  In 1935, my paternal Grandparents built a little travel trailer and towed it from Oklahoma to Wash DC with their four sons (my father being the oldest). There they learned that they were of the 'Jonadab' class. I heard the story told my whole life. Grandma looked at Grandad at some point in the program and said, "Oh! We're Jonadabs !". This seemed to tickle the you know what out of them and they went back to Oklahoma with renewed enthusiasm.

  Shortly before he died in 1969 my Grandfather told Dad, "If this 1975 deal doesn't work out I'm going to take another look at this whole thing."

  i posted some time ago about my jw neighbor and how my other neighbors mowed her yard as a courtesy.

  she was old and wheel-chair bound and they were good samaritans.

  they were not dubs.

  I dreamt I had just composed a rather long, but brilliant, post in response to a JWN thread topic. I had included some researched facts and a really perfect quotation from someone impressive. Just as I was about to click on "submit" my dog walked across the keyboard. Then I tried to wake up and I realized it had really happened! I wasn't dreamng!. .ahhg!

  Then I woke up....

  Some people are very comfortable being bitter and ugly. The JW cult encourages a judgemental frame of mind that finds fault with just about everyone and everything. As a life strategy for some people, JW or not, it has it's advantages.

  You never have to face your own guilt because there is always someone or something to lay it off on. Better to point out the speck in anothers eye than to deal with the rafter in ones own eye. After years of this one attains a self image of unappreciated perfection.

  The whole spicy Bible story of Demons with Sex Drive and the resulting hybrid humans as recounted above did not escape my radar even as a child growing up in the org.

  Later, I often puzzled over the story. It seemed at odds with statements by the almighty FDS teachings on the subject of spirit creatures, especially the state of existence of the resurrected 144,000. How could their pure, invisible, spirit state jibe with the story of sex and flesh driven spirit creatures ? It all had an accumulative effect, along with so many other things, that it finally eroded my belief in the credibilty of the WTB&TS.

  Am I mistaken, or wasn't the giant that David slew with a slingshot referred to as a throwback to the Nephelim hybrids that were supposedly eradicated by the flood?

  I long ago rejected it ALL as a crock of baloney, but it is an interesting example of how the rank and file JWs can ignore the elephant in the living room questions that might be awkward.
