SPIMI Friend Asked Me For The Name Of My (FORMER) Congregation
by HiddlesWife ina present-spimi friend texted me to ask me the name of my congregation--which is my former and last one that i left right after becoming completely/presently pomo.
she was a longtime buddy, who was pimq-pimo-ppimi-on-occasion for many decades.
then shortly before the pandemic, she was dating a brother who was reaching out to become an ms [mind you, this guy was a mic-handler for several decades as well--until an older brother (who was a close friend of his uncle--who converted him into the cultporation years ago--encouraged him to the point of harrassing him to move up the wt corporate ladderšš¤].

Make sure your medical notes are up to date
by moley ini recently had a heart attack, after arriving at a&e they gave me an angiogram and it was discovered i need a bypass (quadruple).
will i was being prepared for surgery to consultant said he needed to speak to me and he said on your notes it says youāre a jw (iāve been out over 20 years) i said no and i was willing to accept blood and my notes were updated.
i dread to think what would have happened if i had been unconscious and unable to clarify the situation.

Few JW leader have children
by slimboyfat initās been discussed before that few jw leaders, past and present, have had children.
this is in contrast with other groups, such as the mormons, whose leaders have had a lot of children.
i wonder if this has impacted jw growth.

ive no wish to watch all that video.
My thoughts are the watchtower thieves have really shot themselves in the foot grabbing the kingdom halls and flogging them for a quick buck
I'm sure many senior jws--my age --will bitterly regret the loss. They would have saved hard and contributed a lot of time money and effort to buy build and maintain THEIR hall.
The halls were a witness in themselves--and the loss doesnt go un noticed by the public---just adding to the impression ( along with no or very little door knocking ) that the watchtower has ceased trading.
When was the last time a jw knocked your door ? Ive not seen any slowly traipsing the street where i live for ages--not like it used to be--every few weeks.
Even the carts are no longer a new thing and go largely ignored.
