Judging is huge, as is the spiritual competition. "I'm more spiritual. No, I'm more spiritual." We watched this go on for years. I believe once all the smart people make their exit, all that will be left are the pompous ass*oles. They will devour each other. lol I don't miss it!

21JWs shunning other active JWs
by Roger Kirkpatrick inhow many others have noticed how common it is for active jws to ostracize and shun other active jws?
as far back as i can recall, jws have had an ongoing problem with cliques within congregations, and special needs talks would be given from time to time to address that trend.
but, it seems to me that the practice has become even more pronounced with entire congregations actively shunning other congregations.

Anyone recall someone disfellowshipped for gluttony???
by James Mixon ingluttony seems to be a sin that jw's like to ignore .there are several scriptures that point out that gluttony is a sin, proverbs 23:20-21 "do not join those who gorge themselves on meat".....also i read somewhere that 1% is the number of disfellowshipped jw's each year......how do prove someone is a glutton and not just a person who love food???

That is one subject WT does not discuss. Some of the most/uber "spiritual" people in the org are obese. Notice that WT does not put the morbidly obese brothers and sisters on their video's. Another "let's sweep it under the rug" issue.

Congregations do all the grunt work and pay the bills BUT Watchtower owns the asset! Great gig if you're Watchtower. The gullible fools keep lapping it up.

I was bullied in the congregation as a teenager. It was tough. I lost a lot people who I thought were my "friends." The experience was miserable but it did teach me to be a stronger person, not to trust so easily and that no one will always stick up for you. I have learned to fight my own battles. It's a bittersweet experience. I survived and am a stronger person because of it.

Sunday's W.T angered me + I found an ironic scripture
by Isambard Crater induring the "do you love me more than these" watchtower study on sunday, i got so angry on many occasions, hearing people make comments like "if you enjoy your job, you're an enemy of jehovah" and "the only reason we're here is to preach.
work and relaxation only exist to help us to preach".. the paragraph talking about the "do more!
" attitude in the world getting people down really got me down just reading it, as it applies so much to the borg.. i also found the ecclesiastes scripture quoted to be ironic, as the rest of the article tells is that nothing is better or more of a priority than to preach;.

"Working is a sin in the JW religion."
My spouse and I are noticing that our still in relatives are all looking for others to "foot their bills." Instead of working more or getting extra jobs, they are looking for hand outs to survive. Is this a pattern or is it just our family?
I was always taught, if you work, you eat.

PE...just watched you clip above of Erin. She is absolutely precious. When you want hit someone for the way she and your ex were treated, play that video. She adores you!
The JW's are a sick bunch. I hope your ex can soon make her exit as well. I'm sorry they had that happen, it hurts so much. This is how this cult rolls and I think karma is biting them.
Enjoy that sweet sweet baby!!! ❤️
