from reddit ex jw, a user posted this material of a hypothetical new light on dissociated people......i'm posting it only for the record, nothing else is known.

it seems that the topic has been deleted either by the moderators or by the user himself.

understanding dissociation in light of the scriptures.

Not a chance they'll change treatment only lie about it.

Because it's possible

in holland we say "not because it is requierd, but because it's possible.

before we shaved, and now we let it grow.

pinky ring, too!.

All that secret wealth/luxurious lifestyle to flaunt watches/designer suits for entertainment/theatre image. Maybe they should rock some 'jesus' sandals with their GQ attire/beards. Appearance is important on stage and beards to display popular style/touch of mainstream freedom. What freedom - can you stand it! Beards for public appeal and membership drive-delusions.

Longy -- YES -- I couldn't believe all the slugs living off the government (actually taxpayers!) and conning every one they possibly could inside the hall. A couple of the clergy class (elders) solicited for them -- makes me sick thinking about it! I heard many JWs lie and claim to have mental issues to qualify for government aid/handouts and peddle for WT. Many individuals will do anything (pioneer) to fit in/be accepted. It's the norm for JWs throughout US to use the gov.

Jehovah's Witnesses - summary critique

by aqwsed12345 in

since 1931, they have called themselves jehovah’s witnesses.

founded in 1879 by charles taze russell (1852-1916).

jw’s publisher is the watchtower bible and tract society, and their publications include "the watchtower" and "awake!

Russell ran a men's retail store or manufacturer/merchant - huge difference! Wasn't the shop owned by his father?

Are the halls of the Kingdom filling up, are they the same as before the pandemic or are they emptying?

by LaFrancia in

i open a new topic, to find out how it's going in your area.

from what i see as a southern european in my constituency the situation is patchy.. the congregation where i am now has 30% old people on zoom but also young couples with almost all their cameras off.

no increase but a slight decrease in the total number of publishers.. circuit assemblies: before covid you couldn't find a free seat if you arrived 10 minutes before the start.

Balaamsass2 - Very interesting. Guess Bob Dylan's 'The Times They Are a-Changin' is true. They must be losing key members/cash for positive change.

KalebOutWest -- I agree there are many Catholics in LV and an incredible Catholic high school. I know all about the Mormans here. At one time more Morman wards in LV than anywhere other than Salt Lake. Many professionals - Morman dentists/doctors/lawyers but it's changed much the past 20 yrs. All the teachers many moons ago were Mormans - all changed today which is a good thing. LV has a Morman temple.

The LV Guardian Angel Cathedral is definitely beautiful. Have attended many weddings there. Catholic tourists (high rollers, celebs) visit/attend mass and contribute generously!! They're doing something right.

There's nothing beautiful or outstanding about the JW halls here. I know where a couple are and that's enough - I like the new modern, style, of the recently constructed one but clearly doesn't look like a place of worship. Looks out of place in the area it's built - actually, more upscale property (compared to others) for a hall. Property was most likely donated. Some halls might be full with the influx of new residents to LV -- I'll try to find out. An older hall on east side of LV has only elderly w/one teenager and I don't think it's more than 60-70 people but I'll try to confirm.
