  Why did they have to pick a site with my last name, Patterson?

  Ken P.

  It's named for the town where it is located.

  I don't understand why it won't paste from word? That is ridiculous that you can't copy and paste a word document here.

  Thanks for your help guys! :)

  Wallkill is in a more rural area west of the Hudson River and Patterson is in a more suburban area east of the Hudson River. I haven't driven it, but these locations are a little more than an hour apart. Patterson is along a main road Rt 22 and Wallkill is really near farms. They did spend a lot of time on the landscaping at Patterson even though it?s tacky looking landscape. The buildings at Patterson are so ugly, I'm glad I don't have to pretend it's beautiful anymore.

  The main difference between Patterson and Wallkill is the attitude of the Bethelites. The ones at Patterson really do have sticks up their butts. The ones at Wallkill are usually a little more down to earth, but not that close since they still think they are holier than thou.

  and sent it to the watchtower society.

  the witness was/is a "racist".

  i was told by her that i could not go to the local kingdom hall, or have a copy of the watchtower or awake because i was black.

  and sent it to the Watchtower Society. I wonder what they are going to do, if anything?

  The Witness was/is a "racist". I was told by her that I could not go to the local Kingdom Hall, or have a copy of the Watchtower or Awake because I was Black. And that the Bible was not for Blacks because they were too dumb to understand it.

  I am not a Witness, but had family members who were ones. I "often" do read the Watchtower and Awake articles, and have go to the Kingdom Hall (in other areas) with friends and relatives.

  This is the first time I have had this experience. You usally can't stop them from bringing you "more and more" Watchtowers and Awakes once you have taken one they have offered you.

  Sorry, that happened to you, it must hurt to be treated that way. Is it possible that this person is mentally ill or has a brain tumor? I know someone raised as JW that never even became one. Then when she got a brain tumor she started going around to her neighbors knocking on doors, offering the WT and Awake magazines (she was in her night gown).

  Although, there is prejudice no matter where we go in life, those comments are not consistent with a typical JW. The one thing I?d have to say about the JWs as a whole is that, at least intellectually, they mostly are not racists.

  WT to "donators" take your money back, please

  i had an interesting conversation this weekend with an elderly sister.

  she told me about a letter she received from wt not more than a month ago.

  it seems they had a program in place where they would "hold" money that would be used in the event of your death to pay funeral arrangements.

  I knew a sister that donated $3000.00 to the WT. A couple years her husband, who is not a JW, found out about it and he was very angry. She asked them for the money back and they gave it to her.

  Even JW Children are stupid!

  by PopeOfEruke in

  2. experiences

  my wife is a teacher and she had a class today, where she played a game with the kids.

  one child came forward and stood facing the class with her back to the blackboard.

  another kid wrote "minnie mouse" above her head on the blackboard; the purpose of the game being that she had to guess "who" she was, by asking the class questions.

  I can't post this together because of some error on the board. It won't allow me to post my full comment.
  

  Are you so full of hate that you even direct it at a child? Shame on you!
  

  Actually, she was right, Minnie Mouse is not a girl, Minnie Mouse is a female mouse and a cartoon character. Your wife should have stopped the class from speaking to her in that manner. If I was her mother, I?d have your wife reprimanded for allowing such an outburst. Shame on you both and your wife is stupid if she thinks a Mouse is a girl.
