JW's ruin my dinner.

moshe

I took my family to Red Lobster tonight and shortly after we were seated ( it was about 5 pm- early) a large party came in and took up two tables next to us. One young woman had a very loud laugh and because of that I kept looking at their table. Then I noticed a young black couple with a toddler- then I noticed all the men had suits and ties- then I noticed three single men were sitting together and three single women next to them- and finally one young couple that I decided were married. The more I watched the more agitated I became- The dress styles of the women looked straight out of a Watchtower. I paid my check and I hung back behind my wife and daughter long enough to make this comment to the table- " Excuse me, but I am testing my psychic ability- Are you Jehovah's Witnesses?" The answer was a "Yes". They all had big smiles when I had guessed they were JW's- probably later, they will decide because of my "psychic comment" that Satan had told me who they were. Anyway, I don't know why I was upset by a big table full of JW's yucking it up and drinking beer, but I was upset for an hour afterwards. Has anyone else had something like this happen?

peace,

Moshe

One time we had a meet-up of ex-jw's at a local tavern a few years ago. Well we were all blasting the Society and talking about how stupid we had been as JW's and we were all having a grand time. There was about 12 of us. Well we noticed at another table there was some very dressed up people staring at us like we were demon worshippers. So we all started looking at them and finally one of the guys at our table asked them "Are you Jehovah's Witnesses?" in a friendly but loud voice. Well they jumped out of their chairs and ran to the Hostess and next we saw them they were seated clear across the tavern at a secluded table all whispering and looking at us. Well we all lifted our beers and gave them a nice loud toast to being blind, all the time laughing our butts off. We had a wonderful time and those dumb people really believed we were the devils pawn.

We were very please to put on a good show for those bible thumping JW who sat so bold and confident of their righteousness.

" Excuse me, but I am testing my psychic ability- Are you Jehovah's Witnesses?" The answer was a "Yes".

And their version of the story will be that a demon possessed person freaked out yelling "The demons stopped talking to me tonight because they knew Jehovers people were in the same restaurant."

Not yet Moshe. But I did get the strangest look from a clerk at the pharmacy in town. She looked at me at the counter with my beard and just about fainted. But she had to control herself because there were other customers next to me. I loved it, cause I know she wanted to shun me in the worst way. ( not yet DF'd but surely marked ) . I just said my hello how are you's and went my way.

AND, I was getting ready to unload on them ,too- when my wife looked back and gave me that "don't you dare" look. I was going to ask them if the had heard any good oxymorons like " Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail"?- after a 3 second pause I was going to say " and I hear , the #1 oxymoron is "Jehovah's Witness Truth"! I'm pretty sure that joke would have wiped the smiles right off their faces.

I have had something like this happen. I know what you mean about the unexplained upset feeling.

Once I went to a funeral for a student of mine, and it was held in a funeral home. The funeral service was to be first done in Spanish and then in English.

I was upset to start with because I had lost a student with his whole life ahead of him. It was so very sad. :( Before the funeral stared some horrible music played. It reminded me of JW music. It made me uncomfortable. Then the Spanish part of the service began. I listened, trying to pick out parts I understood. I recognised some scriptures, etc. I imagined the speaker talking about how this young man was now in a better place, and so on. It was such a sad, sad situation....

Then the English part of the service started. The speaker said that the Bible tells us that people who die may be brought back to paradise Earth, blah blah blah........and I realized with a shock that this was a JW funeral! I actually JUMPED out of my seat and walked quickly out of the funeral home...it was an involuntary act! I just jumped up and ran...oh and I cried. Outside of the funeral home, I looked at all the people milling about, and I finally noticed all the NWTs and cheap suits and I almost felt like throwing up.

I don't know why. I don't know why this upset me so much. After a few minutes I was fine and I went back in and listened to the rest of the 'talk.' the people I came with thought I was nuts, I'm sure.

I still don't know why it created such huge feelings in me. I bothered me for a while. I thought of this right away when I read your post about your unexplained feelings about the JW group you ran into. I guess maybe post traumatic stress syndrome?

I have been dreading a moment like that is in the near future for some time now Moshe, I feel for you

Excuse me, but I am testing my psychic ability- Are you Jehovah's Witnesses?" The answer was a "Yes". They all had big smiles when I had guessed they were JW's-

I see JWs quite frequently and my husband is always surprised when I point them out. Its not that difficult. I don't stay upset, but my blood starts pumping faster as I think of something witty to say. I haven't actually said something. . . yet.

Perhaps you could have told them you were an apostate -- just to ruin their dinner.

Hey moshe brace yourself ((((((((sqeeeez)))))))) 'scuse me bro, I'm an excitable guy and that was very funny!

Being recognised as JWs by strangers is another mind-control mechanism implanted deep within the JW brain.

I doubt they gave a passing thought to your inner demons but your comment would have made them feel proud (it's all about them you know

moshe

Apostate? That would have worked,too! Why was I upset? Beats me- some Deja Vu thing- crossed brain synapses from some previous bad 'JW get out of the KH bad experiences'? I also think I was wanting to shake some sense into them- being a JW is not good for you or your family- WAKE UP PEOPLE!- but you just can't go up to strangers in a public place and do that - they won't listen anyway.

peace,

Moshe

JW's ruin my dinner.
