  first demon - - i sent my jw sister an email with some info about wts.

  i just got a package in the mail from her.

  course she disagreed with all the info but said her computer crashed right after she opened that email and she doesnt know if it can be fixed.

  Knowing my sister, I feel she sincerely believes it was demonic. She suggested that I be careful what I read. . . . . Not too long after I started posting on JWD I would be sitting in bed in the dark watching TV and my ceiling fan and light would both come on. (I mentioned this on an earlier thread.) Creepy! . . . A few days ago an electrician was here checking something else and I told him about it. His first question was "Does it have a remote?" - - Apparently its not uncommon for the remote to do this. I took the battery out to see.

  SECOND Demon - - Not thinking, I gave my sister a book - - One of “The Cat Who . . .” books. The main character is a Siamese cat that has some psychic powers. She said she read the dust cover and noticed the cat has mystic powers so was afraid to take the book in the house. She left it in the car. A day or two later when she got in the car she cranked up and all of a sudden her car radio came on at full blast and scared her to death!! . . . It had never done that before. . . . After that, it would come on by itself at full blast while she was driving down the road and scare her. . . . She said, After that happened a few times she chunked that book out the window and her radio never did that again.

  Because you can

  while we might think that people who provide customer service are rude, inconsiderate and unthankful.

  take a moment to think about how we as a society treat one another.

  for example, when you call in with a problem on something and treat the person who answers the phone like they are the one who caused the problem, made the decision who lead to your hassle and treat them with all the anger you have built up.

  Good topic - It's always good to be reminded to be nice. I recently retired and the last 6 years were in a call center. Some of us worked mostly written complaints but all had to take at least a day or two a week on the phones. You have my emphathy. Been there - done that! . . . It was always amazing to me how rare it is for anyone to accept responsibility for their own mistakes. Sometimes customers do need to be persistent (but be nice about it). . . . It always felt good to help someone get a problem resolved. . . . When I think about maybe getting a part time job I just move right on past the call center/customr service ads.

  What's the most stupid comment a JW told you?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember when i was new in the "troof", i was walking in a mall and a jw window washer saw me, and asked, "what are you doing here"?.

  yeah, he had a good reason to be at the mall, cause he was washing windows, but i had no business there.... i guess he thought that i was being seduced by material stuff.... and i was stupid enough, not to tell him, mind your own business fu**er....

  A CO's wife told me before I got married that I was engaged and I couldn't change my mind about getting married. Once engaged you have to go through with it. . . . I don't know whether it was more stupid for her to say it or for me (at 19) to believe her cause I knew it was a mistake. Oh well, after 4 years I was a single mom with 2 beautiful babies.

  Me too . . . If it wasn't for the "Truth" . . . I would not have been pinched and/or taken out and whipped for not sitting still during the meetings. I even had a CO pop me when I was 2 or 3 for running around in the KH after a meeting. Guess he thought my parents weren't fast enough on the punishment. (I don't remember the CO one - I was too young - but heard the story many times growing up.) ... I remember one night mom was out front beating me and a sister walked by and asked if she could help. : ) - - - I never knew whether she was trying to save me or wanted to help beat me!!!

  basd on my comment to another post titled "1979," i thought that this would make an interesting separate topic.. a little history: many here are aware that i was an ms and then elder and of the anointed while a jw.

  i openly professed anointing for 20-years of the 27-years i was associated with the watchtower.

  since that time, i have totally and completely renounced all but one watchtower doctrine.

  Amazing, you said "I have totally and completely renounced all but one Watchtower doctrine." . . . Can you tell us which doctrine?

  I heard a very brief mention of Nazi Germany right at the end of the video. . . . Did you notice the nice big Cross & Crown on the old car??

  I purchased my copies from www.half.ebay.com. I checked and they do have some copies available. The latest is Fourth Edition (2002) but they also have some of the previous editions.
