An older sister had longwinded (surprise surprise) sermons she would attempt to deliver to any poor householder and become upset when they closed down on her saying 'they never let me deliver my sermon.'
One day a visiting bro was introduced to the cong and he gave her a hug.. Well this was a scandal!
------------------
The wt as a whole is responsible for these bizarre and rude behaviours as they insist people lock themselves away from outer society, read nothing else, do nothing else eat poorly and end up as we have seen and thereby deliver an appalling 'witness' to the society they live in.

Do you have a barking, snarling, vicious Brain-Dog too?
by Terry inthere is a snapping vicious junkyard dog in my head.
a dog constantly barking, hungry, terrifyingly intimidating, and above all...relentless!.
unless i feed it a constant stream of input - it threatens to eat me alive.. (it is that monster from the id in forbidden planet.).

Terry,
No not barking.. just... there.. a black dog. Currently it just wanders along near me and there are times when its under my feet.. it drools.. its very presence virtually prevents me doing anything but I must... to attempt anything that involves making anything its presence means I get the measurements wrong..It softly growls for no reason.. I forget stuff. Walk down the street and see woe and destruction.. remember anything as see my life as full of failures many. If school days are recalled its nasty bitch teachers who made a career of ridicule and any spontaneity drummed away from us.
I long I ache to hold some one as a frightened child and receive their help compassion care warmth for some one to say ..well done and reach out to me.
No not a barking dog just an old black one...
Thanks be for medication and the Australian Pharma scheme that makes it affordable.

Uber’s ruin everything

Ubers.
These folk also include the "What abouts". No matter what discussion, argument, or debate ensues they will always come up with "What about.." often with a pointed finger and no tact.
Thus the Ubers are class (!) of their own and the 'whatabouts' a sub class. and yes dear friends they are the epitamy of vexation to be around.

Yes sex has an incredible bonding power and that is likely why the wt seeks to deny this for couples.

On a similar vein. weddings. some folk were in the situation of having to invite some jw to a non jw wedding. They put them all together on a table as they said 'near the kitchen.'
I wonder if they spent the eve looking at everyone else enjoying themselves?
