I can't stomach talking to them, I get like a panic attack. I know how overbearing and pushy they can be. I'm afraid, if they had me convinced once (tho briefly!) they might fast talk me again. I just don't want anything to do with them. I'm sure some of the friendly sisters coming up the walk are sincere, but it also brings back the bad memories and the bad dreams.

Do you get stressed talking to JWs?
by jwfacts ini am a salesman, so will talk to anyone, anytime without fear.
but for some reason, everytime i need to speak to a jw i get a huge rush of nerves.. i also am an accountant and do tax returns, and this year lost most of my jw clients.
some went to another accountant in the congregation.

Did demons ever really rape some sisters?
by hambeak ini had a conversation last night with someone and we were reminescing about the late 60's and early 70's about how a couple of the sisters were telling at the time that they were being molested and sometimes raped by demons.
in our cong they were told to open the bible to a certain scripture and leave the bible open to it at all times and leave a light on.
anyone else remember some of this paranoia?

There was an elder's wife at our Hall, who claimed a presence came to her, even when her husband was in bed with her. She claimed to be overwhelmingly attracted to it, and couldn't stop it from using her body to satisfy its desires. They later discovered that the grandmother, who stayed upstairs, "dabbled in spiritism" gasp! After they got rid of Grandma and her stuff, the visitations stopped. Elderette became pregnant, and the child (unfortunately) was unmistakably hubby's.

We had a nasty blizzard in the Denver area, blowing snow and whiteouts. What a wonderful day to be off, just watching out the windows and getting another mug of cinnamon coffee! That was Thursday. Friday, it was sunny and warmed up to 63 degrees. Ideal, really. Pretty snow, no dirty snow later on!

They slam the Catholics for granting annullments, so people can remarry. Only the JW's just make them wait a year, then get reinstated, and everything's forgiven. What, please, is the big difference?

There's nothing worse than a Stupidvisor who's incompetent. I've got an ignoramus woman who can't spell to save her life, yet she's our boss, cuz she kissed butt. It doesn't do any good complaining therefore to her boss, whose gnarly ass she kisses.
Best thing we've discovered, is don't cover for these people. If they screw it up, let them fix it. If they forget to do it, oh well. Don't babysit them and remind them. Can you afford to try this, since there may be patients involved? If so, he'll quickly fall on his face, and have to shape up or ship out.
We used to go in our bosses office and remind her about her telecons and deadlines. Now, we let her do her job (or not) and we do ours.
And you can't go postal because I'M the postal employee here, lol! Sounds like it won't drag on much longer, tho...

When I was a child, Grandma used to have me stay over some weekends with her when Grandpa worked midnights. Behind their house, was a cottage Grandpa had built for his disabled sister and her "caregiver." The caregiver claimed to be annointed. These two women had lived together for forty years, and were like a married couple. I always wondered! Anyway, the annointed sister was really scary to me, as a child. She had a wart, and was really sour and nasty, and I thought she looked like a witch. She made catty, mean comments about people, including Grandma, in her sly silky voice. They were just a wierd pair, and I dreaded the mandatory visit to say hello to them when I went to Grandma's.
Grandma didn't like them either, and muttered comments about their odd ways. She wasn't too keen about them always wanting her to cook a big meal and deliver plates to them in the back. She'd tell me just to get the hello over with so we could watch TV. I definitely never felt anything especially spiritual about Sister Annointed Caregiver.

I finally did the right thing
by cyberdyne systems 101 ini had been friendly to a woman i met recently and wanted to take things further, but found out she was with someone when i asked if she wanted my number.
i bumped into her again two weeks later and she then asked for my number, so i asked her again was she with someone, she said yes but she could still text me.
my gut reaction through mistakes i have made in the past was to not get involved.

That was very brave of you. It's hard to do the right thing sometimes, but it makes you feel good. Anyway, just think, if you got together with her, would she be secretly texting some other guy?

Yep, God forbid the Kinkdumb Hell should resemble a social club....it'd be the only social club those poor people get, and now they're taking that away too! This reminds me of an earlier thread about how some fun was permitted in the 70's and 80's, and how it's all been squashed.
Again, I ask, how do they keep anybody???

I don't care if gay people get married, like anyone else. I just say, "Be careful what you ask for!" I think they're focused on the perceived joys of marriage, and some will inevitably discover the pain of divorce, as well. But they asked for all the same joy and pain and rights to experience alimony, visitation fights over the kids, divorce court, reduced standard of living after selling the family home, attorney fees, etc. It will be interesting, ten years from now, to see if the bloom is off the rose!
For those who press on into happily ever after, I wish them all the best. Just be careful it's everything you thought it would be!
When my partner and I split in the 90's, she just bought out my share of the house, signed over one of the cars to me, and life went on for her and her new girlfriend. Painful, but no lawyers or divorce court. I compare the relative ease with which we parted ways with how complicated a split could be if my husband and I got a divorce...lawyers, court, a judge dividing assets, someone getting stuck with the bills, months of waiting, changing my name back on documents and checks if I so chose, the house and cars, the retirement investments, etc.... no simple "I met someone else, and I'm moving out this weekend."
T'will be interesting...

Moving to where the need is great
by Lady Lee inmany jws sold their homes and moved across country to serve where the need was great.
in the last couple of years i have remembered several people who moved from western canada to quebec where we were told the need was great out west.
some sacrificed their families, friends to go it alone.

My cousin flops back and forth between home, with her parents, and Paraguay. She goes to where the need is mucho for awhile, then Daddy flies her back home. She is close to thirty, has shown no interest in marriage, or getting a job and her own place. Yet, the congo is so proud of her, doing Jehoopla's missionary work. Or whatever they call it nowadays. I think she's avoiding growing up and standing on her own two feet.
