  Sorry for the occasional unintentional 'dislike'

  by paul from cleveland in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  i read this forum on my phone so occasionally, as i'm scrolling down the page, i accidentally touch the 'dislike' button on a comment.

  i don't have the option to 'undislike' after i touch it.

  once i touch the button, i can't change it.

  Simon: There's no "cancel' option but you can change your vote - if you clicked dislike then clicking like will change it.

  Good to know. Wish I'd known that earlier, but at least I know it now!

  one of the least discussed aspects of bullying and mobbing, and perhaps the most powerful and damaging, is the practice of shunning.

  The impact of shunning is ... debilitating [to] even the strongest people once it commences

  It knocked me down for a while. But once I got back up, no JW dared come near me again.

  They are all afraid of me, very afraid, as they should be.

  Know who you are and no one can control you.

  I joined six years ago, so I guess from your perspective I'm a "newbie."

  Welcome back.

  Any change with your daughters?

  I've lost two children myself to the cult.

  I hate this fucking religion!

  looking back we had been fading without even realizing it.

  life happened...and we weren't regular.

  then we woke up and have actively been fading for 9 months.

  Dunedain: WELL, guess what, the "other woman", was the brothers SISTER.

  That happened to me once.

  People really need to learn to mind their own fucking business.

  It was actually pretty funny watching the idiot that was accusing me of impropriety squirm when I turned the tables and pointed out that he was a paranoid, suspicious meddler.

  No One on GB Anointed

  what if no one on the governing body is truly anointed?

  what if they just proclaim they are anointed and partake in order to gain authority, but they are not anointed?

  what will happen to them when they die?

  None them are anointed with anything but insanity.

  one of the businesses i cover is owned by jws and the father and 2 sons knew me as an active brother until 3 years ago when i told one of them i no longer attend the meeting.

  today the father and one of the sons asked me if i was still inactive.

  i told them it has been more than 5 years since i last been at a meeting.

  Tell him you'll watch the monthly broadcast if he agrees to watch Geoff Jackson's "guest appearance" before the Australian Royal Commission.

  Then you can compare notes.

  NVR2L8: Because I was on company time and will be returning to conduct business I just couldn't hit them with the real issues that made me leave the cult.
  

  So you won't mix religion and business, but they have no problem doing it.

  Glad you took the higher road.

  Care Home Exclusively for JW's "Inadequate" and "Unsafe".

  The employment application for the Jah-Jireh home in Pennsylvania specifically asks for a congregation name.

  That is clearly discriminatory and therefore in violation of US Federal Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Laws, in particular Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
