I had customers yesterday, a couple, who said they had to get to a meeting by 7:30 last night. (red flag!) I asked what was the nature of this meeting, and they said it was like church, and I asked what religion, and they were hohos. As much as it sickens me, I said that I was raised a witness and was planning to be baptized soon, and my whole family are jw. WHAM! Closed 'em. The wife said over and over how bad things are, the world is so bad, that everything is sooo bad, and the governments are bad and there are bad diseases, and there is war, to which I added, "that's bad". They're nothing if not motivational.
It's a treat to not live afraid of everything like they do. They only thing we should really fear are Car Salespeople.

People! Did we learn nothing from the Ute Book (Your Ute, Getting the Best out of it)? It's called Infatuation, not Love.

I just had a very interesting phone call from the JC
by hambeak ini got a call today from a member of the judicial committee asking if i would meet with them.
i asked them what for?
i was told it was about my asking questions about wts involvement with the un and bethel layoffs and my getting information from an apostate website.. i told them i have never attended their kh and had been inactive for more than 20 years and no longer accepted their authority and they no longer had a control over my mind or what i read or say or do.

FS experiences that got you doubting
by greendawn indid things happen eg people told you things that got you doubting about the wts while you were on the field service?
.
i recall a girl i had never met before who was crying (after we talked for a while) for being shunned by another local congo, and i thought that it was too cruel to shun people and something was not right with the jws.

Wow, instant flashback. . .18 years ago, I was a RP. A woman came to the door (my turn) and said very seriously that she hated the jws because her daughter became one at age 19, within a short while got DF'd, became so depressed that it ate her up and this poor woman, the mother, said she could not help her daughter--the girl was so despondent about the annoucement and being shunned, that she killed herself. She went on and on about how the DFing doctrince is so harsh, I knew all the stock responses, but there was going to be no explaining to this mother. . .and rightly so. My partner interupted and said, "We're sorry for your loss but that hasn't been our experience." We left.
This was in Arizona, I wonder if this woman ever posted here.

Properties Department, Bethel
by JimWood ini called the properties department today to inquire about the jay st property and the zoning change that took place recently.
apparently, according to the sister on the phone, the gb gave the go ahead to seek the re-zoning to special mixed use district (mx-2), so that they could expand if needed.. when i asked, "hey i thought brooklyn was getting smaller?
" she laughed and said that they could sell it now for "a lot more" than under the old zoning.
