  What have been some of the funniest local needs talks that you have heard?

  by DaPriest in

  i remember once in berlin south germany there was a local needs part for the men only, and how they should use the toilet.

  in all seriousness for ten minutes a retarded nigerian was going on about how men need to sit down when using the toilet.

  no mention of anything else.. it transpired that some little kraut boy from an "interested" family would aim for the side of the toilet and leave a great big puddle for others to clean up.

  Less burning rubber, more just dumb drivers pulling out in front of oncoming traffic.

  Not a funny story, but I pleaded with the special pioneer I mention from time to time to have someone deliver a local needs talk about exiting the KH driveway safely without nearly causing an accident. I told him I'd seen too many near misses and it reflected badly and it was dangerous.

  It didn't happen.

  @scratchme1010, naturally. I see that in her case, my friend's case, and in both of my brothers to differing extents.

  The reaction I get from my brother whenever I try and be normal like handing him coffees and sandwiches at my uncles funeral is absolute blazing anger. He seems so angry with me and yet I don't even try to phone him anymore and I certainly don't 'apostate' at him. I am doing nothing to him at all yet all this rage.

  Oh god, preach.

  I have 2 brothers. One is disfellowshipped (Call him Agent K), the other is now a super-duper JW (Agent J).

  Agent K texted Agent J and I a picture of our old house. I replied positively, like hey cool. Agent J railed on him and proclaimed that he is the greatest of us and that he has become the son our Father knew him to be, how DARE he text him while disfellowshipped!!! (???) Agent K told me this, I said exactly what should be said: "Fuck him."

  Think about what they could use their money for

  religions wealth has always made me squirm.

  from the catholic church, with its golden city and priceless relics, to the mormons and their absurd temple and huge big fat bank account.

  the jw's are the same.

  @Rainbow_Troll, that is a marvelous answer to the Problem of Suffering. Why does God allow suffering? Because religion needs to happen.

  @cobweb, that gets into the other component of this story: Sally and those like her are fine with other co-workers and customers. No problems there. (Actually, I must add that JWs do not tend to be the best employees as the WTBTS has claimed, but I digress.)

  But the fader? The ex-JW? All frowns. Do they really think they'll convert the co-workers they've had for years? Am I somehow a threat to that notion?

  And yeah, I had to face my identity as well when TTATT became undeniable. I was cracking under the pressure until I did so.

  Post war paranoia - or - The Truth Will Make You Nuts

  check out this wacko bs from the 1943 'the truth shall make you free' book:.

  page 342-343in the postwar "new order" jerusalem's modern counterpart, "christendom," will surround herself with armies of an international police force for her continued world domination.

  the roman catholic hierarchy will attempt to act as the.

  If one prediction fails, just keep spewing until something sticks.

  Before the ten horns of the seven-headed beast turn upon her in retribution, organized religion will turn the horns against Jehovah's witnesses and will ride the beast in a final savage charge against them . ... (illustration)
  Therefore "Christendom" will use her postwar "new order" and her encompassing armies (Jesuitic as well as military) for the suppression of the Kingdom message. She will claim it is treasonable and disturbing and unsafe to the postwar rule.
  

  I think this is interesting, only because JWs currently predict they will survive and be persecuted AFTER Babylon the great is shut down. Here, it is BEFORE, which is interesting because JWs today are citing Russia as evidence BEFORE Babylon the great has been shut down.

  Bunch of wingnut nonsense.

  But when someone just walks away from the religion because they realized they had been lied to for instance, they really hate it
  

  Indeed, I do not have "hurt feelings" or "selfish longing" other than the natural need for freedom and individuation (two things the WTBTS obviously opposes). And exactly, @tepidpoultry.

  This all sounds familiar, doesn't it?

  If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.

  (John 15:19, NIV)
