Would You Go To A Memorial Service For A JW )if you were no longer attending the KH)?

some of my old jw friends are sickly and getting on in age.

so far, i’ve only gone to my mother’s memorial and have avoided the kingdom hall altogether.... your thoughts please?.

kairos

I actually quit attending memorials at the KH several years before my exit.

They really frown upon crying and emotion.
As if it is 'wrong'.
I need to mourn in a natural, healthy way that may include crying.

Can you even imagine this scenario:

My JW wife dies and I agree to go to her memorial.
She's well loved, so it would be a full house.

Me, admitted apostate, what? When do i come in? Late. Sit in the back?
Would they even mention me in the talk?
Would anyone acknowledge me on any level?

After years of shunning, could anyone not see the hypocrisy?

I'll stand out front with my own makeshift memorial and simple message for all to read as they drive in:

'You used to love me'

Never. Not for anyone.

The entire JW experience is so disgusting, there would be no reason.

I could see standing on the sidewalk with a simple sign for my wife's JW memorial.

Flat earth vs round earth

by Jrjw in

my brother has been talking about the earth being flat and some big conspiracy going on to make people beieve otherwise.

what are people's thoughts on this?.

Methinks kairos has checked out of reality
He has decided to run his own show

I'm changing my story.
I'm actually Geoffrey Jackson, trolling you all!
It's a psyop to get you apostates off my ass after my lies at the ARC.

You heard it here first.

Quite possible. I give you that.
Good thing, too.

I recommend you live life to the fullest. Chase your dreams.

Ironically, it seems I'm viewed as a reality apostate on a JW apostate web site!
First JW apostate DFd from my congregation and local area, too. ( admitted apostasy, even! )

Do I run around spewing flat earth nonsense in my day to day?
Nope. I'm fairly anonymous here. Although I do not 'hide who I am'®, if you want to know who I am. There's an easter egg for any of you bored enough.
Plus, after losing some good friends, I don't bring it up very often, if ever in the real world. PIMO, among society, if you will.

Put all of that in your pipe and smoke it!!

For those following along at home, listen to this:

My loudest laugh of ALL will be watching that spinning globe on JW Broadcast.

Again, I was indoctrinated along with all of you. There was a globe in my classroom, too.
You're just telling me the official story we ALL know and can recite and I have no intention of arguing 'doctrine' with any of you.

I'll just drop bread crumbs.

You pick them up or you ignore them.
Red pill or Blue pill, if you will.
( feel free to ignore me. This ain't my thread )

I never enjoyed being told what to think or believe as a dub.
Like so many, I never researched the WTBTS history until I quit the meetings.
After that I researched for 6-12 hours a day. 1000s of hours and ( gasp )
YouTube videos! I was forced to honestly admit that it wasn't the truth as much pain and loss that would cause me. Being DFd sealed the deal.

Think about the response you might get from a PIMI dub if you blurted out all the failures of Watchtower. Total rejection with a side of shunning!

I'll not tell you what to believe.
That's for you to decide.
---

For me, I don't know what was more troubling, awakening to the truth of Watchtower or the Geocentric model

I woke up from the Matrix only to find myself on the Truman Show.
I'm still trying to prove this as wrong. I can't unsee the truth.
I have opened my mind to the existence of a creator again and I enjoy bible verses I never paid attention to or even remember.

Maybe this is what 25 years of being in cult will do to a person.

I will point you in what I think is the right direction, but you need to be willing to do your own research.

Cofty and Morpheus:

Of course, I'm not hateful. I noticed you didn't include a source for your information.
I am my own person and I do not subscribe to some new code, religion or secret society.

This isn't about me... Or you.

I will no longer be replying to insults or bullying.
I don't care what you think of this stance.
Your debate style is not enjoyable.

You are only derailing yourself.

The short version is, an enclosed flat earth/realm/infinite plane proves a creator.
Let's watch this unfold together.

Whatever your position, are all the jabs and insults really needed?
I don't remember others being treated the way you've treated me on any other topic.
In the near four years I've been on this site I have never seen a thread get this many nasty replies.

I don't know any of you, so of course, I can't take it personally.

IF I'm correct, imagine the change in humanity that would result.
World Peace or total chaos?

So you haven't proven anything, done any experiments or research of your own.

In short my 'side' doesn't need to present evidence because the entirety of science is the evidence. I could suggest you learn some basic planetary science but I'm sure watching a YouTube video would be a lot easier for you.

In other words, I'd be better served if I would return to ~~jehovah~~ the indoctrination of 'the entirety of science' and stop asking so many questions?

I already know the official story.

The questions and comments posted here are clearly evidence that other than a cursory scanning of what's been posted here, you are not researching a thing.

At the end of the day, if you are honest with yourself, you will admit that nearly everything you 'believe' or 'know to be true' is something you've just heard.

Have you proved it for yourself or do you trust those in authority first an foremost.
