What JWs did you know that were fanatical freaks?

by jemba in

i just mentioned in another post about a bro that wouldnt shake hands with anyone because it was of pagan origin.. another bro collected fossils that he would show in the ministry for some stupid creationist reason, everywhere he went he talked about jehovah, jehovah, jehovah, no one wanted to work with him, in the workplace or on field service.

his own wife would hide somewhere when he started his incidental witnessing at shops or on the street.. dont get me started about some of the fruit loop parents and what they put their kids through in the name of jehovah.. what freaks stand out in your memory as fanatical jws?.

a total rabid dub nutter. in it right back to the rutherturd days. i'm sure she would have ate one of his in a soft roll if she could have.

a full on religious freak. i came to hate the sight of her. thank the lawd she shunned me 100% after i finally broke free.

Out with a bang or Fade

by Honeybucket in

what did you decide to do?.

leave with a bang, trying to educate those around you before leaving?

perhaps writing letters to others forgiving/ asking for forgiveness.. or.

bigmac

i'd already resigned--back before 1975--but i dithered around--occasional meetings & local assemblies--to keep the boss reasonably happy.

then at the end of 1980--i really did go out with a bang.

i was banging one of the sisters !

As a Jehovah's Witness, how did you feel about the prospect of god killing millions of babies & children?

i've got to say that it repulsed me.. yet, i knew one brother/elder who always commented that he wanted 'to see the wicked being destroyed.'.

twisted beyond belief..

Where does all the JW money go?

by LouBelle in

jw
friends

i want to know.. does every kingdom hall, bethel and assembly hall belong to the watchtower, bible & tract society?.

each of those kingdom halls, bethels etc are built with the money obtained by that country's contributions.

if a loan is needed the bothers of that specific congregation pay off the loan.. the society has then an extremely huge amount of property worth billions of $$$$ who has control of all those funds?

I think someone owns the shares that Russell, his father and Connington first bought.

yes--ive read this before on here---if such blocks of shares do exist--isnt there a record of them?--and who owns them?--and the dividends earned.

if this were public knowledge i can just see the damage this would inflict. o bring it on pleeeease!!
