  Jehovah Witnesses, Elders or Elderettes, Which Sex Was More Wicked In Your Experience?

  by PokerPlayerPhil in

  i would have to say i've seen more wicked elder-ettes and jw women than men, the women can hold grudges forever and they can't forgive even the smallest sin their fellow jw commit-ed against them!.

  i wish i could share the details about my aunt and how evil she is and why all her brothers and sisters hate her with a vengeance.

  the kingdom hall she attend's is the world's worst kingdom hall, it's created a poison that's killed off dozens of good witnesses who left the organization because the elder-ettes and their kiss-ass coat-tail riding followers treated everyone outside of their clique like shit!

  This sounds familiar, but you've left out the serpent.

  Do You Think Humanity Will Ever Be Completely Free From Religion?

  i realize that many here still have a form of spirituality or faith, and i mean no disrespect to those individuals.

  i suppose i am posting this question to those, like myself, who have come to the conclusion that religion in general is a major hindrance to the progress of our species and needs to be put aside so that we can advance to our full potential.

  so my question is, do you think this will ever actually happen, and how do you think we can get there?

  If I close my eyes, can picture a Star-Trek type of Utopia, where we can all do work that fulfills our soul, and be one with the planet.

  Ah, dreams ... I know, it's a fantasy. But, if it ever came true, I want to be Janeway!

  Sorry, But Your Sad Story Doesn't Make Me Feel Better. Is it supposed to?

  i have very recently come out of a bout of severe depression which lasted for years.

  i have ginormous underlying issues which i hardly talk about, especially to my family.. today my sister came in, wanting to force me to do something she wanted.

  her strategy was to make me feel bad for feeling bad, just to show me that my problem (which she has no idea of but thinks she does) wasn't the biggest in the world.

  Some folks will minimize your experience. That is wrong.

  We can't measure how we feel .. by degree. What is devastating to me, may be not such a big deal to you. And vice-versa.

  And that's normal. : )
  
  Take a deep breath, focus. Let no one tell you how to feel.

  i've watched the reaction to the nepal disaster for the first time with eyes opened.

  lots of comments about praying for the brothers and sisters affected.

  the official release on the website references only the sister and her two children that died, along with the impact on the brothers there.

  I'm always analyzing life, and this struck me.

  It follows through in their personal lives. When someone is disfellowshipped, what do you hear?
  
  "Oh, I'm gonna miss them so much."
  
  When you go to a funeral (I did it once, my Grampy, and NEVER again)..... what do they say "I missed you.... *weep weep* phoney bastards ... ) Please come back ... we miss you!"
  
  They don't miss you when you are going to school, working full time, and working your way up.

  The JWS promotes self-absorption to the penultimate.
  
  ACK, I just threw up in my mouth.

  Why are people burning their city to the ground in Baltimore? How doe Looting and Mob Violence Help?

  it's hard enough for businesses to enter these areas the government once had to offer up tax breaks to service them.

  in watts, california it took decades for city residents to get a grocery store after the thugs burned their businesses to the ground.

  you can see the insanity taking place, when you allow mobs and fools to burn building down nothing good comes from it.

  effect of shunning

  by lancelink in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have read quite a bit on this site about the effect of shunning, mainly how the person being shunned reacts to it.

  and then there is the wt reaction, how everything is the df'ed persons fault.. well, i ran across this article today.

  some might think it is way too off base with the drug problem that this girl faced.. but the point i got out of it is how important it is to help the person with the problem instead of walking away and expecting that ignorance will cure the problem.

  The pain of feeling utterly alone. I can easily understand the need to escape that.

  It's hard to *not* want to escape pain.
  

  It's a strange thing about our society (to me). We fail to acknowledge that behaviour has causation, and issues are better resolved than ignored - both on a personal and societal level.

  Ditto to Viviane. Our styles may clash, but we agree on most things.

  I see the url I posted didn't embed ... there was no comment required, as the headline and pictures tell it all. Maybe I didn't click something properly, my mouse is sticking, and my apologies.

  I would be most grateful if someone could post it up for me. Or is this not like music videos? ; )

  One pic was of the Vancouver Stanley Cup riot. Burning police cars, destroying property, you name it......... but they were just 'letting off steam'.

  There were eleven news stories with violent riots, major stuff,,,,, all at sports events. Yes, people were upsset and horrified,, but why are there no videos of police brutality splashed all over the internet?
  

  20years_to_get_free Yes. *thumbs up to all you said*

  this is not meant to inflame, but to inform, and show a point of view about the biased reporting, and treatment of the rioters by police
