Look to what the good people are doing. Focus on this. If you feel you are able, get involved to help. Do not give the psychopaths anymore of your energy. Do NOT let them win.

So I'm supposed to listen and accept what this clown says? I think not:

I'm a cynical, sarcastic and curmudgeonly old bastard most of the time.
by nicolaou inbut as i move into my early 50's i find i'm more and more comfortable in my thick, leathery hide.. please get it into your thick skull's that i don't insult or make snarky comments with the intent of hurting anyone's feelings.
that being said, if your precious feelings are hurt it's probably your fault for being a prissy, over sensitive drama queen who can't defend his argument.. i do actually love you all, it's just that most of the time you spineless pussies really get on my nerves!.
good god i feel better for that!

What would happen ??
by Clambake inthere is a certain elder in my wives hall that has seemed to developed a real interest her.
first he seemed to feel a need to make sure all her blood cards were signed before she gave birth to our child.. he sends her text messages if she misses a meeting saying how much " we missed you last night ".
he finally sent her a text wondering where her oct hours were , knowing she had some pretty serious tears from child birth and could hardly even walk, much less do field service ".

Clambake... just my 2 cents here but this is how I would handle this situation.
One, be very clear with him that he needs to back off, to stop contacting your wife, and if he does not, he will be hearing from the police and your lawyer. Two, if he contacts your wife again after this request, go to the police, file a harrassment charge and speak to your lawyer.
I am not kidding about this. Bullies need to be dealt with pronto or this is going to get worse.
I personally do not have the time in my life to deal with people who don't want to listen to what I say. Anyone who wants to push me, gets a very stern and formal response that involves the threat of legaI action. I have used this a few times in my life. And it is amazing just how effective dealing the authorities card can be. I have never had to go through with the threat. But I would if I had to.

Makemeanunbeliever said: If one cant make their points without harsh profanity then it wont make deep inroads of change.
I do know what you mean Make. It's the people with too fragile a constitution. However, I have found, with age, comes profanity.
I never used to swear. Never. Now my fave word is the 'f' bomb followed by the 'w' word (whatever). I surmise it is because as we go through this life, the bullshit keeps piling higher and higher. When one's crap bucket gets to overflowing, and the stench and attracted insects, vermin etc are too much to bear, one begins letting the swear words fly.
Lewis Black is one of my faves. His Red, White, and Screwed show was great. Love the title on this one too... The Rant is Due. 'Red, White and Screwed'

JAMES WOODS is in the hospital (heart related)
by Terry injames woods has been a long time regular on this discussion group in all of its incarnations.. he had some kind of "heart-attack" and has been in dallas' emergency ward for several days.
he also has a blood clot doctors are working to break up.. 972-261-4412 is his cell number.. he was in a talking mood yesterday afternoon.. i bet it wouldn't kill him to get some well-wishes.. james goes back a long way as an ex-jw.

Why do most Christians churches have masonic and/or pagan symbols?
by kabwell inhas anyone looked at the local churches in their area and seen pagan and freemason symbols both inside and outside.
i am not a jw but at least they don't seem to follow this trend.
why do "christians" wear a symbol of torture and death ?

Just my 2 cents worth but if you're about to start a new religion/faith/belief system and you want to convince the masses to join, wouldn't you adopt a lot of their traditions as part of your agenda to convince them? -

Myth Dispelled! Leaving the Organization is NOT Leaving God
by LeftMyReligionToFindGod init's true, leaving the organization does not mean you leave god.
as someone who was raised in the "truth" i always heard the messaging that if you leave the organization you leave god and lose his protection.
after disassociating myself, i even believed that and began on a path of self-destructive behaviour as i was leaving behind every relationship i had ever known and very ill equipped to live in the "real world" growing up, i always felt there was a higher power and our purpose was more than living a few decades.

Catholic madly in love with a JW (cont'd)
by Luge62 inthose of you who read my last post, about two weeks ago, know i'm in a dilemma.
i did not run like some posts suggested.
i truly believe i found my soulmate.

Luge, there is no advice you can give her because she committed adultery. As a JW, she is not scripturally available to re-marry even if a divorce does happen.
But let's say the divorce happens and she goes against Botchtower and you 2 are together.
First off, you do realize, that JWs HATE Catholics, right? Second, she is going to live in guilt because her marriage didn't work out and she committed adultery. So she has a ton of crap to deal with. You're going to need to get her some professional counselling. Also, the JWs may hound her and will likely look to disfellowshipping her which means her family will then have to shun her.
You are in for one hell of a nasty, rough ride.
