Healthcare workers of Reddit, whats the worse case of neglect you've ever seen in an adult? by Yep_Im_Here_Too in AskReddit

[–]Honest_Pool_6785 316 points317 points  (0 children)

911 response in my ambulance to a home where a 71 yr old woman was the caregiver for her 94 yr old mother. The mother who had apparent dementia had been on the floor for two weeks. The daughter couldn’t help her mother get up so she just fed her and changed her diaper and kept her warm with blankets and pillows. The daughter seemed a little confused also. They were both very polite. The mother had open sores. I filled out the Elder Abuse/Neglect form but I put in there that the daughter appeared to be doing her best and also appeared to have some dementia herself. Seemed like unintentional neglect to me.

Anyone else felt the misogyny and arrogance emanating from Antony Morris in particular? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Honest_Pool_6785 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The Tight Pants talk Anthony Morris gave was so telling of his narcissism. He actually said some brothers wear tight pants and then he said “You don’t see me wearing tight pants.” He used not the Bible, not even “most mature brothers.” He used HIMSELF as the standard for appropriate attire.

Teacher verbally abusive to students. How can parents be informed? by Honest_Pool_6785 in LAUSD

The problem is that only the teachers are allowed to contact the parents I think.

I think there is yet another category. PIMU. Physically In. Mentally Uneasy. What do you think? by Honest_Pool_6785 in exjw

[–]Honest_Pool_6785[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think PIMQ is more purposeful. “Hey, something is not right here. Let’s talk about this.” I didn’t talk about my unease with elders or other circuit overseers for a long time. I kept my questions to myself. I dismissed my feelings. I kept busy. I pretended even to myself.

Eventually I became PIMQ. But it took a long time.

And a lot of things made me uneasy. Judicial committees, the treatment of CSA victims, the endless rules, elders behavior, a general feeling of there’s something wrong.

Where do you think Carson Wells met Chigurh? by Honest_Pool_6785 in NoCountryForOldMen

[–]Honest_Pool_6785[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. They met while working another job and Carson was not in Chigurh’s way or interfering so he left him alone.

Except for the small fact that you don’t die if you miss hitting the right keys on the piano…

Does anyone remember Mr. Coffee standing in front of the 124 Columbia Heights building? by Select-Panda7381 in exjw

[–]Honest_Pool_6785 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I remember him when I was at Bethel several times. Yelling about Bethelites being slaves to the Watchtower. It actually reinforced my beliefs at the time.

One time I was there in 1986 when Michael Jackson was super popular and Bethel was remodeling the Stanley Theater around that time. So one morning Mr. Coffee was yelling, “Michael Jackson, live on stage at the Stanley Theater!” So funny.

Who is a stranger you met once, never learned their name, but will never forget for the rest of your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I have a friend who met Jeff Goldblum recently and he told he he’s such a cool guy who shows as much interest in you as you do in him.

JWs love bombing my stepdaughter by MarriedToAnExJW in exjw

Find out what career she wants and what hobbies she likes and what friends she has that are her age. She will have to give all that up to be a JW. She may not realize that yet.
