How do I get my "lesbian" co-worker to stop discussing her lifestyle?

by booker-t in

i work with a young woman in her mid-thirties that is openly lesbian.

we have been friends for about 10 years when she first started working at the company.

i was crazy about her before she came out as "gay" and i still have a good time working with her.

How many 'real" friends did you ever really have in ther "truth'

sure we got to know a lot of people, we knew a lot more people then the average person, but how many real friends did we ever have?

a friend that we could trust, that we could confine in.

i can say i had just one, bro x and even then i still had to be careful, bro x is an elder now and he tells me that im the only real friend hes ever had, he cant freely talk to anyone.

Two. I've known one since I was very young (he stop going to meeting a few years and we agree about the fake WTS) and another who is an Elder and while he agrees with me 75% of the time regarding the WTS but, his social and family life revolves around the Dub's. Funny thing is about this Elder is that when he and I are in alone he is very negitive about the WTS and the fake people in the Cong's however, he would never leave.

you know how on the last day of a district assembly the chairman always give these great experiences about how the dubs that attended the assembly had great spiritual experiences while at dinner or at the hotel.

well, hears one you will not hear.

for about five straight years, a friend of mine (whose father was a jerk elder who thought anybody who drank should be df) would leave the assembly at lunchtime each day, go to a bar near the convention, and get drunk out of his mind!!!

His dad would be none the wiser. When I’d ask him where his son was, and he’d say he was an “attendant” somewhere. On more than one occasion, my friend was sent home in a Taxi (cause he was so drunk) and I had to drive him the next day to pick up his car!!! I hate those fate experiences they read at the end of the assembly. What’s your story?????? Please share.

it was boring,,snooze city, there were room for a bout 200 and they didn't have more than 40 in attendance very few youths mostly older ones(30 and beyound).

i didn't have a clue what the speaker was saying thank god i came a 1/2 late, those poor poor people that have to sit thru such mind numbing drival about how we are to treat people in the congregation and not to be jealous bla bla bla.

the wt the reader was drone the conductor brain dead and every body answered the wt by practically reading their answer word for word from the wt,, it was pitiful,,pitiful.

My Observation...How Come?

i've nearly finished reading the 2 ray franz books and i've been on this forum for a few months and i've wondered about this:.

on both the books and the forum much is said about the watchtower lying ,misleading ,being a false prophet ,having no conscience toward the after effects of decisions they have made that have effected peoples lives ,even sometimes tragically.. well ,ok ,but my observation is this :very rarely ,if at all, does anyone say directly that the watchtower is lead and influenced by satan.does this mean that :.

ones have lost faith in god /religion because of the watchtower org and now don't really believe in satan now.

WTS is not run by Satan. He's too smart and know's the 607 is a lie!
