  How has the org changed you emotionally?

  by obiwan in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm just wondering how everyone was changed by the wts emotionally.

  i find that after going through being df'd and the shunning, the general loss of everything that i'm much harder, i give people less sympathy than i used to, things that are seriuos such as deaths and the like just don't move me much.

  i feel desensitized, sorta detached i let so much just roll off my back than i used to.

  It also claimed that at the time during which the sexual acts had taken place none of the involved or their parents had been members of Jehovah's Witnesses. According to the ad Anders and his parents had also made a deal with the elders in the congregation not to report the abuse to the police or social authorities after the abuse was discovered.

  So it didn't happen, yet there's a cover up, oh brother.

  your catch phrase

  by SpiceItUp in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i'm sitting here at work and it just dawned on me that i use the same phrase over and over subconsciously.

  in my job i have lots of people that thank me on the phone and for some reason instead of saying "your welcome" (which i do use occasionally) i say "not a problem" or "no problem".. what is your little catch phrase that you subconsciously use?.

  spice of the fluffy friday class

  Has the Society ever considered night witnessing?

  by Holey_Cheeses*King_of_the juice. in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it could have merit.. consider - we have night tennis, night golf and a host of other nighttime activities that have proven successful.

  so why couldn't the org arrange for a nightshift of witlessing?

  those people that are recorded as nahs during the day, would surely be at home in the evening, and, the later the brothers called, the better chance they would have of finding someone at home.. i'm sure there would be many honest hearted individuals who would welcome being woken at 3 a.m. for a solid discussion of fable principles at their front door.

  I'm wondering why there isn't a suit against the wt for defamation of character, clearly there is no basis for the ad that was circulated. After that fubar the wt should place several thousand dollars to the victim.

  Nice Guys Vs. Jerks.

  by Mecurious? in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i'll tell you guys something, being nice doesn't get you anywhere in this world.

  being nice gets your heart broken, gets you walked all over, and taken advantage of.

  whenever someone sees you as a nice guy, they'll see you as a person they can take advantage of, and you'll let them because you're nice..
