Venting: While I sit here watching my extra-PIMI wife on zoom.
by goingthruthemotions inwhile i sit here watching my extra-pimi wife on zoom.
i see her go into the jw trance, duel personality at it's finest.
it is so creepy to watch this religious personality come out.

Why is she doing the zoom thing in front of you? your home should be a neutral zone, no jw stuff out for the other to see and no so called apostate stuff out either. Works in my house.
I know what you mean by the creepy cult stare/look. When my jw first joined the cult his eyes actually glazed over and his face changed dramatically when speaking about jw things. Scared the crap out of me! His gestures even changed, how he sat and so forth. I am not kidding or exaggerating, the kids noticed too. Now he seems to be able to switch between the two worlds easier and because we no longer speak about anything jw related I don't have to see the creepy jw look/smile/smirk. I guess we may have a yearly or every 2 years or so where we have a doozy that turns into a jw fight but all in all it is much better now that we don't discuss it.

G.B of JW`s trusting in Jehovah ? or Trusting in Men When It Comes To A Crunch !
by smiddy3 injehovah`s witnesses have taken it upon themselves that they have been chosen by god to be his witnesses in what they believe to be the last days ,the time of the end spoken of by the prophets of old.. they are on record as stating in their publications that it is their calling and duty to preach this message of announcing jehovah`s kingdom loud and clear publicly and from house to house even when under ban.. which they have done on many occasions in the past putting their trust in jehovah .. taking to heart acts ch.5 : 17- 32 which states in a nutshell ," we must obey god as ruler rather than men " .
they are also on record that the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one satan the devil to mislead all mankind.. this includes all governments ,religious leaders ,economic, and social systems ,they have even stated that the united nations was a counterfeit kingdom in opposition to the kingdom of god for the benefit of mankind.. so what do we see today ?
true , we have a pandemic with this covid-19 virus that is wreaking havoc in the worlds health systems causing death to many people on a scale not seen since the spanish flu pandemic a century ago.. now i`m just speaking from a jehovah`s witness mindset here,to put there money where their mouth is.

In this case wouldn't they say they are following the authorities orders/laws? jw's are law abiding blah, blah, blah....

Keeping everyone on the hook
by hoser ini’ve always noticed that the local jw leaders like to give as little notice as possible for local meetings and expect you to drop everything and rearrange your life to fit their agenda in.
i’ve noticed this more during the pandemic.
we are not given the codes and time of memorial until a couple hours before meeting.
