i wonder if the britain branch suspects a conspiracy?
I was fired from my elder's position.
Something to do with loving my neighbour..
But that was a LONG time ago.
i know we are all anonymous for our own personal reasons, so i understand if you would rather not say.
but if you don't mind sharing that would be cool.
i currently live in georgia, usa.
I'm not telling you where I come from, but here's a tiny clue:
very interesting article on the psychology of sexual abstinence and the effects it can have on sex life after marriage.
it focusses on an evangelical group for single men called "the river" but the attitudes will be familiar to born-in jws.. ___________________________.
..respondents had been told, since they were young, that women were nonsexual.
i remember a good friend when i was in and active who was d'fd.
when he started coming back, for me at that time is was gut-wrenching not to say 'hello' or at the very least encourage him to continue.
i thought even at this time, does this act of shunning really effective?
so this is just so nauseating to me when she noddes her head in agreement and in a low voice or sound does a "mmm uh" in agrrement.
but here is the deal, she never aswers at the meetings.
she doesn't go out in service often.
It's all about "The McCabe Nod".
Look:
The ‘McCabe Nod’ is a tool that is utilised amongst face to face sales professionals when illustrating the benefits or advantages of their products or services and making closing statements. It’s something that the best sales people do very well and has similar grounding to mirror and matching skills.
The effects of the nodding are quite easily demonstrated when you ask someone to nod and say no and shake your head and say yes, without thinking about it first!! It feels uncomfortable to shake your head when nodding. Even that paragraph is confusing.
A perfect and interesting example is when you watch politicians speak to the media; they more often than not have a number of their constituents or party members behind them nodding with the proposed policy changes, amendments or general views. It makes the viewers feel more comfortable about what is being said, as it is subconsciously viewed as a positive mannerism.
When I am talk to a large group of sales people and have gone through the process of identifying the triggers for what is being presented, a statement such as ‘I am sure you can see the advantages of this specific product or service can’t you? and it does meet your current needs for what we have been discussing doesn’t it? All while in the meantime nodding , then as I am finishing this up, motion to look at each other! and the majority of the room are nodding. If your group aren’t doing a lot of nodding, then as a manager it can be a sign that your message is not getting through.
Getting a prospect or potential customer nodding and making those small gestures is important when attempting to make a sale. If this is not happening, then you haven’t made enough impact, built the repour or the need, or simply haven’t got the prospect's confidence yet, and a sign that more leg work needs to be done before trial closing.
It’s much easier to close the business with a prospect who is openly agreeing with your presentation points than desperately try throw out some features or benefits that might catch their interest.
Very much like selling to someone with their arms crossed! Until they open up to suggestion Understanding and practicing to nod when you yourself make an important statement, makes the sales process easier for you, and the journey for the potential customer or prospect much more comfortable.
Use it when suggestive selling, or even when you are on the phone.... Nodding like smiling does impact the feel across a phone conversation, while also demonstrating confidence and professionalism.

ive been lurking for a while and finally got around to registering.
about me: i was essentially born in & indoctrinated from youth.
i was always a borderline "bad association" type because i always did the minimum and always disagreed with much of what was taught; even when i was a child.. luckily for me my father was never a jw so i never had to endure the male head pressure.
