  Bullied At School

  just curious about the rest of you.

  i was bullied quite badly throughout my school years because of being a witness and not participating in religious holidays, sporting celebrations, assembly (worship), and the like.. it was mostly from other pupils but there were a couple of teachers who definitely treated me badly.

  that was back when uk teachers still caned pupils or were allowed to hurl the heavy wooden blackboard duster across the room at them.... i still have ptsd flashbacks on some of those events even after 50 years!

  Totally understand!

  My little brother really was a little guy.

  He had it so easy. Anytime anyone picked on him he told them who his big brother was and they instantly left him alone.

  He said when I left school two years before him, it got very tough for him as he had lost his bodyguard!!!

  Happy days!!!

  I was bullied, but fought back.

  Little did I know the head bully I won after a major fight in my first vicious scrap was the school's toughest guy.

  I had no more trouble with any more bullies for the rest of my school years after that.

  Tried to live like those young brothers and sisters from Japan who placed 30 wt bible story books every month in school, but it was no good - I was a scrapper and I was not bothered by anyone even though I was a JOE- BO!!!

  "He probably won't get involved (unless it's very high profile) because he won't get laid."

  Sorry, I misread the above until I put my reading specs on..

  our witness friend who during covid grew his beard has been hassled by elders who asked him "why" he chose to have facial growth.

  he for real, had to give an answer why.

  this is pharasees total rubbish.

  They are a high control cult masquerading as a religion - try to politely leave them and see what happens!!!

  Don't know why it has affected me so much, but the news made me feel so sad.

  I went out and bought myself a decent bottle of single highland malt to pay my respects..

  Goodness me - what a humongous pile of vitriolic bile from L.E.

  Straight after watching the whole 'Pursue Peace' convention in its entirety too...

  Wow that patron number is low - wonder how low it will have to get before Lloyd considers building up a window cleaning round?

  I think Lloyd was lucky not to get beaten up for his litter rant - can you imagine the way he probably went about it!!!
