by BONEZZ infinally got it up on youtube...the title right at the moment is just "grandma" but it's going to change to "grandma pleads with jehovah's witness granddaughter.".

Losingit,
Go into survival mode. What must you do to survive? Paperwork is essential to your family's future? Get it done whether you want to or not, whether you can bare the thought of it or not. Don't focus on what you want or don't to do right now. Do what must be done, however unpleasant or seemingly impossible.
Hugs to you.

Why do you no longer have a facebook account? Your decision or something your hubby wanted?

Demons in a coffee shop? How would you react?
by laverite ini just saw this very short two minute video -- brilliant.
it's gone "viral" on the interwebs/nets.
i couldn't help but imagine that if a jw had been in this coffee shop, s/he would have been screaming "jehovah!

Hello to my favourite Outlaw/Laughing Doggie! It really IS messed up. I couldn't help thinking that if I had been there when this went down when I was a JW, I'd have fainted right on the spot. I was terrified of demons and constantly worried about being attacked. I wouldn't have had the strength to scream "Jehovah!" I am sure. I'd just have lost consciousness due to fear. As a JW, I was a drama queen especially in regard to anything to do with demons. Now, I am just a gay superhero so I've lost that particular fear.

How would you react now as opposed to when you were a JW?

Isn't it pretty much a sin already? If someone is questioning...they are liable to be labelled 'apostate.'

Kindness and Jehovah's People
by laverite ini came across the following quote the other day and it has stuck a chord with me.
jehovah's people tm spend their lives "pondering the human predicament" (how bad it is, how the world is about to end).
how meaningless all of their efforts and "ponderings" are.

And the goodness isn't even good. It's just all about legalistic mumbo jumbo and "busy work" that benefits no one: walking as slowly as possible from door to door when you know no one is even home to answer...Standing at the door waiting as long as possible before walking slowly to the next house.

Jehovah's People TM spend their lives "pondering the human predicament" (how bad it is, how the world is about to end). How meaningless all of their efforts and "ponderings" are. If only they'd focus on demonstrating loving kindness toward their families and each other. Unfortunately, all the nitpicky man-made rules, back-stabbing, resentment, jealousy, self-promotion, gossip, deceipt, lying (in the name of Theocratic warefare TM ), anger/fear/hate toward those who no longer believe as they do and the inhumane shunning of DFd and DAd ones, not to mention death policies (blood policy, etc.) do not allow for much real kindness. It has struck me just how unkind the Jehovah's Witness really is, both to those inside as well as those outside.
It all comes down to kindness in how we live our lives. The JWs are spinning their wheels "pondering" the human predicament as they do so endlessly. Their ponderings do not translate into any real benefit for others, just "witnessing."
Perhaps you, too, will find some meaning in the following words:
It’s rather embarrassing to have given one’s entire life
to pondering the human predicament
and to find that in the end one has little more to say than,
‘Try to be a little kinder.‘
Aldous Huxley (1894 – 1963)
