i would like to know if there are any ex's or formers who still appreciate good manners and respectfulness?

IWant2Know -- I agree many parents fall short teaching manners, respect and need help, however, many do an excellent job. I don't think JWs are better mannered/respectful than others -- many people whether Catholic, Baptist, non-religious, whatever, have manners and are leading honorable, ethical, lives.
There seems to be some serious issues in society today. I can't believe what schools, cities, police, parents, etc., etc., are dealing with.
this young jw lady was shunned by her parents since she was 18 or 19 years old.
she was befriended by the older man that you see in the picture.
perhaps you recognize him?
Thx for info. I've never checked out online. I feel sorry for anyone associated/connected with horrific WT.

Shoot me now - I'd rather be assassinated as be in a WT/JW bunker for the aged/dying.
this morning i decided to log into the local cong meeting on zoom, during the public talk the speaker likened the covid vx to jesus ransom sacrifice, saying that those who didn't avail of the vx, the 'anti vaxxers', are just like people who refuse to put faith in jesus.. i felt sick, knowing my unvxed but active jw parents were sitting there, i logged off immediately.
surely such talk is pure blasphemy or am i just over reacting?!.
i appreciate your thoughts, it will hopefully help me to approach my jw family with facts and logic, i'm praying they wake up fully and 'get out of her', i know they have reservations that's why they refused the vx..
Religions - including WT although God's chosen religion on earth at this time/gag me -- were compensated generously for promoting adherents to follow the gov's recommendations. Since when have religions turned down money -- not happenin'!!

There are many well-mannered JWs and XJWs. A few ill-mannered ones/experiences seem to mar the good in our minds. I'm always impressed with manners/respect displayed by young people -- most parents are doing a good job.

Sea B -- I read this article couple yrs. ago -- it was in a special news reporting paper. Where did you find this info? As I recall, Sarah Kellen was known as the Lieutenant under Ghislaine Maxwell.

WT and society in general needs to have Cotillion, etiquette classes, social-skills workshops, manners class -- something.
in the 70's a bethel elder told me that every morning in the 60's the paint and scaffold crew, (which was located on the 5th floor of building 4) would go up to the roof and walk around the perimeter on top of the ledge, which i doubt was more than 12" wide.
then they'd go render sacred service to jehovah..
NotFormer: "BTW, did Mr Olsen really jump, or did he accidentally fall while proving his bravery, as mentioned at the start of this thread?"
My question, also.
over the years i have shared a few examples of objects i have found while metal detecting near my home in northumberland in ne england.
i live in a rural estate that was the site of a medieval village with a manor house and defensive tower.
many of the things i find illustrate the amazing history of the location.
What a unique property -- recall photo you posted few yrs. ago of the beautiful estate. Your grandchild is going to be thrilled with this historical coin collection someday. I've saved my father's silver dollars but not one of them is of real value except to me. My husband collected silver dollars as a child and I keep telling him to check the dates on them. Seriously doubt he has one of the valuable Nevada gold/silver (both minted/late 1800s gold strike days) but the fond memories of collecting is special.
Ditto BluesBrother's comment. Happy treasure hunting.
