New site on reddit specifically for ---- GEN-X eXJW

by pistolpete in

yesterday or a few days ago a site started specifically for gen x -exjws.

it caters to those born in the 60s to around 70s and some 80s yesterday it had 2 members, today it has 102 members.

keep in mind that for most of these gen x, there was no internet, no mobile phone, heck, i don't think there was even cable tv.

Recently appointed Elder and his Regular pioneer wife wake up in 10 minutes and walk away.

by pistolpete in

i been seeing several experiences by jws who are waking up very quickly.

not years, not months, not even days-----but minutes.

it seems that all the hypocrisy of the watchtower is becoming more obvious to the members.

What secret probation?

i think you need to see the film Animal House to get that.

For those who are banned from starting new topics--why dont you create a new a/c?

this just popped up this morning in my news briefs.. https://www.post-gazette.com/news/transportation/2021/06/19/pennsyolvania-turnpike-mon-fayette-expressway-jehovah-s-witnesses-west-mifflin/stories/202106180126.

guess they'll start asking for money to build a new building now..

stan livedeath

500,000 seems low to me too but it’s still a $500,000 profit

youre on to something there--the watchtower can have a fire sale of KH's and any money they get is a profit--dont forget the human congregation will still be ~~paying the mortgage~~ donating

each time a hall gets sold from under their bums--i hope it helps wake up some more dubs. Surely they dont a just swallow this "money for halls in africa " crap--do they?

in 1971 the elders "arrangement" was being rolled out in the UK. One sunday i was to do the public talk that afternoon--i had only glanced through the printed script and just couldnt be bothered with it all anymore. I phoned the congregation servant ( former branch servant somewhere ) and asked to see him there and then.

After a few mins into the meet up--i told him how i felt about it all--and he thanked me for telling him--as he was about to recommend me as an elder ! FFS--i was 23--and had absolutely no interest in the daft cult anymore ! So much for spirit directed .

Now i just had to explain it to the wife--a pregnant 3rd generation born in . That was the start of 10 years of marital misery.

i had a legal divorce from my ex wife( law of the land).

i was told not to expect to get remarried because my divorce was not legal to watchtower.. my divorce and situation seem to be a talk of gossip and even a many local needs talks.

i wanted to take some more schooling to get a better job, there was a local needs talk on higher education and it's dangers.

stan livedeath

i was brought up in it--baptised at 14--pioneer at 16--servant at 19..married at 20.

when my wife was pregnant with our first--i was 23--and i had my first long hard think about the blood issue--and it hit me i had no belief in the resurrection or everlasting life--and had zero interest in god, angels demons and all that clap trap.

it took me another 8 years to break away completely. that was 40 years ago.

atheist makes life so much easjer.

What Do You Know of JWs Getting Away With Stuff?

i realized that teenagers and young witness adults were getting away with murder per my daughter.

she told me that all these exemplary young people featured at assemblies and conventions were not real good examples.

after she got married years ago to a “ worldly “ man, she told me about all the kids who were fornicating and getting drunk and high, including elder’s kids.

stan livedeath

20+ years back i heard from one dub parent that kids were holding--(quote)-- " get out of the truth " parties.
