Was everyone surprised by how nice worldly people can be?

i, like most born ins grew up being taught that everyone who was not a jw was inherently wicked, that they were dishonest, unloving, selfish, bad parents who don't care about their children, and also sad empty people with no direction in life.. as i grew older i started to see that this wasn't always true with every one, that what i was taught wasn't equating with what i was seeing.. by high school i could see that my friends at school, (yes worldly friends eek!

) we're actually decent people with morals, they may have engaged in a little fornication here and there but not promiscuously, and they were good honest people, with goals and parents that cared for them.. but after high school i was phsycologicaly bullied into ceasing contact with my friends altogether, leaving me with little contact with outside world, and the cult mentality had more room to grow, not fully, but enough to unconsciously not fully trust 'worldly' people.. however, once i'd left the org and began to meet people again, i was amazed at actually how good, honest, loving, kind, and caring many people can be!

who love their spouses and children and try their very best to be good parents and partners.

Not only was I surprised at how nice and genuine the worldlies were, but I was mortified at how nasty the witlesses were in comparison.

when did you make convention hotel reservations:"during regular business hours or right after the meeting ended?

I always pick a hotel from the list or my Mom (who travels with me otherwise I'd weasel out of going) would have a sh*t fit and fall in it. This year I called the next morning because when I got home from the meat-ing I was too tired and went to bed. Usually though, I call right after (and sometimes from the car in the parking lot) because the one decent hotel goes fast and I refuse to stay in the roach motels they "arrange" for us.

It just goes to show you what the geezers at headquarters know; most hotels have 24/7 staff just for reservations.

Bill Maher makes JW joke

by undercover in

jw

i tired to find a youtube clip of this but couldn't.... but anyway, on real time a couple of weeks ago, during his opening monologue, bill maher was talking about the trayvon martin/zimmerman deal and he made mention of florida's "stand your ground" law, which allows an individual more leeway in using deadly force to defend against what they percieve as a threat to self or property.. going by memory, so i may not have the quote exactly correct but basically he joked, "good thing they don't have "stand your ground" here (california).

my front lawn would be littered with jehovah's witnesses".
