? Question for EX-JW grandfathers. What life advice would you give to your grandchildren and your younger self. ?

by Balaamsass2 in

i read an interesting interview with billionaire warren buffet's sidekick, billionaire charlie munger.

good read, this grandpa agrees 1000% with his advice.

i wish i had learned earlier to realize almost everyone lies...(sometimes to themselves) but especially, all politicians and religious leaders.. what advice would you as a grandparent add?".

a fake jw is one who claims to be a jw--but doesnt believe the watchtower teachings.

i havent looked at a bible in over 40 years..no interest in it whatsoever, which is the reason i try to ignore all the bible thumpers on this site.

As for staying a fake JW--i just couldnt do that. If some guys choose to--to appease their wives--well--i got lucky--mine handed me a divorce when any last remaining ties to that cult were severed. That was 42 years ago. As far as i am aware--shes happy--i'm happy--so everyones a winner.

JWLITE

even elders can be part of the new jw lite brigade these days.

they don’t need to go on door to door anymore and there is no requirement for anything really.. taking meeting parts is all dead easy you could turn up on the day with zero preparation because it’s all in the meeting workbook.. quarterly elders meetings are just old men having a good old natter just like old men do down the pub.. congregations could be likened to pubs or bars these days just without the drinks, those come at other times.. no need for territory maps, these almost went away with covid letter writing now they are extremely slow getting finished as those who still go door to door only do ten mins.. you could even voice your questions these days about things the gb say and then just say “we can’t be dogmatic we just don’t know”.

i predict they will say this about 1914 soon..

Most couples are not entirely first timers on their wedding night if you know what I mean, I think if honest numbers could be known hardly any couples can say that. But they just keep it quiet and this is what needs to be done with everything.

i was,,thanks to the indoctrination..but i wish i had " jumped the gun"--it might have prevented the worst mistake of my life

i like ducks

floating about on a pond.-- observing nature while the sun rises, enjoying the quiet without social media or televsion, and learning how the world works outside the domain of men.

It is equally hard for me to imagine a culture where stuff like this is not commonplace.

well--in my culture we refrain from standing waist deep in cold water blowing ducks to bits.

But whatever floats your boat....
