Why is it when someone posts a valid question someone come along and "high-jacks" the thread and so many follow? I would like to hear more responses to the original question...please. Agnes

51Why DOESN'T Ray Franz post here?
by AlmostAtheist insilly question.
he wrote the best known ex-jw book.
the title is even known among faithful dubs.. it's hard to imagine that he's not interested in the topic.

management stress
by littlerockguy inthis is going to sound like a sexist thread but why is it so hard for some women to come in go to their desk, do their job and leave in the evening?
i have one who cannot stay off the phone, always some drama going on disrupting others and is just an overall troublemaking bitch!
yesterday she threatened to quit and i just looked at her and didn't say anything; even though i felt like cutting loose on her and telling her what i thought of her.

For the same reason it is hard for some men to do the same. Sounds like the person who is doing the hiring doesn't read people very well. Agnes

Jen, I don't know anything about your situation, but I wish you well and hope you have some type of support system. I totally agree with Gary, don't reward them if they do decide to start the shunning. When I first learned about this evil practice of shunning loved one, it disturbed me so much that I couldn't sleep. Agnes

Re: they also said that the Dubs are the "happiest people on earth", which carries more bullshit than a farm in Oklahoma.......
Happiest people on earth...rubbish! So true Mary! The last time we had JW relatives visit I was shocked to see such miserably unhappy looking people! Two of them shared that they were self medicating to deal with stress and assumed I'd be interested in using what they were taking. I'm not a JW and I don't have to medicate to be happy. Agnes

Did you ever have to change phone number because of the JW's?
by JH in.
often, i changed phone number in the past, so that they wouldn't bother me.
i remember being active and going to the meetings, but i still wanted none of them to have my phone number, knowing i would one day be inactive.. how about you, ever change phone number because of them?.

GIVE A GOOD WITNESS---------------
by vitty in"give a good witness" today i made an effort to wave to my neighbour, not because i particularly wanted to or like him, but had a feeling i needed to "prove how nice i was or to give a good witness" .
habits die hard, this follows on from the guilt thread.
i still feel that *i put on a front, i cant be myself, in case i do or say something that could bring reproach, what the hell on i dont know i havent been to a meeting for over a year no one here knows i was a witness.

Would you go to a funeral at the Kingdom Hall?
by Dustin inso my brother and i have been having talks about what will happen when our dad passes away eventually.
most of his brothers and sisters have died in their 50's or early 60's.
i flat out refuse to attend any part of the service that would be done at the kingdom hall.

I would not. I saw a video of a funeral taken at a Kingdom Hall and was so disappointed that the wonderful person that had died had not been eulogized the way this person deserved to be. It was cold, boring, and not about the deceased. I would have a personal memorial service with people that cared about the person and remember them properly. Agnes
