Reversed Shunning

by Difido in

i dont post really.

probably because i'm full of discord and shame about this religion.

i'm embarrassed, but working thru it.

DIFIDO:

Welcome to the forum!

Isn’t it funny that people ‘Out’ who have gotten on with their lives are being contacted by JWs.. Because of your husband you are closer to the situation and would be contacted.

You are right about not answering them - because any answer just leads to more intrusive questions and contact you don’t want..from people who (as we both know) are not your friends.

I don’t expect to be contacted by them and have no patience for them and see through the whole thing. This ‘reactivation’ is because the religion is looking for money and is losing the demographic of elderly who are passing away. I was criticized for having a full time job and don’t want Jehovah’s Witness coming around asking for anything!

Just keep ignoring those calls & texts.

Remember the Revelation book?

by wozza in

i recall when it was released ,that's when i was a drone, how excited i felt at the prospect of reading it and formulating ways to sell it at the homes in my area.. i thought, finally a book to explain the last book in the bible and indeed one that the churches seemed to want to leave alone!.

i sold quite a few probably because of my enthusiasm and can still remember clearly the first day when i went knocking on doors with it ,and it's been decades since.. but over time it lost it's shine and my mind started to question the explanations in it due to the scene of other things being changed in the jw beliefs.. do you remember they flogged that book so many times in the book studies even when it was found to have "newer light " eclipsing it!.

who else remembers the printed pages with the official corrections to insert into the book ,so many that the book collapsed to be of no relevance anymore really.....what an embarrassment!.

WOZZA:

Yes, how could we forget the Revelation book that we studied more than once?

This was back in the days when they had the Tuesday night book study in somebody’s home.. I remember some brother making a joke with comparisons to the Wizard of Oz, the Wicked Witch and Emerald City.

15 yrs ago Jehovah needed $50 million for new printing presses

by Hotpepper in

what happened to all those new printing presses?

the wt said they were going to double the amount of mag's every month.

i wonder what ever happened.

LongHairGal

SLIDIN FAST:

As far as I’m concerned, the Witnesses and their stupid magazines and tracts, etc. are a waste of our beautiful trees!!

The best news for the world is that they stop printing! Most of it ends up littering the earth and truly deserves to be called litter-ature.

Do You Believe Joe Biden Sexually Assaulted A Woman In The 90’s?

by minimus in

jw
friends

there is an allegation floating around saying he assaulted one of his female staffers .

most mainstream media do not report on this claim.

they either don’t believe it or don’t want to believe it.. funny how if it were brett kavanaugh or donald trump, they would be all over it.

Nah, we should make it CNN. 🙄

is this real? Wife got an email from here group elder about daily check in's

by goingthruthemotions in

so this elder is super brainwashed, as is his wife.

she actually made a comment that she wished antmo 3 was her dad and that he is so cool.

oh my god, i threw up in my mouth.

LongHairGal

GOINGTHRUTHEMOTIONS:

Is this daily checkup combined with their efforts to reactivate the ‘Inactive’?

Well, I guess I’m off their radar because I haven’t seen or heard from them.

I know certain ex-Witnesses will be pursued more than others..Maybe a brother (because there aren’t enough men), or somebody who has some skill that Users in the congregation wanted, OR a family that opened up their house, entertained, served food, etc.

They didn’t so much as get the time of day from me since they criticized me as ‘unspiritual’ for having a full time job.. There’s probably a notation next to my name somewhere - being as they take notes about everything else.😉

Only desperation would make them come calling.

Theory of Wuhan virus being created in a viral lab now being considered

by JimmyYoung in

i thought it was a strange coincidence that there was a weapons lab right near the supposed wet market where it started.

china needs to pay for this one way or the other.

LITTLEROCKGUY:

If this was biowarfare on China’s part, then they sacrificed their own citizens to accomplish this!.. Unless they had a twofold purpose to reduce their high population. Very cruel if they did.

Nobody knows the exact death toll there and I’m sure it’s very high. My family knows of someone who worked there (not even in Wuhan) and they say the crematoriums were going night and day for a while before word got out that there was a pandemic!

People can say what they want about ‘conspiracy theories’ but I think we haven’t been told the whole truth about what happened in China.

The VIDEO OF "THE END"

by Wagurl in

this is "return to jehovah video" from this weeks meeting.

the use fear to gain more people back in the truth?

what are your thoughts?

LongHairGal

ROAD TO NOWHERE:

I suppose you are still active in the religion. You should NEVER concern yourself how you are viewed..I’m sure you’re more charitable than most in the kingdom hall..I never concerned myself that I didn’t meet the JW religion’s definition of being ‘spiritual’ 🙄, since I worked full time.

Their definition of spiritual was some stupid drudge that went around doing favors for the Users. But, most of the drudges I saw had family in the ‘truth’ and a place to live OR a husband supporting them. So, they weren’t harmed by being stupid!

But, I was on my own and HAD to look out for myself. I would not be Retired if I hadn’t.

2020-04-10 Congregation Donations by Electronic Funds Transfer!

well as usual, the watchtower wants to make sure the rank & file keep the money coming in.

even if the jw's have nothing to eat.. 2020-04-10--congregation donations by electronic funds transfer.

WTWIZARD:

I am in total agreement with you that the washtowel deserves absolutely nothing - and especially now! Imagine the nerve! But yet they want people to inventory the goods in their house so the brothers can determine if they have a SURPLUS to give away!

It’s very scary to think about food shortages. I’d rather have a toilet paper shortage than that! 🤞🏻

WORLDWITHOUT:

I sympathize..I hope you’re at least making it.

The JW religion made a lot of trouble for people either by getting parents to deny their children college or getting some adults there to quit full time jobs.. Anybody who heeded this bad advice caused hardship for their now adult children. Anybody who quit a full time job to pursue poverty pioneering couldn’t retire..I’m glad I never fell for this!

If the Witnesses have the audacity to call on me asking for charity, they’ll never forget what I’m going to tell them.
