  why do the republicans seem to have a monopoly on this behaviour?.

  Actigall UR - I hate having their lifestyle forced in my face

  OMG you're one of THOSE. And what exactly is the "gay lifestyle"? Does that mean that when my TV channel broadcasts shows like Holiday Reps (shows with lots of young drunk, vomitting, naked, straight people who have sex in the street and in nightclubs while throwing up over each other in various European holiday resorts) that they are forcing the heterosexual lifestyle in my face? Please stop with the hypocrisy or take your homophobia somewhere where it's appreciated. Rant over.

  A particularly obnoxious JW on youtube.

  i was looking at a few youtube videos about jw's/wt etc and came across a particularly obnoxious and supercilious jw by the name of 'sweetmikser'.

  has anyone else had the misfortune to come across him (or her?

  if ever you want to remind yourself of what the 'new personality' at it's worst looks like then i suggest a read of some of his/her comments.

  It always makes me laugh how they think it's completely justifiable to dish out name calling but don't realise what a massive shot in the foot it is for them. The guy is apparently inactive and is probably easing his conscience by doing some "online witnessing" (ahem). On the plus side he is probably on his way out. I remember doing my own form of online witnessing when I was at the beginning of my fade (though I didn't know it at the time). I was never abusive like that tho, my word!

  This was completed a number of weeks ago. I think they had their official opening talk last month. Seeing the photo of the two brothers was disconcerting, being so close to home. I know them quite well. The brother standing up is an ex bethelite and is apparently going back for five years to help with the HQ construction.The other brother is a big part of my own history and is, what I would call, one of the good ones.

  things you dont hear: Protest against Jehovah's Witnesses event in central Israel turns violent

  it funny how the cult will imbelish on somethings and others they just sweep under the rug and you never hear anything about it again.

  i was just doing some searches on the internet and stumbled on this.

  i had heard that the dub's were trying to get people to go to israel and then you never hear anything after that.

  I think this report says more about the protesters than the JWs. Much as I have no time for The JW religion, the right to freedom of worship is important. They weren't harming anyone by meeting. If someone converts from Judaism to JW ism that's their choice. They're both as bad as each other. How can you not conclude that Judaism isn't just as controlling from this report?

  My experience with a Judicial Committee, when in my early 20's

  by Dunedain in

  2. experiences

  i joined this wonderful site, only a few weeks ago, although i have been away from the borg, for almost 20 years.

  i didnt introduce myself, on a personal level, but i jumped right in, commenting, making threads, and just immersing myself in this community.

  what a time, indeed, to be here, its almost as if i was "called" here, because the week i lurked, and joined, was when all this recent stuff came out.

  Dunedain- thank you for your story. I have no words.

  The elders in my judicial committees were doing their best to be merciful but the experience was still traumatic to say the least. Yours sounds absolutely horrific Especially for someone so young.

  Nice to meet you and genuinely looking forward to hearing more about your life and experiences.

  Thanks Steve2

  Rebelfighter - erm...what? I wasnt making any reference whatsoever to you or anything you have posted. I believe I simply referred to the original post on this thread.

  i do appreciate how inconsiderate wearing too much perfume may be to those who are sensitive. Someone once said to me that perfume should be discovered not announced...that said (and I can only go by the way I interpreted the original post) I kind of got the impression the OP was simply gloating over an opportunity to have a go at a couple of Witnesses, there was nothing interesting about it at all.

  In my book wearing too much perfume is not as obnoxious as someone being, well, obnoxious. Had the callers not been JWs would the OP still have been just as abrupt? If no, then this was bullying behaviour. If yes, then this has nothing to do with JWs, it's just about callers in general wearing too much perfume, and that makes the title of this thread a bit pointless really doesn't it?

  And by the way, I am technically an apostate ;)

  I didn't like this OP. No matter how thoughtless someone is by wearing too much perfume, they don't need to be subjected to aggression. If I'm honest my immediate thoughts about the OP when reading it were "what a horrible person looking for an excuse to shout at these people" and "some people need to get a life". Yes I know that's very judgemental of me, but I was raised JW and some traits are hard to shake off.

  But you know the most offensive thing about this? The title. It says "interesting visit" (sorry "intersting"). I was expecting some interesting debate, or an opportunity taken to wake up some JWs, but, no, this was just a boring excuse to belittle and intimidate a couple of strangers. Stereotypical apostate in fact ;)
