a good friend who is a police officer told me last night that he believes a lot of the jw's he has met through the years in his line of work are extremely self-righteous.

i didn't have much of a reply but it did get me thinking about what he said.

so, what do you guys think?

Yes, the JW's are the most self righteous people I've ever met, and they also have the least justification for their attitude. They boast about their honesty, yet they are experts at beating the tax man. (until I turned one of them in). They're also very accomplished at defrauding less popular ones in the congregation. I was cheated out of several thousand dollars but I had to eat the loss because the "brother" that did it was a MS who employed many pioneers™, but I was nothing. The elders refused to even hear about it. And, of course, you're not allowed to take a brother™ to court.

Ever ask an elder a question that could put him or the society on the spot? Were you even allowed to finish the question, or even a single sentence without interruption? NO! The pompous blowhard who's in love with the sound of his own voice will give you an answer, or shout you down, before you have a chance to say anything. This tactic is often employed by stupid people, which is what the majority of elders are.

Their doctrines are lies. They protect child molesters. They condemn the UN as a tool of Satan but align themselves with it anyways.

They read their bibles for years, even decades, yet after all that reading and studying still have no clue of what is right or wrong unless it's spoon fed to them by their whorish mother watchtower.

i thought this would be a fun and mentally healthy question to ponder!

i feel better already just to think of this possibility!

for me, before giving away alot of it to charities i would first buy a couple of gorgeous houses strategically set in beautiful surroundings where i could travel throughout the year and avoid harsh winter temperatures.

Well, I am a believer in God. It insults me every time I hear it, it is so *unbelievably* arrogant.

This in itself would make an excellent topic. I'm ashamed at the way I used to treat my father simply because he didn't accept the Watchtower's interpretations of scripture - though he too was a believer in God. I really wish he lived long enough to see me make my exit.

All the money in the world???

I would take over the pulp and paper industry globally, and refuse to sell any paper to the Watchtower Society, its affiliates, or members. I'd do the same with the automotive and oil industries. I'd buy up all law enforcement agencies to enforce my righteous decrees.

Then I'd get a tummy tuck.

Something romantic, something different, something relatively INEXPENSIVE...

Without exception, the best dates of my life were always at home, usually upstairs. They were romantic, free, and there were many different things that could be done.

For the past year I've been living alone for the first time. It was pretty depressing at first, but now I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm free to come and go as I please. I eat when I want, and cook what I want. And I no longer have anyone getting on my case for eating a lousy peanut butter sandwich in the evening. I've got 2 turtles, a cockateil, and a cockatoo as pets. They're great companions. (Tip - if you get a large bird like a cockatoo or other parrot, they require a LOT of attention and love. Don't get one if you don't have much time to spend with it. And they have a very long lifespan, so think long term. Research before getting a large bird is very important.)

I was pretty isolated as a JW, as I didn't have any friends, so now I'm quite comfortable being alone. My biggest challenge is getting my ass out of the house and forcing myself to interact with people.
