  When Meetings Went Overtime, What Did You Do?

  i used to start looking at the clock behind me, look at my watch, look at the speaker or person handling the part and give obvious facial expressions expressing my dissatisfaction.

  it was a pet peeve of mine!

  a few times when i had the last part in a service meeting, i'd say, rather sternly,"this originally was a 15 minute part but because we are running out of time, we will dispense with (whatever).".

  I was gonna say dress up as Taze Russell, but you'd never get near the stage. Be sure to have plenty of your own witnesses with you, if you know what I mean.

  Did the DFing policy make you emotionally distant?

  by Open mind in

  for those who spent many years in the jw religion, what effect did the knowledge that your friends or family could instantly be "poofed" out of existence by a judicial committee have on you?

  did it cause you to withdraw emotionally?

  looking back over the decades, ( i'm a 3rd gen jw in my forties, mentally out but physically in ) i can remember consciously thinking about whether a new friend was going to be around "for the long haul".

  Did it cause you to withdraw emotionally?

  "I can remember consciously thinking about whether a new friend was going to be around "for the long haul". I hated that! " I wasn't raised as a witness, thank you for posting this. At the end of CoC Ray Franz touches on this p oignantly, I had long suspected it, but until your post have not heard it so clearly defined.

  "If they weren't "spiritually strong" it seemed like there was even a better chance that they would be gone someday. (I think this is one thing that contributes to an elitist, clique-ish attitude among many JWs.) " The witness friends that I had were distant and guarded, I was a teenager and all the other teens witnesses wanted me as a friend, maybe they knew I wasn't totally controlled and could be a genuine person. I have long put into perspective that they did not appear capable of forming healthy long-term relationships. (yeah duh!)

  "Have I become emotionally distant in general?" Survival mode may be it?

  "I'm trying to stay as emotionally close as possible even though I know it will make it that much harder if my family is ripped away." You stay as close as you can, geeze.

  Thanks for your post Open Mind. Try not to worry about things you have no control over and never ever give up. Let your family know how you feel about them every day. I sure hope they will eventually get out.

  Hang tough.

  "Then again, she wouldn't likely bring anything up with everyone else around anyways." That's good. She will behave around the family, but they are probably all aware that she hasn't been a g-mother to your daughter. Is she embarrassed about that? Too bad she can't see how destructive that religion is.

  "I guess the big thing is I don't want her even around my baby..." If that is really what you think then examine why and decide if it's worth the ruckus it could result in.

  LOL LOL LOL "I'm sure they, the cable company, was there to install the playboy channel. It helps the BOE to interrogate (sp) young ones about what exactly they did or did not do during heavy petting sessions. Visual images make more of an impression than simply asking leading, emberassing questions."--erynw

  Good one. Hopefully a JC was in there meeting to discuss the next round of interrogations to ferret out those guilty of thought crimes.

  "Which one of you guys did this? Any 'postates near Rome, Georgia?"

  They would use a gas tanker truck.

  JK!! Watchtower if you're watching and use this quote to demonstrate how evil this site is, you'll be taking it out of context. (paranoid schmucks)

  These are all too funny! "Do you have any religious affiliatiation?" there's the one I wouldn't answer, well only "protestant".

  From the other side I've asked, "Are you hearing voices?"-----"Yes they tell me I'm a horrible person."------"How have you been coping with them?"----"I take a bunch of ativan. If I don't have any ativan I drink Jack Daniels."------"Does that help?"--------"No, but then I don't give a sh*t what the voices say." LOL
