When reading his book you should be listening to Pat Boone's song, "Friendly Persuasion."
I've been a business person for over thirty years, selling is part of the business. I can relate to his experience, except, I have my methods.
The art of persuasion can be very deceptive.

Low-Key, that's self-improvement? My impression was always self-improving before entering the New System so we can contribute to a better world! Has that changed?

Do you have a "Confidante"?
by JH in.
do you have a person, thats very close to you that you can reveal almost anything, your joys pains, just about anything to?.
or, do you keep all your worries inside and deal with every emotion you have by yourself?.

Since jumping out of the box when I was a teeneager I've become my own advisor, decision maker. My association with older folks gave me a good back-ground to believe in myself. As to telling deep inner secrets, nope, I love suspense and mystery. My wife is still my best friend.

Why would a current JW choose to be rude and offensive?
by AlmostAtheist ini've recently had lengthy pm discussions with a person claiming to be a current jw.
this person has been above the standard level of arrogant for a jw, raising conceit to practically a defining characteristic.
you almost expect that when you're dealing with a member of the "elite".. but he goes beyond it.

AA, consider yourself lucky, at least you get to talk to him/them, not me.
For me, I would let the person talk himself out and then thank him for his thoughts. Since he was 'insulting' to the Mrs, well, that's a horse of a different color. I had an experience a few years back with a well known poster, he had made some 'demeaning' remarks about my wife. He would have never said such things about my wife in my presence.
This elder reminds me of some arrogant s.o.b. golf professionals. You'll always find people of this nature in all walks of life. First of all, this elder is not a Bible Character and secondly, I don't recall Jesus ever speaking to any of his disciples in that manner. He's a witness not a Christian.
As you say, he's arrogant.

Crumpet, yes its' about recovery. Women are stronger emotionally, does this mean they would recover from abuse much quicker than a male? Recovery from 'any' abuse is not going to be 100% but it certainly gives us a goal to shoot at.
I remember reading a story about a young man (not a JW) who survived from a wicked abuse. The odds of recovery was against him, but he did overcome the odds. His determination and will made it all possible. He didn't linger and dwell on all the evil that was done to him. Today, this man is a succesful business man.
Greendawn, "...spiritual dictatorship and emotional terrorism..." well put!
A Harley, this is what this org does not recognize, we're all different. One size shoe does not fit everyone. Yeah, they want us to stay in 'their' wt-box.
