  When a JW relative came to visit . . . .

  by skeeter1 in

  for those of you who are shunned, it is in disguise a blessing.

  becuase when you are not shunned, jws come to visit.

  it is the most tiresome hosting you will ever endure.. for the first 2 1/2 days, it was straight talk about "jehovah", the "organization", the "bible", then, "how bad these times are", "can't wait to see someone dead in the new world" .

  skeeter1; your thread touched me. It sounds like standard witness speak.

  Have you met up with b & s you havent seen for a long time? What is the first thing that comes to mind? They said they would keep in touch with you and have not. Whats the first thing you notice. They havent changed the conversation is the same almost to the word. They will do a rundown on their kids and whoever and whatever the are doing and approved people will be described as "very spiritual". Check you dictionary for "spiritual": they mean obedient/never miss a meeting/ say the right words/ wear the right clothes.

  Scully" Has just said it true. JW are so "sheltered and un-educated and poorly informed about the goings on in the world that they seriously do not have anything else to talk about."

  are elders required to report domestic violence to law enforcement?

  what if children are involved?

  i am wondering if the elders will report a situation to police or dcfs here in california.

  There is the established process of not calling in the Police over paedophiles so a battered adult is never going to get help.

  Photography and HDR

  by ILoveTTATT in

  as i have mentioned before, i love photography, and specially a technique called hdr.

  hdr stands for high dynamic range, and it means the ratio of the "lightness" of the lightest spot in the picture to the darkest.. .

  the financial aid offer came in.. the first year of attending is actually cheaper than what we were going to pay at the state university after their scholarship offer.. i mean, really cheaper.. we would be fools to turn it down.. they are even flying him in for the preview week.. .

  Nephew Giving Once-Big-Shot-Elder Financial Aid

  by snowbird in

  2. experiences

  my nephew is a graduate of an alabama university and harvard.. he didn't listen to the warnings about seeking higher education, and has a good job.. the elder sunk himself trying to keep his son, who did not apply himself in school, out of prison.. it's a sad situation, but it shows how foolish the wt's directives can be.. sylvia.

  I can see this becoming more and more the norm as those who followed the wts directives on education and are now in financial despair will sponge off the ones who made the effort to get an education/qualification instead of going back to the wts and saying 'help me please I did all you asked' and, while getting help from the educated ones (who they probably shunned) will continue to do all the borg tells them to do.
