Just found out a Witness works with me-ruined my day
by Quandry in

i work in an elementary school as a very low paid teacher's aide.

of course, most of the staff are teachers who are paid three times my salary and have at least a college degree, many with a master's.

every day i have to face the fact that i followed the "godly wisdom" from the gb and didn't get higher education (except the degree equivalent from reading all the wts and awakes-i haven't gone to personnell to see how that would work out).. this morning, a fellow aide that i rarely see was coming in the door at the same time i was.

i know all about putting people in various categories so that they can't see certain things.

for instance, my clients cannot see certain photos (like from my bff's bachelorette party...hahhaha).

jw's cannot see my religious preference.

What was your most embarassing WTF experience with a fanatical witness??
by Reality79 in
1. jw
2. experiences
we've all known those fanatical witnesses who are guilty of pdf (public display of faith) and always have to make a big song and dance to the whole world and let everyone and their dog know they're a faithful witness of jay hoover!.

1) when my mother first came in 'da troooof' this wacky, over zealous 'sister' was studying with her - you know the type.

this woman was one of those not so subtle individuals who would always talk loud in conversation and say the name jehovah a million times even when the conversation could have been about basketball.

Considered rebellious because I choose to think for myself
by LovelyEunie in
1. jw
2. friends
hi all, this is my first post.

but i was one of those kids that was born into the whole jw thing, and like a good little witness kid i did everything i was supposed to do to please my parents (mainly my mom my dad's an unbeliever).

my mom was very strict with me when it came to everything they taught, no holiday parttys at school, no sports, no worldy friends, i was only supposed to associate with other jw kids (my mom is one of those extremist jws, she says she doesn't judge, but she's a perfect example of one one of those sisters with the holier than thou attitude).

the elders called me friday night, and i hung up the phone.

you see i changed my voicemail to the automatic message just in case someone calls me who i do not want to talk to and i want them to think they might have the wrong number.

when my phone went off i answered hello how can i help you?
