    How JWs bend over backwards pretending to be super nice,

    super caring, super open minded and reasonable to strangers

    at the door, strangers at the supermarket, or on TV drumming up publicity for

    the conventions. But when they run into someone they have decided is

    "weak" or "bad association" they are super judgy jerks.

    All because some assholes in NY (no offense NY) decided that they were

    chosen out of all of mankind to be the worlds moral "hall monitor".

    Just saw a "sister" in the grocery store and she was sure to let me know

    that there is watchtower coming up talking about

    "all the ways we can let satan in" and how

    "he finds a weakness and then exploits it"

    I'm like all

    " oooh does he really, oh he is a naughty boy"

    BTW sarcasm is lost on these people.

    They'll spend 15,000 hours in Field Service Starbucks/McDonalds trying to recruit a new member but they won't spend 15 minutes to visit a weak or discouraged or doubting JW.

    "all the ways we can let Satan in"

    Did she happen to mention false Prophets running a religious publishing house. ?

    I hear you.

    No one is supposed to talk to me but the chance to lob a zinger at an apostate was just too much for an old friend/sister. When he saw me at the Farmers Market she came up and said

    " What is WRONG with you? What is WRONG with you?"

    I barely had time to say the word "Nothing." Because she was gone. Just like that.

    I do hate it.

    The thing is, with me, when I first started doubting I really did want to have

    an open honest conversation with someone about how I was feeling.

    But they run screaming from honest dialogue.

    Now, I realise they actually did me a favor, because I got on the internet

    and figured it out for myself.

    If the "bible-studies" only knew the H--- that awaits them in the KH, once the love-bombing will have worn thin.

    So very very true!

    The use of terminology such as "plodders" or "weak" " or "lacking in faith" or "spiritually weak" etc when describing those who are "less active" is almost a daily witness occurance!

    In my day they were referred to by elders as the "Hawaiians" (weaky-sicky-newies)
