JWLite is like Cypher from the Matrix movies, you’ve been red pilled but you want to be reintegrated into the Matrix as a rich and famous character, if they could only see what you believe is correct. In the end you’re just the annoying side character that ends up dead and forgotten.
JWlite can be the purple pill

What I have noticed occurring more and more these days, is how polarized people are here. But even worse, is the open ridicule of others comments. I don't like it ... and as I've said it before, it discourages newer members from commenting and only goes to reinforce the Watchtower narrative, that apostates are all about hate speech.
However if we talk about the PURPLE PILL concept, I know that many are taking it. Call them PIMOs or PIMAs or whatever, there are a lot of people who for one reason or another are choosing to stay a Witness and attend the meetings. And clearly its their choice.
For me personally, I do believe that the basic teaching of JW movement are right, however the Governing Body has proven themselves to be no more than just men. No more smarter that me ... nor are they any more spiritual (maybe a bit less actually). Yet am I a hypocrite for still going to the meetings? I don't think so, no more that any other person who attends, any other church.
But yet I think that I am happier in knowing thetruth about the truth, because I'm aware of ALL the facts and I can accept the responsibility in knowing them.
So am I taking the PURPLE PILL personally, I don't know. But like the stages of grief ... I think I'm in the acceptance phase of it and I'm no longer surprised or disappointed by the Society's managers.
This is such a helpful post thank you.
i hope others on these forums can be more understanding and then we would get more new ones feeling welcome even if they choose the purple pill.
my view now is very peaceful. I’m agnostic but have this warm hope that maybe there is a GOd and something better awaits after death.
for now Im staying physically in and enjoy studying the Bible each week but with clear thinking abilities
stick to the Bible not the GB

It’s a social club at this point and for the older Witnesses there just coasting, that’s fine for them.
It’s a social club for everyone these days. The young ones only stay for the friends in the cong.
we are all just coasting even the elders it’s easy being JWlite! You could turn upto any meeting and give any part with zero preparation. It’s all just videos and q&a!
its been compared to being a Trekkie or similar
you may not like Star Trek anymore but still go to events to see the people you have known for years.
you know Star Trek is fictional but its nice fictional and maybe some tiny parts may have a even tinier slithering of a resemblance of truth in the future.

What if cypher could take the blue pill and be aware that the red pill exists? This is the purple pill.
What this means is you wake up to the fact that JWs are just a human run organisation. The GB are just fat old men who have inherited some crazy teachings that they are going to find it very difficult to get out of.
but you quite like the Bible and the friends in the gong.
why not stay physically in JWlite. Only go occasionally if or when you feel like it. If you celebrate birthdays or do anything that used to get you into trouble just keep a low profile.
the worst that could ever happen is a 90 day sanction but during those 90 days the elders have to grovel to get you to return. The CO has to ask why wasn’t more done to get this one to return with the new 90 day rule?
