So, are you implying that some ex's or former JWs are still working through their anger?
I'm saying it's not a problem with the manners of exJWs if/when they have an issue with active JWs. The rest of my posts were just sarcastic fun.
i would like to know if there are any ex's or formers who still appreciate good manners and respectfulness?
but i hope this question isn't offensive to this forum.

uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
hope everyone on board is happy and well!.
jw's don't know what they are missing.

if the current doctrine is that only baptised witnesses are going to survive and everyone else burns them what about this new update new light that some from before the flood and sodomites will be resurrected?.
but didn’t he mention at the agm something about there is no point jehovah killing them and then resurrecting them again?
it seems they are confused about what they teach and that’s why brother jackson joked about “is this what we used to believe or what we believe now?”.
Who knows maybe some are so bad Jehovah will resurrect them just so he can kill them off again.
You know.. the Godly double-tap..

The other day I was at the grocery store. And sure enough, the automated checkout, used for 20 items or less, was blocked by a lady with two carts full of food.
On a hunch (because all exjws ... you know) I asked if she used to be a JW. Of course she was...
Confirmed again.

Your friend got suckered into a cult and then had his entire social circle reject him. The general response to something like that seem like angry and ornery...
Regardless of the accountability he might have accepted for being in the cult, it's still pretty justified at being upset, especially at current JWs.
I wonder if the more appropriate question is : who was the aggressor in the situation?

Don't listen to these guys. It's well known that all exJWs, upon leaving The Truth, adopt a cavalier attitude toward manners.
You know those people on the highway driving 50 mph in the passing lane? You guessed it - ALL exJWs. You know those people "browsing" down the middle of the grocery store aisle, stopping to read the label while prefectly centered so that there isn't enough room to get around on either side? Yup xJWs, all of them. ExJWs develop a compulsion almost immediately to go to the DMV, wait in that horrble line, just to get a vanity license plate that says something like GTN8KED or DZNUTZ5. Have you ever been shopping at a Walmart and suddenly realized you walked through a fart cloud? Well congrats, that was an exJW (almost exclusively. The small exception could be fans of Nickelback)

As documented on this site many times, the Kerfuffles are in charge.
i need the talk outline connected to the handbill pictured here:.

For fun, I went Googling 4701 W Warren Ave. It's a heavy residential area now. Either the road moved or the KH was torn down for houses.
“a circuit overseer started out by saying that on this last round of the circuit, the one thing he noticed the most...is that everyone is physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually drained...and that cuts across all barriers and demographics within the truth.
he then said that the one common thread that ran among nearly everyone was this: we feel guilty for feeling bad.
he said because we are told to endure with joy, our minds can cause us to feel enormous guilt over feeling this way...and then, my dear brothers and sisters...he proceeded to blow our collective minds.. he asked us to turn to daniel 8:27….
So the "sagely" advice was that the witnesses who are emotionally and financially drained are feeling that way because they aren't JWing hard enough.
And they feel blown away by this "insight"?
Classic.
