The Experts- Jehovahs Witnesses
by jean-luc picard ini was thinking this weekend of a brother i first met when i was a teenager.. not yet an elder, this brother was very outspoken, and was viewed a kind of hero to the r&f.. an inexperienced teen, i also believed ( influenced by others) that this guy was a godsend.. looking back, with the eyes of a more mature person, i now consider him an arrogant self opinionated bully.. he later became an elder and i might add that he also had an imposing physical appearance .
but he had no education.
no schooling.

Too true Julia.

I was thinking this weekend of a brother I first met when I was a teenager.
Not yet an elder, this brother was very outspoken, and was viewed a kind of hero to the r&f.
An inexperienced teen, I also believed ( influenced by others) that this guy was a godsend.
Looking back, with the eyes of a more mature person, I now consider him an arrogant self opinionated bully.
He later became an elder and I might add that he also had an imposing physical appearance . But he had no education. No schooling. Many of his reasonnings were just plain stupid. But he was still a bully.
But wait a minute, Jehovahs Witnesses dont need a worldly education. They have something better. God given wisdom.
THEY are experts. Experts in EVERYTHING.
They know better than doctors, councellors, social services. Everybody.
You cannot tell them anything, they cannot learn anything, THEY KNOW BETTER.
Who needs god given wisdom. It is stagnent. It never evolves, never learns from its mistakes. Never moves forward.
It is a barrier to human advancement.

How do you react when you happen upon the name jehovah
by jean-luc picard inwhenever i here that name, maybe in conversation with someone who doesnt know my past, i feel anger welling up instantly inside me.. if there were a jw in sight, i think i could give him a jolly good shaking.. just hearing that name does things to me.. jesus = love.
jehovah = hate, selfishness, divisiveness, and domineering manipulation.. so much for jdubs "honoring " his name.
he's sure got a bad reputation based on how they live their lives..

Hi, Loubelle, hope youre feeling better.
mP: I take your point . Its ( love that is ) just the first idea that comes to mind when we think of Jesus, like the game whats the first word that
comes into your head?
Giordano: I know what you mean.
It seems like most of us dont consider it to be the illustrious name that we once used to: the days when we used to pronounce it Jehooooovah

Very difficult for you and your family.
This was the phrase that struck me
You know we've talked to you about this before, but I guess you don't care what we think.
I guess she doesnt care about what you think either.
On a positive side, my mother didnt speak to me for 5 years, then she got in touch with me through my sister , though half the while she is still trying to get me to go back.
