I never really did. But one time I was walking thorough a grocery store and had on camo from hunting. It was army surplus so it was a M65 jacket. Must have looked like it was ex military. A couple walked by and scoffed at me like I was a pedophile. I did not get it until I went to ring up and an elder I knew said Hey I want you to meet this new brother and sister from the hall that just moved in. It was the couple who did the nose turn up and scoff. It was then I thought man witnesses can be such asses.

Did you feel contempt for Non Witnesses
by Steel inthe other day i went to this farm owned by this jw lady with my wife being a jw and my mother being a non witness.
later taking to my mother she noticed this vibe like this jw lady really hated her.
she just had these little slags like when we tried to pay for the fruit we picked , she looked directly at my wife and said " don't worry about it, i only charge wordly people ".. i also have this aunt who is a jw we are estranged from.

Soft on crime attitudes by some politicians. Being soft on criminals never ever works. Just like Communism and socialism never ever work. But some never ever seem to get it though their thick skulls these facts. Stop and frisk worked when I lived in NYC.
Hard sentences and enforcing the law works. Nothing else will. Criminals do not suddenly do right because you are soft on crime they do more. Giving druggies needles and a safe place to shoot up does nothing but encourage drug use. The only way that would work is if you gave them all the heroin they can use and let them OD. That will fix the issue.

NYC is a craphole. The criminals are running it and its just like it was or getting very close to what it was in the 1980s. Time Square was full of seedy porn clubs, pimps, hookers and drug dealers and users. No one would go there unless it was to indulge in the above activities. It took a lot of work by hard on crime people to clean it up. Stop and frisk ect.

Does Anybody Here Sympathize With The Looters That Cause Destruction?
by minimus ini realize some here are diehard democrats.
whether you are democrat, republican or independent, do you support any of these looters that cause mayhem and destruction for their cause?
i have heard some people sympathize with these law breakers saying they understand why they do what they do and leave it at that.. of course i wonder how they would feel if their own property was burnt or stolen or destroyed..

Police have seconds to react. Someone is reaching under a seat of a car after being told to stop or rushing toward them. Being an monday morning quarter back is lazy and stupid. The police have seconds to react to what can be life or death for them. They don't have time to say wait let me get my rubber bullets. LOL Besides rubber bullets are not designed to stop an attacker they are designed for crowd dispersal and riot control. If you don't want to be shot don't do stupid carp. If the cops tell you to stop stop and comply. This glad handing of criminals is mindless. What some of these crowds need is a few times to be shot up so they know that criminal actions have consequences. This is why people don't rely on cops for protection rely on yourself. Carry a CCW pistol, learn to use it and if you are in need use it.

I Dont Want My JW Family To Wake Up
by pale.emperor init's come to the point now, after being out almost 5 years, that i've come too far with my life, acheived the things i wanted (or i'm on the road to), did the things i wanted to do and have reached a happy and satisfactory life.. i did all this on my own apart from exjws such as yourselves online for support.
after reaching a place where i finally dont think about wt everyday and stopped getting emotional or worked up about my former jw life i'm glad to simply live my life and let others get on with theirs.. but, if my family were to leave and get in touch i'd have to deal with all that shit again.
i'd have to deal with people who's personality i deliberately removed from my life as i was building an authentic nonjw life.. my mother would likely still be closed minded and homophobic.. my sisters would likely still live for gossip and social media stalking.. my cousins would likely still put on a pretence of wealth to impress those around them.. i really cant be doing with such people.. it sounds bad, but i really hope they stay in.

I feel that way about very old ones who are in the cult. They spent their whole life many times waiting for something that will never happen. To pull the rug out from that at the end of their life cycle is IMO cruel. This is why the cult is so dangerous. It destroys what could have been. Lives that were never fully lived. This is one of the reasons I hate the cult so bad.

Noah's Ark : A structure that could never have been built in Noah's day
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe ark encounter located in kentucky (opened in 2016) is a large representation of noah's ark based on the genesis flood narrative contained in the bible.
it is 510 feet (155 m) long, 85 feet (26 m) wide, and 51 feet (16 m) high.. .
genesis 6: 14 so make yourself an ark of cypress[c] wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.

The Arc experience is failing. People are not visiting and its a load of BS. There are so many flaws major flaws to the flood story, no world flood ever happened, the animals that have evolved separately from other animals, there is no way a ship that size could have fit all the animals and good and water needed. Not even close. Its a crazy story that can not be literal.
