I agree with JW GoneBad.
These families that you describe REALLY want to be with one another. No judgement, just spending good, quality time together. This cult deguised as a religion ruins families.

37Jehovah's people are the happiest people on earth!
by Coded Logic inso this afternoon my roommate and i decided to go grab some dinner from the local chipotle and, as we live only a short distance from the franchise, we decided it was a good idea to walk.
little did i know that the j-dubs district convention here in sacramento was just getting out (the auditorium is literally smack in the middle of downtown and its attendees have to park in garages scattered a couple blocks away in every direction) so men in cheap suits and women in unflattering dress' were walking all over the place as though someone had antagonized their ungodly ant hill.
and, for sacramento, this of course is the complete opposite of the normative - that is to say, our streets are usually filled with well dressed, immaculately groomed, 'i know exactly where i'm going' government officials that monopolize the state capitol m-f. .

Sister attendants not able to give directions to a brother..Misogyny
by Theburstbubble inat our recent rc i was advised by a sister who was an attendant that they have been advised not to be able to give brothers directions as this should be dealt with by the brothers.
apparently at the pre-convention attendants meeting, the sisters were asked to stay behind.
this was when they were given the news that the brothers should deal with brothers.

I was counselled after on of my talks, that I can not teach from the platform. WTF? My question is, how come you can not teach from the platform by can go out in field serve us and teach? Crazy! -

Just wait until there are NO brothers left. It's great to see they are using Sisters. This means they don't have enough brothers. The smart ones are leaving.
This is just the same ole JW thinking...JW women = second class citizens.

Oh yes...there are more JW's taking from the Government. We have family members doing this as we speak. We have watched many a JW take from the government (all in the name of Jehovah) and also mooch off of any available person they can (a free place to stay, a free meal or two or three or four,etc, or a green hand shake) . These desperate JW's are great "suck ups." -

You have to be strong
by troubled mind instanding up for yourself,and deciding to follow your own path takes strength .
you have to be strong especially if you were raised in a way of life that dictated so much of who you were .
while being raised as a jehovah's witness i was taught to follow ,unquestionally follow .i was told to put others before myself ,serve,don't stand out ,don't be independent .

"Years ago I had a therapist try to get through to me that I am not responsible for other peoples feelings ,and I could just never comprehend what he was trying to teach me."
This is a great post. I am glad it was bumped from 9 months ago. This expression above reminds me of a quote by Oscar Wilde, "Be yourself, everyone else is already taken."
I have come to the conclusion that I really don't care what others think about me. I am comfortable in my own skin. I don't need anyone's admiration. I am a good person and don't need anyone pissing on my parade.
The JW's are conditioned and thrive off of your demise. I truly believe they enjoy the gossip ("I hear they are no longer attending the Meetings/service/assemblies. They have left Jehovah." They enjoy every second of it and if they could stone you, like in Bible times, they would.
Like our wonderful Doc says on here, "the best revenge is living a happy and successful life." I love that one Doc...you're the best!
