So far, this is what she's thrown out because she's too effing arrogant to accept help or input from a "worldly person".You are confusing arrogance with something else. She resents you being there.
Your mother wants you to move out.

Atheist believe there is no God? Yes we do, strongly!
by bohm inthere seem to have been a strong increase in entymological arguments lately, more precisely regarding the term atheist.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/198111/1/lets-settle-this-for-once-and-for-all-is-atheism-a-belief-a-non-belief-or-an-anti-belief.
i have reread the thread and i think i see where it goes very wrong.

Actually, the atheist makes himself the God.
Now, because being in the position OF God is more powerful, he has also become the "God Maker", if you will.
As the "God Maker" he can actually, if he so chooses, make "science" his God, "reason" his God, Darwin, Dawkins, earth, the chair, the bottle, pot, cocaine...........anything he wants, because, after all, he IS God AND the "God Maker".

cagefighter,
Read it again.........carefully.
nelly,
and the moral of this example is......
There is no "moral" there, but it is an example of something that we have all experienced at one time or another. It may not have happened at work, but something similar to this has happened at one time or another.
anyways you gonna tell us a little about yourself or are you just here to 'educate' us on how to be nice exjws
You don't have to be nice. You don't have to be mean. You just need to react properly to intimidation, which means not reacting to it.

wasblind,
Actually, this could happen anywhere, not just at work.
Someone posted something here the other day about an experience they had when they went out and saw a former "sister" that looked them up and down. She started cursing at that former "sister" or something to that effect.
That former "sister" got under the skin of the person who reacted with just a look. That's how sensitive we can become to the trauma that we have experienced in our past.
Anyway, it reminded me of this illustration.
That's all.
By the way, in that "psychology class", "back in the day", which was when, 1975 or 1988, did they teach you how to solve the problem of letting people "get under your skin", or did they suggest medication?

You are sitting in your cubicle at work, doing what you are supposed to be doing, namely, working.
All of a sudden your boss comes over and starts give you a hard time. "Your work hasn't been up to par!". "You've been spending too much time on the internet!". He goes on and on and on. He is not only "under your skin", he gets deep inside of you.
Unbeknownst to you, he had an arguement with his wife this morning and he's now taking it out on you. That negative energy has to go somewhere and you make one of his perfect targets..........again!
You argue with him in your head for the rest of the day.
When you get home, guess what? You start an arguement with your wife. "The food is cold, and you knowI hate when you cook it this way!". "The house is messy!". "I'll drink as much as I want!!". Whatever you can get your hands on. After all, that "thing" that got inside you has to go somewhere.
Now, you wife is upset, and guess what? She takes it out on your oldest son. "You never clean up your room!". "I'm not the maid!". "You are soooo lazy!". That "thing" moves along.
Now, your oldest son takes it out on your youngest son.
Your youngest son goes outside and starts to pull the wings off of butterflies.
So goes what I call: "The Bully Chain".

They said 'there are many of us'.
You need to be asking THEM, "what did you mean by 'many?' ".

Maybe you should teach yourself who the "WORD" is
Dear mouthy, you know very well I was not speaking of Jesus. Nice try, though.

Do you see how one word, just ONE word has created such a stir?
Until you deal with that word in your lives, you will be bitter.
For those of you that "get it", that is terrific.

ziddina,
How do you know what I have or have not experienced in the Org? What specifics have I shared other than my intro? Do you know if I am married? Do you know if I have children? What do you know? Was I treated kindly, or harshly by those in the Org? I do know what it is like to be a Jehovah's Witness.
By the way, as you and others come here to "help" each other, do you hold those same high standards for them as you do for me? When someone tells you this or that, do you require a Masters Degree from them?
mouthy,
With all due respect to you, do you see what my comments brought out of you? And you say you have no resentment? By the way, I didn't say "get over it", I said maybe I can help some DEAL with it. You, or anyone else "getting over it" is not up to me, it is up to the individual.

wasblind,
Actually, the reason I feel this way is because I have dropped the resentment. Not only against the Org., but against everyone and everything in my past that I had come to hate.
mouthy,
I lost family when I converted, but what good does it do me, or anyone, to look back in anger? What good has it done you to hold on to your resentment?
Look, I've just come here to try to help people DEAL with their situations, if I can.
