Just never allow yourself to be used as a doormat. I've found being mamby pamby around Witlesses doesn't work. You need to grab them by the throat, shake them around a little bit, and tell what the program is going to be. Otherwise the preprogrammed BS kicks in. Until you can get through to them, nothing works. Rocking their world seems to be the only way to get through to them.
The only resolution I've seen with the "kill em with kindness" is a raft of your Tupperware missing from the funeral where the Witlesses still walked all over you and acted like you weren't there, AND stole your Tupperware...leaving you with a raft of unsaid, unsettled things to the person you had so much to say to. Also, negotiate from a position of strength always. Otherwise, you are like a beggar scrounging for whatever scraps of love they will toss in your direction.
Hang in their Crumpet.....things eventually get better.

Can't block your phone number for caller ID to show up?
I guess since I'm the alpha male of the family it hard to fathom my own parents from trying to shun me. But I was serious about the nursing home threat. LOL. Old people (those over 60) get terrified of old folks homes. Use any threat you see fit to. LOL. Sorry I'm not being a very good Buddhist tonight, but I'm tired and cranky. -

Tell him once you stick him in the old folks home, you might just forget to tell him anything about anyone too. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Nate....well the WTBS said to go excercise and work out or go for a run when the urge to masturbate hits. So I guess the WTBS helped me get started on my physical training. Now, I'm just an endophin junkie I guess. LOL.

Growing Up As A Transsexual In The Jehovahs Witnesses Organization
by Dogpatch in[dear randy, i stumbled upon your website, stories from the watchtower world, a few years ago.
i wished to write and inform you that the content has helped me a great deal in coming to terms with the loss of a faith that constituted my entire frame of mind.
technically i left the organization when i was 14 but i didnt truly take back my heart and mind until around 20-21 years of age.

Avi....LOL.....trouble maker.
My point was to show that in the "lie" we were all abused. Some sexually, some mentally, some emotionally, some physically. Trying to say one group had less damage inflicted seems as silly as the complaints between slaves. It's repugnant. We all suffered abuse at the hands of the WTBS. We were all slaves. -

Once upon a time in this country we had a thing called "slavery". The slaves that worked in the field toiled from sun up to sun down. These field slaves would call those that worked in the master's quarters "house negros". The field slaves didn't feel like the house slaves worked as hard as they did. Yet these house slaves were usually the ones the master would "have relations with". Guess what? They were all still slaves and treated like dogs.
Enough said.
