Some of the worst as far as business is concerned from my own personal experience was JWs. I guess they don't think they have to worry about being sued or having the authorities called on them when they do what they do to fellow members.

I'm a granny taking care of my 2-year-old grandson, while his mama is in school. My hubby on the other hand works at a company that does the breaking system of several different brands of vehicles.

I completely agree with Overrated. About two years ago I finally was able to break my thoughts free from their nonsense. But that does not mean I want to be reminded of what I left behind. It took me nearly a year but recently I was finally able to get this one JW to finally stop writing me in person. For some odd reason, they take it as a green light for them if you decide to be polite and have a conversation with them.

What Do You Think of Dr. Fauci?
by minimus inlast year millions of people were singing his praises.
what’s your opinion of him right now?.

Personally, I think he is a quack. In one interview he mentioned how he had been studying this virus family since the 1970s. If he truly was, then he would not be going back and forth on things to do or not to do. After that interview, I started to become critical in my thoughts on this person. My husband on the other hand said there was something he just did not like or trust when he heard him talk the very first time on TV.

Are You Confident With Covid Vaccines and What Officials Say Is The Right Thing To Do?
by minimus inmost of my friends have gotten the vaccines and are quite confident that it’s just what the doctor ordered.
i’m not confident with dr. fauci.
i don’t like the fact that the makers of the vaccines are not held responsible if someone taking the vac develops an illness or even death.

To answer the question in the title, I am not confident in what the officials are saying. I have seen and heard just too much conflicting information from many of the same people who are saying what they are saying. But after finally breaking free from the Watchtower I have become very critical in my thought about what people in the position of power say on any matter.

Why Do People Loot and Destroy When Someone Gets Shot?
by minimus insomeone gets shot and or killed and hundreds of people decide to loot and destroy businesses or whatever else is in their path.
what does this do to make things better?
i really don’t get how they think it makes things better or solves anything..

Why do people loot and destroy? Because they know they can get away with it. When laws are no longer being enforced, chaos rules. Personally, I would love to see those who are supposed to be enforcing the law, and I'm not talking about the police, but those above the police face consequences for their own actions on not doing their job that they were hired for.

How long did it take before you realized that you missed the obvious?
by pistolpete inremember when the public speaker in the kingdom hall or convention related the ten plagues and the parting of the red sea?.
the finale when jehovah closes the red sea and swallows pharaoh's entire army of egyptian men.. when i was a little kid about 5 years old and listened to this story, i would think---wow jehovah is strong.
when i started school and started learning compassion as early as the first grade i started wondering?????.

As a JW (grew up in the cult) I never really read through the bible much, but I knew all the stories like so many of us. I never gave much thought to them, not sure why. It was only after I had finally become an adult, married with my own children when things started to click. Still trying to be a "good" Christian at the time did I finally take a deeper look at what was in that book (the bible). In the new testament, Jesus said you know me you know the father. But everything I read in the old testament makes me think that the god of the bible was not some loving caring father. Although I never really understood what that meant because my own biological father was a total prick to me growing up. Instead, I came to the conclusion that the god of the old testament was either talking about multiple beings or one psychotic SOB who was all over the place.

When You Were A Witness Did You Believe Everything Taught?
by minimus inobviously at some point you stopped believing the witnesses had the truth or else you wouldn’t be here.
.
but for the most part, were you a true believer or were you typically a rebel or a doubter?

For a short period of time, I bought into their lies. I was raised up in it, mom got involved when I was four. Ultimately I left it for the same reason mom became a JW, and that was the 1975 lie. -

What is the most insensitive thing an Overseer or Elder has ever said and done to you?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inwhat is the most insensitive thing an overseer or elder has ever said and done to you?
i have had many insensitive things said to me by some elders, but for some reason one self-righteous elder was always on my case.
he didn't like the fact that i missed meetings, didn't like that i never went out in field service, that i didn't answer at the weekly meetings and he didn't like that i carried my books and magazines in my hands and not a service/book bag.

The most insensitive thing ever said to me didn't come from an elder or CO, but a Circuit Overseer's wife, well wife at the time. (They divorced sometime later.) Her name was Sister Shield, don't ask me her first name, because I have since forgotten. For some reason, this woman took a huge disliking to me. I was just married and had moved to my husband's town, and his congregation. On the first meeting, I was there when she was also there, she demanding why I was even attending this congregation, in a very unfriendly tone.
