As people have already said, the Witnesses tend to focus on the 'truth' rather than the person. That said, the last two funerals i've been to at a Kingdom Hall have actually been somewhat balanced, which was suprising!

Don't let them bother you, or use you like this. I seriously hope you find a solution because it is totally unfair that you pay for these free loading hippies

The Watchtower will use any excuse to bring up "bad associations"
by sabastious inlive with jehovah's day in mind (pub 2006) pg 135. beware of bad associations!.
20 what can you young ones learn from the 12 prophets?
one of the most-quoted scriptures in discussions between you and your parents may be 1 corinthians 15:33 about avoiding bad associations.

I have made some pretty good moves forward in the social world. However, when I first came out I had a harder time with social stuff. I get called 'weird' a lot. It's going to take a few more years to get the Watchtower weeds out of my psyche.

My guess is you've only been out a few years at the most? You'll get there, it takes time and patience with yourself!

Mocking of the Organization from JWs
by NomadSoul inthis is what my aunt told me.. once an elder at the closing of the meeting said this about the revised reasoning book with a sarcastic voice.
"brothers and sisters don't forget to get your copy of the new reasoning book, it has over two hundred revisions!"..
my aunt swears he said it in a sarcastic mocking tone.. i thought it was funny so i had to ask if anybody else had similar stories..

Don't let them get you angry, because one day they will have to face the end of their life, complete with the old age they are so anxious to avoid.
