Yes but what you do not understand that is in our neck of the woods there is a development that is specifically for those who wish to partake in this behavior it is called "A Nudist Resort" huge sign outside it's entrance warns those entering that people will be nude. So we normally do not expect to find this behavior on our streets. Actually had a police officer seen this I am sure he would have at the least gotten a warning.

Apologizing to my non-JW friends
by pale.emperor inyesterday i bumped into an old friend from my last workplace.
he's a gay man and we were good friends along with a woman from the same office.
although i was a jw at the time, i would go for the occasional after work drinks with them, blackpool funfair every year and the occasional cinema or theater.

Yes, us wordly people do forgive and forget alot. We also let comments roll right on by.
I will give you an example of a comment the "Elder" made to me numerous times over the 5 years. I am involved very heavily with the Masonic community so he would say "the way I read the Bible the Masonic community is part of the Babylon blah blah blah. .." well whenever he started this I just tuned him out.
Now when we got down to our one and only fight after he gave me that booklet on Families. I made the comment look how you get such bad headaches every time you go to the KH, maybe if you cut back on the amount of time you spent there you would not be sick all the time.
His comment back to me was "those are my brothers you just insulted".
I thought to myself, did not say it to him but you insulted my brothers and sisters HOW many times with your snide remake and I left it roll right over. Now who has the broader stronger shoulders.

I am sure this man was far from being homeless. Not in this neighborhood, not in that car he was driving (maybe report it stolen), surely not for the quality of clothing he was jumping out of and into. I do believe it maybe a time management issue. This was a very well groomed man. Driving a very nice expensive car.
As for this nudity issue my son, dil and I are battling this problem on a daily basis because they have a 2 yr 3 mo old and 2yr 10 mo. Yes they are 7 months apart. I have these two wonderful grandkids 5 days a week for 12 hours. They arrive and go right back to bed in the morning. When getting the younger one dressed she thinks and insists we need no clothing no diaper nothing and it is a battle royal. Once you get her dressed she will strip and this process is repeated all day. Dad, dil and I are all trying to tell her nudity is not appropriate behavior. Even her brother yells at her NO NO.

Now I know I am getting older or of the older generation. I have had a very strange day with a lot of strange dealings with people with strange behavior today but this one incident was just over the top. So I came out of a store in a busy shopping center. This store is next to a gym. As I am about to get into my car I look across the aisle at the next row of cars, standing at the trunk of his car is this young man. The trunk lid is open WAIT and he proceeds to strip down to his skivies out of his gym clothes, then proceeds to dress into business clothing right there in the parking lot. I am thinking had he been in the gym wouldn't it been a good idea to do this while he was in the gym?
Now is this acceptable behavior in this day and time and I just did not get the memo?

We were fooled by the. " Jehover" of the W.T.
by The Rebel ini think that's a fair comment.
but i am not convinced by the " god" outside the w.t so far, and i think that's also a fair comment.
if god exists why does he seem a complete liability to convincing the majority of decent people i know to associate with his one true religios organisation?

Thanks Rebel.
I actually attended and was a member of the Lutheran Church until I was 50. Just saw to much of the lying and favoritism and men of the cloth committing adultery. (Elders and Ministers )
Then when I needed my church the most no one showed up. My plea to my minister for some spiritual guidance and support when I had cancer and asked my abusive husband to exit the home no one showed up from the church not even the minister that married us.

Rebel,
I have been through a lot in my life personally and seen a lot go on in this world that just did not make me one bit happy with my surroundings. Here is where I always get into a world of trouble on this forum! !! I have never blamed my loving and caring God for these things because there was always a HUMAN or THING playing a part in the evil things going on around me.
I will give you a couple of examples my mother was evil, yes the alcohol she drank made her very evil. I went out of my way till the day I put her in a nursing home to try to make her like me 60+ years. She was still beating me up.
I had cancer from my water supply government official hid the fact that there was far to much lead in the water.
We have had many wars throughout history that is because humans cannot figure out how to get along peacefully.
We just went through a major financial crisis world wide that is because we have some major "Satans" working in the banking industry and governments allow this crap to go on. One of these power houses stood before congress and had the gull to say but we are immune from all federal and state laws and still to this day he pulls down a disgusting salary with bonus that none of us will ever see in a lifetime. (Sorta sounds a little like another organization we all are familiar with you think)
My Loving and caring God has walked with me in the good times and carried me through all the trials. On my wall in my bedroom hangs poem. I am not very good at links. It is a poem then made into a song. I normally read this twice a day.
Footprints in the Sand
I believe in God, I am very spiritual, and I no longer believe in the Bible. I do a lot of charity work for children and women.
PS God has made me a very strong lady through all of my trials. I am a survivor and I raised two wonderful kids by myself. I was a very successful business woman and when I decided to go into semi retirement at 50 my clients were not a happy lot. Then at 62 they really were not happy because the remaining lot got the boot except one who refuses to leave. Well he gave me an offer I could not refuse to stay on board.

Are we victims of abuse? Should we even think of ourselves that way?
by nicolaou inabuse is such a serious word and i'd hate to use it lightly so if anyone reading this has suffered physical or sexual abuse please know that i absolutely do not equate religious abuse with your suffering.
that being said, many of us were lied to and manipulated for decades.
this cultic 'abuse' has borne fruit in shattered relationships, broken families and estranged children.

Never a JW.
Freemindfade, survivor is a much better term. I am a survivor of both child abuse (physical and emotional ) and spouse abuse.
Flipper has covered a huge amount of the abuse in the organization but there is still the emotional abuse of the children. Those Caleb and Sofia videos and the children books that pale.emperor was discussing on another thread with those horrible graphics along with meeting agendas with no concept of age appropriate material.
Then you get into a JC with 3 men and 1 woman or a child asking totally inappropriate questions.
YES, all of this is outright abuse. If it wasn't a religion it would be criminal abuse.
