  If I was still PIMI, I'd be terrified

  by neat blue dog in

  2. beliefs

  just looking at the pictures in tomorrow's wt study makes me think of the nightmares i used to have as a child.

  and nowadays the pictures are sometimes more realistic, so for any who are truly mentally in, this has a terrible effect on them and even their life choices.

  looking in as a pimo or pomo it seems almost comical that adults would believe in this sci-fi bible fan-fiction, but it's not funny when we remember that all ages of the r&f are being manipulated by the gb by these cheap and evil means.. .

  Watchtower continues to do this because it works. You should see how paranoid our uber families are. Satan this, Satan that. They are afraid of their own shadows. It is pathetic!

  Some have become VERY reclusive. They don't go out much, they are suspicious of everyone who is not a JW and they are having a hard time making ends meet financially. It is sad to watch.

  It amazes me to watch our children function in the real world. They have made friends, received training and higher education and are hard workers. Not sitting around waiting for this wicked system to pass away. They are dealing with the here and now and doing it very well. It's just interesting to watch the paranoid JW's and then compare them with our children.

  California Fires-Contact from elders

  by SouthCentral in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the fires have been hitting many areas of los angeles lately.

  recently, i checked my home voicemail and noticed messages from several elders.

  they were calling everyone on their “books” to ensure that they were ok.. i assume this is the protocol for a natural disaster.

  “If you don’t return our call, will have to stop by!”

  My response would be...." you can stop by but it doesn't mean that I am going to answer the door."

  The main intention of any uber dub JW is to re engage you. Get you "back on track or back on board the JW train."

  NOT GONNA HAPPEN NO MATTER HOW MUCH "LOVE" YOU SHOW ME!!! Life is just way to short to let this group back into my life. Enjoying life way too much to let the drones in again.

  Even mental health experts call shunning a bullying and psychological torture. It is a sick tactic to bully you back into the cult. This is being sanctioned by the leaders of this cult. The rank and file are jumping on board with this disturbing tactic. No matter how strong you are, it affects you deeply. Especially when it comes down to the people we love the most, family.

  I knew the shunning was going to happen to but it messes with your head. Watchtower knows this. The shunning has actually angered us to the point that we are going to let the still in family members know that this tactic WILL NOT "bring us back to Jehovah" but will do the opposite.

  I'm sorry that your BIL is experiencing this. I do believe that the shunning will be Watchtower's next problem. It is what JW's call the "message of judgement." SCREW YOU WATCHTOWER!!!

  The only thing Jehovah gives Hurricane Dorian survivors is.....''the strength to cope with their difficulty and distress.''

  this article is from jw.org newsroom.

  audioaudio download options historic hurricane dorian pummels bahamas.

  hurricane dorian, one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the atlantic ocean, made landfall as a category 5 storm on great abaco island in the northern bahamas on sunday morning, september 1, 2019. dorian is especially dangerous due to its slow movement, high wind speeds, and heavy rains.

  Watchtower only takes care of it's own and even then they do a piss poor job (not protecting children). If you are not a JW, you are dead to them. If you "left Jehovah" (aka...the borg), you are certainly dead to them. Look how JW families treat those who can not stay in. They are dead to them. WT is only worried about it assets and it's money. A true 100% narcissistic cult!

  I agree....step down. If your wife see's it, this will make it easy. Look at all the free time that you will have not being an Elder. You can spend more time "working" on your wife. Move slow, so as to not scare her. It takes time. These Elders are clowns who need some sort of authority in life. Let them enjoy the cult that they are a part of. If they want to do all the work in the Congregation, let them. You will be freed up. lol Plus, you won't have to play their petty little games anymore.

  Keep us posted.

  Ours are not outright shunning us YET. They keep their distance and seem to dodge us. Only family emergencies or invites to any WT event (you know...."spiritual" things). lol

  We have a few "friends" doing the same thing, It's like you have horns and a pitch fork!

  As far as we are concerned they can take a hike. Who needs em! Life is to short and we gotta go live it. Good riddance to em!
