i can never understand why some people simply stink.they don’t smell themselves??
i knew of certain jws that had to be counseled many times because they refused to regularly bathe, wash their hair or use deodorant.
and it’s not just witnesses.
For my job I travel a lot. There was a flight once with a man so smelly the passengers were all putting peppermint oil under their nose to make the stench bearable. It was the most awful flight experience. He was a white guy with dreadlocks and apparently a habit of not bathing.
As far as at the KH I think most of the problem came from people not dry cleaning their clothes often enough. I used to just wash my dry clean only clothes on hand wash with Woolite.
just was thinking how some powerful quotes, remarks, sayings hit the mark with me and how much it enriched/ enhamced/influences my life.

reality is that which when you no longer believe in it , does not go away.. “the truth is a battle of perceptions.
Pay yourself first.
i'm making plans for next weekend and my wife says she's not available saturday.
"is there an assembly?
" i asked.. no, disaster preparedness course (or something like that) at the kingdom hall.. is this new?
jehovah’s witnesses were drilled with the idea that all governments are from satan and that we should have nothing to do with anything involving support of the government, voting, or political talk for one party or another.. now that you are out, is patriotism important to you?
is voting important to you?
are you supportive of your country?.
Yes - I am so thankful to live in the USA where I have every right, every freedom, every possibility as person could have.
To me it’s not about politics or any of that stuff, it’s about being thankful for my freedom.
i hate it when people beat around the bush before coming to the point.
so, i composed the following letter for letter-writing jws who like to cut-to-the-chase, as it were.
feel free to add your own points in the comments below.. “dear neighbor:.
Dear Neighbor:
Convert to our religion or God will kill you.
Love Never Fails,

anyone any idea if there have been any repercussions over whiskygate and if anthony morris was ushered into the backroom after a meeting?
i am pretty sure if this had been a member of the r&f and the video was all over the internet, something would have been said about being careful not to bring jah's organization into disrepute.
i am sure the local elders in the congregation he is assigned to wouldn't have the balls to do it and there would have to be a mole pretty high up to find out if the gb got involved.. we can but speculate i guess..
They won’t even hold pedophiles accountable and you think they are going to do something about buying whiskey?
Also, he is at a level that nothing would ever happen to him anyway, to think otherwise is delusional.
i have a few and built two 80% lowers.
just got a larue two stage trigger.
i can get 2moa out of it at 100 yards with a nikon 223 scope.
Nobody who is an ethical hunter shoots a deer 5 times and doesn’t kill it. Then to not track it and finish what you started is disgusting.
it could be argued that exjws have issues in life simply because they were jehovah’s witnesses at a point in their lives.
.
do you think you or we are fairly normal considering we were jehovah’s witnesses or do you think we have a lot of baggage because we are a bit messed up ( even if we don’t even know it)?.
No - I too, am over that part now. Happiness is a choice I make everyday. I choose how I want to react to any given situation or remark, I choose if I want to let things bother me or not.
Once I realized I could choose to not be bothered by all things JW - life got better.
I choose to love others, love myself, forgive my parents who joined this cult, forgive myself, but I also choose to not be a doormat for my pimi siblings who are rotten.
when i converted in 1961 ,the po and his assistant who by the way was his fleshly brother were both life insurance salesmen , { i know ,why didn`t red flags show up then }.
and the 4 different congregations we attended over the next 10 years in vic,aust,the majority of the brothers had jobs to go to.. we then went to s.e.
qld,for the next 37 years and the majority of the brothers their were self employed one way or another in the building game ,either as plasterers ,actual builders ,tilers , and painters ,electricians , as well as everyday jobs.. my son worked for an elder who owned his own cabinet making business.
I was a single sister, lived at home, and worked a full time job. No one gave me a hard time and I was still asked to participate in the administration dept at assemblies and quickbuilds. That was more than 20 years ago so maybe it’s changed.
