A I few years ago my elderly motherbchecked out her neighborhood territory....and kept it. Once in a blue moon she would try to work it....by herself. The reason I know this is because one day as usual I went over to h house and there was a black couple letting h out of their van. They were pioneering and saw her trying to make her Way down the street so they picked her up. W all went inside and had coffee. I called them at home to thank them again for helping my mom. They wanted to come over so I let them and I had champagne and treats. After the second glass of wine they opened up about the racism in e cong....the remarks people said...like one elder in particular. Someone else's kid was sitting with this black family and the kid acted up...they gave him back to the mom and after the meeting the elder said, "that's what you get when you don't sit with your own kind". They ultimately moved away.

A story about Reggie and Reginald... and why it makes me cringe... more vomiting
by confusedandalone inso i grew up in new jersey in a very urban part of the state.
i literally only saw white folks if they were in a police car or if i went to the assembly.
the funny thing is at the assembly there was still a level of segregation as well although it was self-imposed.

10 Years out of the JW Organization- What I've Learned ( For what it's Worth)
by flipper in10 years ago i stopped attending jehovah's witness meetings for good.
walked out of the kingdom hall cold turkey never to return based on injustices i observed among others and myself at the hands of elders giving out not god's counsel but personal opinions as counsel .
some of them weren't even giving out wt society counsel- just personal opinions.

His or her religious thoughts should not enter the discussion. Red Flags.

Oh my. All kinds. All shapes. Most ok with the extremes on both ends of the scale. No boundaries. Hurt others with impunity...no remorse..never an acknowlegment. Just all in all a very unhealthy place to be.

I certainly don't want to be right as I obviously don't know an archangel from shinola. I was just curious. All of this just makes me realize how glad I am to be away from this crazy hot mess.

oh boy. I must have gotten this really wrong because I thought the society taught that Michael was Jesus name in heaven and as the leader of destruction at Armeggedon......maybe it was something my mother made up. as far as the angels go I never could wrap my young mind around "the wheels within wheels...covered in eyes" or the Babylon book. Michael was one of two angels guarding the ark? I don't remember that at all...but then we really had a most difficult time finding other sources. In fact, were strongly discouraged to look outside the society.
