Now after 21 years in professional psychology/humanities, I love talking to brothers that adopt a slow pace in speech, and low tone of voice when they deal with the rank and cold un-associated ones. My mirroring their present state in personality seems to psych them out for a bit. I then tap into my fast injection of logical sense, that throws them off. They soon lose patience at my versatile psychological sense then dissipate and move to the next revisit. LOL, They leave me alone!!! Mimic their talk and cadence in speech, they will leave you alone.

Are you angry for having been a JW?
by Half banana ini remember seeing the ex-jws parading around outside the assembly like lepers holding placards of hate.
we were the righteous and enlightened ones... and they were lost in outer darkness.
just dont look at them was the standard response to their unwelcome presence..

I am still angry. My mother did not let me take my SAT's because this system was ending soon. So she made me work a full time after high school and go part time to community college for a 2 year degree. I knew I had a great mind, and became very frustrated with having to promote myself as a JW faithful drone. I soon thereafter got married and graduated with a full 4 year degree. I wish I was allowed to apply for scholarships. I know I would've done great sooner in my life. Now I see all the unsatisfied witnesses, pretending and feeding their wealthy appearance. How the hell do many of these witnesses drive brand new cars, and trade in every time a new model comes out? Even though I have good employment, I am happy with my crappy car plus my AC just went out. I leave the nice vehicle to my wife, she deserves it. -

Suicide Prevention Counseling
by MrCellophane inin the 1980's when i was an elder, i don't remember the society providing any guidance to elders on suicide prevention counseling.
i realize much has changed since then.
can any current/recent elders update me on what the current position of the local elders would be if approached by someone in the congregation contemplating suicide and seeking help?.

I am looking for charts or any statistical study done to prove that suicide within the JW's is high comparatively to other groups. Has anyone done this statistical analysis? It would really come in handy during conversation. Does anyone have a Megastat for this? Thx
One of my childhood friends became very suicidal after he got DF'd. I kept on talking to him. I was always getting pulled into the back room (cuartito) to tell me to stop talking to DF'd folks. I was adamant in treating all people fairly. I don't know how I didn't get in more trouble for contesting sh#t, but hell, I always pissed them elders off anyway. I hate self-righteous crap.......

Many of those ugly a## Bastards think they are good looking too. I would see them looking at my wife and other young sisters. I'd get a kick out of seeing their desperate ploys. I knew a few slow (Sped) sisters that would actually welcome the elders hitting on them. Just sayin......LOL!! -

If Someone Touches Woman’s Breast and Covers it up…
by John Aquila inone of the elders schools i attended, we dealt with a person who touched a girls breast and covered it up and kept it secret until it was revealed through a source.
the instructor first laid the ground work for a guilt trip.
he read this scripture;.

That reminds me of all the young dudes my age that are now elders, and self righteous as hell. When they well know that I was one brother that would discourage them from heavy petting with the girls that were hanging out with us. Quite a few of them also committed frequent fornication after they were used to the petting. Now they are elders and pretend to be clean. So I guess they justify their filth through that loop hole in the Shepard the Flock Elder book. So I sincerely think my wife and I look a lot younger than their decrepit selves and wives because we left all that stressful BS. Good topic John! -

They will be on you until you die, if you don't leave. Just fade and keep yourself neutral. We moved congregations out of the circuit and faded, It's turned out great for my wife and me.
If you want the suffering and pressure to continue, then stay. Watch out for your health and take care of your immediate family.
Thank you for your story

by adimmedlight inwarning, novel ahead:.

My wife, family and I welcome you. My mother gave study to a very humble and striving family like yours. She sure as hell surprised me in having the patience at the time for this study, being that my mother looked down on everyone around her/including us, her children. I eventually came to grasp that my mom had so many studies because she wanted to save herself, and this was her selfish main interest. I congratulate you for surviving and still keeping your head up. My studies in psychology, and my wife's intelligent ways helped us through our fading away. We had our huge JW wedding along with our ceremony in the hall. We faded weeks after, and what helped is that we moved away to a new house and never reported to our new hall. It was slightly uncomfortable at first since the brothers would come and look for us. What also helped is that we kept our gate locked and they couldn't come into our property. (The gate is 40 yards from our front door, LOL!!! "We can't hear you brothers!..")
Our message to you is this, being away gets easier by the week and before you know it, you will feel that you are happy without all the scrutiny and self-righteous behavior that the brothers and sisters are eager in dishing. If you feel you need religion, then seek one that fits you, and your future mates needs. We got distant from all men's writings and have studied too much and learned too much to go back to religion. We wish you an ongoing enlightenment and a joyous opening to your options.
