  Good Reasons To Hate Every Weak And Ex-Jehovah Witness.

  by AuntConnie in

  1. my husband's time is finite, it's wasted on spouses arguing over money, sex or family mattters with stupid home visits.. .

  i hate people's constant open hand for money, it's the weak individuals asking others to pull their weight.

  my family worked extra hours instead of begging the strong members for district assembly money, cat food for seven cats or tiny little rag-a-muffins weiner dogs.. .

  Looking Back, Did You Notice Many JWs Had Drinking, Drug or Mental Issues?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as an elder, i saw many people that were affected by booze, drugs and mental health issues.

  a lot of witnesses fought depression and turned to other things when they realized they couldn't keep up the pace and find inner happiness with what they did do..

  Thank you so much for posting this Eric. Your courage and composure during that ordeal was a real inspiration.

  The Elder Cosmo was very uncomfortable around the 10 min mark when you were talking about someone telling confidential info to your father in law and also about your wife going to court and the slander you are hearing about you. In fact for most of the first 30 mins he was quite uncomfortable. Then around the 30 min mark he seemed to have made up his mind altogether about you and just sat waiting for it to be over with. Maybe he was trying to block out what you were telling them as it was just too much cope with - his cognitive dissonance must have been in overdrive!

  The whole thing is just so very very wrong and again reminds me of the nazis who were able to brainwash and control some decent ordinary men to such an extent that they would willingly turn against and execute their old friends. (Of course just like there were with the nazis there are some JW elders who relish in the power they are able to wield over others.)

  Looking forward to hearing the rest of it.

  All the best

  We're thinking of you Terry over here in Australia and very glad to hear you're finally on the mend. It must have felt so good being able to eat those pancakes after days of nothing and now hopefully the prunes will do there job and fix the other end.

  Take care and best wishes for a full recovery soon.

  NEW LAW Starting July 2012 in Qld Australia Preventing Door to Door Sales

  by Hopscotch in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just read this in our local newspaper this morning and thought it is very interesting.

  this law is aimed at door to door marketing by companies but i am wondering if this may end up including religious 'sales persons'.

  the comments below the story are worth reading as jw's and religious callers are definitely who many people want stopped under this new law.. .

  I wonder how many Aussie JW's who read this article are secretly thinking "please make this law apply to religious peddlers as well"!
