  source - march 2021 announcements - - https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5085868283920384/2021-march-147-english-german-announcements-reminders.

  this is a sobering reminder of what happened some 40 years ago when raymond franz and others were literally kicked out from the jehovah's witnesses for having pre-arranged private spiritual discussions.lesson: paragraph 7 is another example of the i and t in dr. steven hassan's bite model of the 21st century cult - information and thought control at its best!!!!

  "my gosh, there must be a lot of independent meetings these days.

  A very happy belated birthday!

  You could think of it this way, if the average life span of a woman is say, 80 yrs old, you haven't even reached half way yet! You may have at times felt like that first half was wasted with being a jw and all. So now how are you going to spend the next 40? You have learned what you don't want in your life now you have a chance to go find what you do want.

  Wishing you all the best

  'even beginning and ending such meetings with prayer' - guess they don't go in for:

  1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

  English Standard Version

  16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God

  in Christ Jesus for you.

  Is there a renewed iemphasis on the "go bag" in the past mont or so?

  by nonjwspouse in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my soon to be ex moved out over a year ago.

  he left most of his things here ( i guess he thinks of my house as his personal storage unit).

  one thing he left was his survival backpack, i assume his "go bag".

  What's up with the demonic avatar?

  by Repent in

  1. forum
  2. tech-support

  why does the j-w forums have a demonic avatar as starting avatar?

  why would a biblical religion even consider having demonic images included, in any of their content?.

  How could anyone come to this forum and not realize it is made up of mostly ex jw's?

  "You're starting to prove that Jehovah's witnesses are false profets" - (you mean prophet?) well, no kidding. I think almost everyone on this site believes that the wt/jw's are false prophets.

  Have the jw's disturbed you somehow? perhaps you would have meaningful answers if your posts were a bit more coherent.

  Then again Fedupjw is probably right.

  The JW cult creates pessimistic personalities in all the PIMI congregants is my opinion

  by goingthruthemotions in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am not saying all jw congregants are pessimistic, but i would go as far to say all pimi jw congregants are pessimistic.. why do i say this, my wife is my measuring stick.

  she has barely an optimistic bone in her being.

  she will only focus on the bad parts of anything.

  goingthru, I actually had almost that exact conversation with my jw! how he hoped all of us (his wife, children, parents, etc..) will die in the big A. He couldn't wrap his head around it and denied that is what they teach blah, blah. I showed him quotes from various wt's that pretty much said as much but then like a good jw he just changed the subject.
