A bi-polar person overspends ALOT throughout the decades, and then will blame others for their overspending/financial situation and/or yells, screams, and gets defensive when asked to be financially responsible. (I know 2 people that are just like this). Then, no one will hear from them for a few months. Then, they go shopping . . . again!

However, many times the person has an entitlement personality, and no depression. They simply believe that they are entitled to their sacred cows, at all costs. They are the opposite of a humble, honest person. They are dishonest with themselves in convincing themselves they can afford something they can't, and with others when they claim bankrupcty and cheat their way out of it by not working. (I know a person that is just like this, too). I have seen these people then try to extract money from others. All of a sudden, a quid-pro-quo deal turns into the person wanting to get paid but doing no more in return. Or, they promise your money to themselves. I had a very large jar of change, and my entitlement person asked to have it 'for a needy person'. Later reported that my change jar had several hundred dollars in it. The needy person was given $100, and the rest went to the entitlement person for something they 'needed.'

Either way, watch your purse around these types of people. They will overstep boundaries and then try to turn you into the witch in the end.

Need a Game Plan

by bafh in

i'm not sure what is going on at the convention, but i just got a desperate call from a friend wanting me to attend sunday's morning session.

last weekend, my mom invited me too.instead of saying something like, "i'm sorry, but i have no intention of going back," and having them completely freak out - i agreed to go to the sunday morning session.

any recommendations?

OP wrote, "I agreed to go to the Sunday morning session."

So, you should honor your word and go to the convention in the morning. Take separate transportation. When it ends, say, "Thanks for inviting me It shows you care for me. I heard nothing new that I haven't heard before.(Or, if it is new, like New Light's Overlapping Generation Change . . . then discuss that briefly. 'I was stunned to see the New Light. It seems the Generation Teaching has changed alot, again. I don't think the Society knows what it is doing on that one."') I have plans for the afternoon. I'm going to (x). Would you like to join me?"

Next time they ask you to attend a meeting (which will be coming), then you are going to have to deal with it.

Please help me destroy the logic of October 2014 Conversation With a Neighbor.

this has got to be a joke.

anyone with half a brain would destroy the logical fallicies in this article.

THat article is "la la" fairytale land projection. The JWs can't land adult converts anymore. Look at all the child baptisms only. Since there is little conversion of actual adults, Witchtower had to make up a fairytale article of a JW leading a perfect convert. It's kind of like magazine advertising. Present an ideal in pictures and a few words. If you can't have the perfect life, then read about it/look at pictures in a magazine. If you can't have perfect followers anymore, then read about it/look at it in pictures.

"And major world events since then confirm that 1914 was indeed the year that God’s Kingdom began ruling in heaven."

And the almighty God and His Organization couldn't prevent WW1, WW2, famine, and everythign else that occurred during the passt 100 years? He's a weak God to have left the world in sleep for 1900ish years and then, when at the helm, let it fester for another 100 years.

are "stuck in" jws in a toxic relationship?

this past two weeks, i've been realizing that a few of my jw relatives are very toxic people (they fit the description below).

i realized that alot of ex-jws who are stuck dealing with jws may also be in a toxic relationship.

I did the

"T ell the person how you feel in an assertive way. Use “I” statements. For example: “When you act/do/say _____, I feel _____. What I need is _______. The reason that I am sharing my feelings and needs with you is_______ (because I love you, I want to build a healthy relationship with you etc.).”
