  Verbal abuse and the JW's

  by Cagefighter in

  in a previous post i mentioned how i just recently became aware of "verbal abuse" and how i am guilty of it in my personal life.

  some people think of verbal abuse as launching into a profanity laced tirade against someone.

  that is a shallow definition, what hit home for me was the term "reviling".

  Just wanted to thank you for this thread – I’ve observed how condescending my JW sister is towards people, simply because she thinks she is better morally to others, including me, the evil apostate sister.

  Unbelievable.

  i've stated this before on this message board but i was kind of curious about this and wanted to get some feedback from the group.

  in particular, the ladies who are either current or former jw's.. about a year or so ago, my wife went with me to a church i was attending at the time.

  we then later that morning attended a kh meeting.

  Broken Promises

  As a JW in good standing, and if you want to stay that way, you had no option but to marry another JW. Looking at a non-JW as a marriage mate just wasn’t on.

  The only JW boyfriend I had, and was engaged to, had a one-night stand with a non-JW girl and got her pregnant. I felt pressured to continue with the engagement as he was “sorry” and begged for forgiveness. But ultimately, I couldn’t start a marriage with such a horrible beginning and broke off the engagement. It was also at this time that I had been learning the real truth about “the truth” so I had decided that marrying a full-blown JW just wasn’t for me.

  I have more people at my door collecting for charities or school raffles than I’ve had JWs visit me.

  I can only see that happening if there weren’t many congregations to visit.

  Can I ask, are you from the Czech Republic?

  In Australia:

  Grant Holland (very softly spoken, nice guy IMO)

  Conrad Mack

  Neville Bromich (or was it his brother?)

  There were others but after being out for 10 yrs my brain is getting foggy.
