  They came by with one a few minutes ago, which I thought was kind of shitty because the meeting starts in like two hours here. I didn't take it.

  Tell them that they're a cult and their stupid birthday rule, like so many others, is to suck every last little bit of joy out of people's lives and take every opportunity to make them look like freaks so it's impossible to fit in and have any kind of normal interation with anyone not in the cult.

  Ya ever struggle with feelings of hatred or negative views of others? Misanthropy?

  somedays i've got a monster within my blood, and every so often i'd love to just give into it.

  throwing the jw factor aside, i genuinely believe that having and demostrating love for others is an honorable way to live.

  however, and there's always a however with everything in life, but i struggle sometimes trying to be consistent with love.

  Many people should be hated, and there are people whose sudden absence really would benefit the world.

  You know how when you're in a room with something that smells really bad, and at first you can hardlt stand it, and then eventually you realize that you can't even smell it at all anymore? That's actually called olfactory fatigue, but whatever. Happiness is the state that you experience when things have been so bad for so long that you no longer notice how bad everything sucks.

  Does anyone know what happens to full-time JW's(DO's, CO's, Missionaries, Special pioneers, etc) when they reach old age?

  i am just wondering since these people never work a secular job.

  is there some sort of an arrangement from the society to care for them?

  presuming they don't even have children of their own to look after them when they are old..

  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.

  Posting recorded conversations or transcripts on the internet

  by InterestedOne in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  given the weird dynamic of conversations with jw's, sometimes you only get the effect of it if you hear a recording of it.

  i was wondering if it's illegal to post recorded conversations with them on the internet without their permission.

  what about posting a typed-out transcript as long as the speakers are not identified?

  Depends on where you do the recording. In some places, as long as one party (you) in the conversation knows that the conversation is being recorded, then it's all good. In other places all parties need to be notified that the conversation will be recorded, but notification can be as simple as having the recorder in plain sight or having it emit an audible beep at intervals.

  As for posting your recorded conversations, once the recordings are made then you own copyrights and can do whatever you want with them. Unless you're violating doctor/patient confidentiality or something.
