What does shunning acomplish?

by poopie in

well in order to shun someone you must dehumanize them much like what occurred in slavery.

dehumanizing someone now allows you treat them worst then an animal.

and now you can justify ignoring them there not human anymore.

I know what I done may of perhaps been unethical or bordering on illegal but OMG was it so satisfying.

i had an ultra orthodox jw relative ask me to fill out his census form on the computer.

while i was filling it out i thought %u#k you wt i'm not going to let you have the satisfavtion of making claim to a member in this country.

so i ticked no religion for the box that asks what religion you identify with.

So I ticked no religion for the box that asks what religion you identify with.

No worries, good statisticians know well how to factor all that in. No harm done. Consider yourself part of the percent of error.

Idiotic Thread On A Cult Site

by FedUpJW in

so as is my habit when i need a good laugh at stupid chat forum threads i popped in to the jay double u talk site and happened on this hilarious thread.

of course i have not read the whole thing, it was just too mentally painful to read those nitwits "reasoning"about "music".. why jehovah's witnesses do not use drums.... .

That's some morbid way of having a laugh... I love it.

Republicans Are Not Welcome!

by minimus in

the owner of the used apple store in derry new hampshire has put on his facebook that republicans are evil and they are not welcome in his store.

he has done tv interviews now saying that republicans simply should not try to come in and he can generally tell if someone is a republican.

it is interesting that a business owner can bar someone because of their political opinions but if a business owner conscientiously couldn’t make a cake for a gay couple,they are in legal jeopardy..

This is racism of the worst kind!

LOL! Republican is a race now according to you!

About the OP: Interestingly, and for some bizarre reason that I fail to find, some people have mistaken me for a conservative republican. I have no clue as to why that is. People really establish judgement based on whatever is in their mind and makes sense to them. Doesn't give them the right to disrespect people, nor to violate the law, but all of us establish judgement one way or another. I mean, some people think that republican is a race. WTF can you say to that?

Thanks, but no thanks!

by FadeToBlack in

that was essentially my reply to a recent sms i got from the elder of the group i am supposed to be in, requesting a visit to encourage me and get to know me better.

my wife has been attending english language meetings in warsaw for the last year or so (i have never been) and i think they are getting antsy about where i stand.

i've met many of them at events my wife hosted at our house, but so far nobody has pressed me on the issue of my inactivity.. at one of the events, an elder mentioned that he'd heard i 'had been' a jw for many years and he was curious what first attracted me to the org.

Great way dealing with them. Now, if they would just go away...

And suddenly that matters because it's republicans? The rest of the real world deals with that on a daily basis. What's your point?

Priming the Pump

by days of future passed in

the definition of priming the pump, is put to water manually into the casing of the pump so that it will create a seal and draw the water up.

it's a term used for economics but i like to use it when i am trying to hopefully help a jw, escape.

i view it as a long term endeavor.. whenever there are videos for upcoming conventions, i'll try to work the main theme into a conversation with them.

One more thing: as noble as you might think that what you are doing is, you can also cause harm to people. If you do not acknowledge that your greatly-intended thoughts and actions can cause harm, can be misconstrued, can backfire, and can hurt other people, you will be doing a disservice.

Remember: The road to hell is paved with good intentions. There are reasons why that saying exists. Good luck.
