VIDIOT:

Also, this man mentions them asking for money in a way he has never heard of.. In one of his videos I think he mentions it’s almost like Jerry Lewis (remember those telethons)?

He thinks it will become more so. He said that they are asking for things like ‘does anybody have an extra motor home..etc.’. This guy is afraid that JWs minds are being programmed to give in to any requests. He also mentions in one video about how the FEAR is ramped up for JWs with ‘go bags’ and their videos about persecution and the great trib and them fleeing into the woods or wherever and leaving their possessions behind, etc. [To me it sounded like it would be worse than what I read happened before 1975 with gullible JWs. I was not in the religion yet so I did not witness this.]

Again, this is what he believes is happening.. It might sound extreme but I would not be surprised if some of the more gullible JWs might do this.

I see what you mean, but what I get from this guy is that they want to keep whatever members they have online!

I watched a couple of other videos and this man thinks the Witness religion doesn’t care if older ones leave because they are considered ‘dead wood’.. This will be interesting to watch by those of us who are long Out of the religion.

If this happens, it will be devastating to whatever JWs are left.. They will be high & dry with just their laptops & internet connection.. Meanwhile, the religion will continue online. Imagine that? After all these people’s sacrifices! … Time will tell.

I am sure that mature couple was disillusioned after being kicked to the curb. I hope they find their way.

This being kicked out of the bethels in some people’s eyes is viewed as a sign of ‘going out of business’. Them being replaced by younger people won’t matter in the long run.

Just watch the YouTube videos of ‘Life After Religion’… Meanwhile, I wish JWs would wake up and stop hurting themselves and their families.. They should stop foolish things like denying their children college education, working for free and not getting decent jobs.

According to the guy in the videos the average JWs are about to be ‘royally screwed’! I find his views interesting.

Yes. And not a ‘paper’ or degree you can hang on your wall that has ANY value in the real world.. And, yes, it’s true that it affects generations. Such is the result of cutting yourself off from society.

Some years ago a poster made a post I totally agreed with. He said he felt an ‘elder’ had all the importance of the president of your local book club.

Sorry if anybody on the forum would be offended at this.. But, this is how somebody like me not raised a Witness viewed it and their other titles... Couldn’t see what all the fanfare was about. Thank God I was never sold on their title of ‘pioneer’!

Good that this thread was bumped up:

If anybody watches the YouTube videos of ‘Life After Religion’, you will see that he believes the Jehovah’s Witnesses really want to sell off their halls.

He believes them keeping the JWs home (because of Covid) for a little longer was to help break them of the habit of going to the hall. He even thinks the recent changes in the religion were to get people to leave especially older ones.. He thinks the religion considers them ‘dead wood’.

‘If’ this ‘eventuality’ would happen - what a rude awakening to whatever JWs would be left.. He believes the religion wants to be totally online with the end result being the average JW there will only be left with their iPad and an internet connection to the religion. This might sound shocking to many but I would not be surprised if it comes to pass!!

So What Religion do You Claim to be when Entering Hospital?

by mikronboy in

i've had a few medical procedures.

once, i had a massive loss of blood and needed 6 units of blood to replace the loss.

however, i'm curious as to what ex's state to be their religion when filling out the required paperwork when being admitted into a hospital.

LongHairGal

Even though I was raised Catholic, I believe I claimed Agnostic the last time I was in a hospital.

I wouldn’t want the claim to any religion to complicate my life or cause me to have unwanted conversations with anybody. Even if it were the end, I don’t really want anybody praying over me.

BALAAMSASS2:

You say she ‘banked on her looks’ to supposedly snag a better guy. Even though this is probably your opinion (I guess).. because I’d be shocked she would have actually said it - it is possible she might have believed this.

But, with the shocking story you related about what she did to you: once this was heard on the Jehovah’s Witness gossip circuit and made the rounds far and wide, her chances were nil. I think it was as you said, that suitors were scared away.

How does this relate to the OP? These things are all the end results of a cult-like religion with a tattletale culture that knocks education, careers and planning for the future.

HOSER:

I think it’s part of the unwritten culture there.

I am sure there are so many JWs with absolutely no skills and a meager education. They might be only too glad to accept a job working for a brother even if the pay is below par. What if it’s an older somebody with no car who can walk there? What if it’s a housewife who needs a little something to help pay the bills?

The brother with the business is glad to have JWs work for him because they will tolerate anything. Generally it might work except for some young brother who wants more.

In my opinion, anybody who sweated blood, took out student loans, etc. and then goes to work for FREE for any religion has to be MAD.

The only other thing I could think of is maybe they come from wealth(?) so they don’t care about money(?) They would have to be a super lobotomized PIMI.

But, the idea that in the end they could get a kick in the ass telling them they are no longer needed and have to leave with no $$ -- is just the ultimate!!

I couldn’t even have one ounce of pity for them.. To me they are even more pathetic than the usual run-of-the-mill pioneers who rang doorbells for 30+ years who didn’t work to plan for retirement.. Those pioneers at least had the excuse of ignorance and being uneducated. Not so these educated suckers.👎

I always felt that a good reason that the Witness religion wants to discourage education for young people there is because brothers with businesses want these young people to work for them for low wages and low or no benefits! ..The nerve of these hypocrites to push poverty for young people!

So any young lurkers here had better keep this in mind - especially if they end up wanting to leave the religion. That low-paid shitty job working for some brother might be in jeopardy! Do yourselves a favor and Go elsewhere and get a real job!

The Witness religion has proved over and over that they hate education for its members. Firstly, because they don’t want critical thinkers questioning their stupid doctrines; and secondly, I believe they want a pool of uneducated potential laborers.

As for them getting into everybody’s personal business: this is something that has to be nipped in the bud. I had to put a few people in their places, which was another reason they disliked me. These bastards were not and are not looking out for anybody’s interest and don’t care about you. I saw this first hand back then when they tried to interfere by criticizing my full-time job. Thank God I resisted all their bullshit and never listened to them!
