In one congregation we where in had an anointed sister that must of had some sort of hatred for Italians or something. We are Italian and speak English with an accent. She was always correcting us on our accent. She even hated how we dressed. Running to the elders crying on how we look. And she was the type that got her way. Not with my Dad or Mom. She came into the shop one time with her car and my Dad told her he cannot work on her car, which was a lie all the work was down he just not want to deal with her. She walked into my Mom's bakery and demanded my mom to make her a cake. Mom told her she had too many clients ahead of her and referred her to another bakery. Mom could of helped her, just didn't want to deal with her.

The use of "Stumbled" as a Control Technique.
by Phizzy ini thought about this when i read the expression in another thread, "someone was stumbled", they would never tell you who the person was, and simply used it to control you, or it got worse, some times it was "you might stumble someone" .. who were these stumbling loons of which they spoke ?
not only was it a control mechanism, it encouraged you to not be your real self, ever.. i liked the response of one of my jw relatives to this, where they expected him to change the person he was, he said "these people accusing me are not perfect are they ?
no, well then, they cannot expect perfection from me".

We had an anointed sister who had either something against Italians or us and she had it clear many times how much she "runs" that Kingdumb Hall. English is my parents second language and this sister would have the nerve to counsel my mother to comment with out an accent.
Both my parents are good in English but have a heavy Italian accent.
Very Sad what My parents went thru!

I 'm glad I got out got education and businesses where the average Jw would frown on. But I Don't have the problems they have. In one of my businesses, I have an elder and two MS'S. The two MS'S work better then the elder. In fact this coming year, I'm promoting both MS'S to Underwriters and give sales and advertising to the elder since he likes to push his work onto the MS'S to go home early. -

How can anyone in their right mind sit and listen to the same old stuff over on over again ? It's just stupid! I got fed up of the waste of my life and time. I stopped going.

Struggling to find a purpose
by My Name is of No Consequence ini spent most of my life in the org.
we were taught that our purpose in life was to serve jehovah.
that never really made sense to me, but it was still a purpose to keep going.

Jwism has robbed us of our lives. Serving a man made organization/God for their benefit not ours. Countless time ,education and money lost because of this group. When you are out you have to build from scratch you life.

A Good Example of entitlement was when my mom ran a bakery in the States a pioneer sister came into the bakery an said she was here for her bread and since she is a pioneer and we " have money" we should give her bread. My mom was really disappointed by this. The Pioneer did not get any bread.
