  A day in the life of a Cop...my story. The truth.

  by Witness 007 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i work for a mental health unit with 2 police officers we deal with people who have drug and mental health issues.

  at times over the last 10 years we have "taken down" some large drug affected men, mainly "ice" these days which is epidemic here, and let me tell you even with three of us it is a huge struggle.

  sometimes back up is needed or mace spray which is aweful stuff!

  "It's the intent that counts and not the result."

  "it's the intent that counts not the result.".

  i have been out of the jw organization for some 22 years now and i sometimes get a reminding jolt out the hoops that some will jump through to make their religion make sense to them.

  the first line in this post is what a jw on the street here in salinas told me on saturday when trying to justify the society's history of false prophecies.

  More Elaborate Celebrations International Conv. Atlanta

  by NoMoreHustle in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  found this video of the entertainment preperation for the delegates in atlanta, u.s. this seems to be professionally done maybe outside sources or probably done by "professional" jw's.

  this is just like christendom or all the other religious organizations that they deem to be from the devil.

  the people seem to be very sincere in there efforts & is much appreciated,.

  First Post - Emotionally Torn

  by scaredtospeak in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i haven't been on here long but i found this site a couple days ago and quickly realised it had a lot of posts by people going through similar experiences as me.

  i read some of the answers and it helped relieve some inner anguish i've been carrying since everything i came clean to my parents about everything i've been reading about.. .

  i just have been going through a rough patch right now; that might be an under or overstatement depending on your own personal experiences with this kind of stuff.

  How do you get a word in edge-wise, when talking to a JW?

  by Faithful Witness in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just looking for some pointers, as i was never a jw.

  i have an elderette coming over on friday, for another performance.. last week, i was under the impression that she was coming to answer some questions i had.

  it quickly became clear that she came with a plan for the "conversation," and we went on an expedition from one passage of the bible to the next, while she made leaping claims, argued with herself and kept me confused and always with more than one question lingering in my mind, while she continued talking and talking.. when i have a conversation with someone, i tend to stop talking when they are speaking.

  Preparing for my next visit from my Elderette - Who (or what) is the Faithful & Discreet Slave, and why do JW's worship and follow a slave?

  by Faithful Witness in

  2. bible

  she is coming tomorrow afternoon, and i do plan to have a coherent mind and much better concentration this time.

  i was suffering from hypoglycemia last time she made a surprise visit, and i was foggy and literally could not comprehend a simple sentence i was reading.

  our plans are to discuss the topic of the fds.
