I always felt I had a strong sense of right and wrong. (Certainly more so than most the JW's I know). I feel I have kept this part of my personality in tact since my abrupt fade.
On the other hand doing a few more Cash in hand jobs these days doesn't bother my conscience one bit ;)
so yesterday my mom had be update her tablet and the jw library app (she is technologically challenged).
after i did, she told me if i knew how to get the jw chanel on tv.
(i assume she meant those weird videos the gb has been releasing).
Bravo Landy, Bravo!
something needs to be done 960000 kids have the day off, 900 schools closed.. our way of life is changing, get use to it..
i have attended only one meeting in the past 3 weeks.
i know there is no way to leave this cult fast enough, but is my fade too fast?
My wife and I went cold Turkey. I fully recommend it. It's been 16 months and we've had barely any bother. One Elder (our group overseer) that did call around a couple months later after my mum spoke with him when she found out we were no longer going to attend. He simply wanted to confirm the rumor for himself. I said i had no problem with anyone and my absence had nothing to do with anyone at the hall. I also made it clear I had no intention of discussing my issues with anyone. He said 'fair enough' and that's the last we've seen of him.
I also recently went for a pint with a friend from my old hall whose a couple years older than me and was made up to Elder status shortly before we stopped going. I made it clear beforehand that I was happy to go for a drink but would not go into anything.
I'm a firm believer that you've got to draw a line in the sand and keep full control of every situation that arises.
i was just thinking today if china opened it doors to wt, and there was the surge of interest as was the the case with the european eastern block countries when communism 1st fell.
what would be wt reaction toward it.
could wt even afford to proselytise in china.
There are already an estimated 12 million Catholics in China so the wtbs will have plenty of catching up to do.
not sure if this was posted before... but apparently for the wt a woman's smaller cranium than a man's shows she was designed to be in submission to the man!!
unbelievable he dared to say such things!.

Did you also notice that IF (lol) the woman is 'sharper of mind' than her husband, she should still show submissiveness by not letting on she's smarter. Maybe his wife has let him know a few too many times and this is his passive aggressive way of telling her to stop 😅
hi people,.

I just spoke to a young elder a couple weeks ago, whose parents had been working on the Chelmsford project for the last six months. They are being sent home within the next couple of weeks. His brother had only just started volunteering there last month and is now being told he'll only be needed as and when (approximately once a fortnight apparently). As you can imagine this is adding to his personal expenditure.
And to top it off they're putting it all down to the urgency of the times and how they've been told to spend the time they would have used for the build to go out in service 😞
