TRICKY SITUATION update
by bay64me insome of you responded to a recent thread http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=35873&site=3.. last week i was confronted by the lady next door asking me if i had reported her to the social services.
i had not and told her so.
she then went on to say that although her partner and her did have loud arguments, the children were not at risk.

DRESS TO IMPRESS?
by bay64me inmost years, my old congregation would get asked for volunteers to clean and garden our assembly hall.. as you all well may have observed, at such occasions at your hall, all the youngsters would use this oppertunity to show the opposite sex, just what they looked like in their 'civvys' (leisure-wear) !.
i knew one sister that used to make her own clothes and would make this, sort of andy-pandy suit.
she would use some sort of candy-striped bed linen-sort-of-material, usually pastel coloured and make a kind of all-in-one romper-cum-knicker-bocker-pedal-pusher-number?

MIND RAPE?
by bay64me ini read something recently, possibly, (no probably) here, on the subject of mind rape.
my encounter with the jws was kind of self inflicted, i.e.
i was not brought up in it.. i am sort of coming to the conclusion, that is meaning, that with my association with the witnesses and reading here, that those that were introduced to this particular form of mind control later on in life, seem to be more adversly affected mentally than those that have the misfortune of being 'brought up in the faith'.

TRICKY SITUATION
by bay64me ini got new neighbours a couple of months ago.
to get straight to the point, i'm sure the husband is knocking his wife about.
i can hear him shouting and screaming and loud thuds and bangs, sometimes late at night and even last week he was so loud that he actually woke me up at 7.30 in the morning with his behaviour.. i really feel intimidated by him.

WobbleHead
by bay64me ini'd like to dedicate this post to a wobble-headed 'brother' that i once shared congregations with.. he, (being a ministerial servant son of an elder,) age=approx 28,obviously had a magnitude of social deficiencies, most of which were tolerable as, we could choose when we were in his immediate company.. his main problem was his short fuse when around children as he seemed to deem it necessary to pin them up against a wall and slap them across the face while out on field service!
(which is pretty bad in itself.
}......but that's a story for another time!.

What pisses you off about elders wives?
by bay64me in.
the elders wife that really pisses me off, is the one that would boastfully announce that jehovah had provided her husband with a part-time teaching job, emphasising that his employment was "on the line" each year....but thanks to jehovah,(in other words) we are so fucking loyal and do many hours in field service and things that nobody could possibly know about ( but i'm letting you know indirectly) so my husband has an income to assist us in our pioneer service!

phonecall from mormon re PANORAMA
by bay64me ina call from a mormon friend expressing her disgust at last nights panorama programme.
while i share her disgust at the despicable treatment these abuse victims endured, i also felt a burning rage at her, (my friend) for her apparent smugness in her attitude that such a thing would <strong>never</strong> happen within the confines of her religion.</p>.
<p>my rage came as a bit of a surprise to me, as i thought i'd never feel that way about jws exposure.

SOMETHING THAT IRRITATES ME
by bay64me inok, so it's maby to be viewed as a minor irritation but annoying all the same.
i can't help getting peed off when i see tv programmes showing music clips and videos that were out when i was in!.
it makes me sad to think that i missed out on so much good stuff, when all the while i thought i was keeping myself "unspotted" by not having any part of the world!.

TIME OF THE END?
by bay64me ini get a visit from an elder every couple of months.
he drops off a few magazines and chats for half an hour or so, but never gets into gossip (of course.
)so, its rare that i get to hear what's really going on.. i do pick up a few real experiences from a good friend who's still in, but by the time she tells me, it's history anyway!

EVIL OR NAIVE?
by bay64me induring my former days of pioneering, there was a particular gentleman that used to take the magazines regularly.
on one of our visits to him, he produced a cutting from a national newspaper that had a story of a jw elder that had been found guilty of some sexual assault on minor children.. the "sister" i was with, gave what i imagine would be the usual response, ie.
comparisons to the catholic church and how they cover it up and move the priests on, whereas jws deal with the matter and disfellowship such a person.. i, on the other hand, said that the story could not possibly be true, believing at that time, that no person that was a shepherd in gods loving organisation could possibly be guilty of such a crime!
