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.

Children dumped at ministry group
by Mikejw in
1. jw
2. friends
it’s not right for children to be forced to come to ministry groups on their own without their parents.

the parents just expect others to look after them.. we have this happening at our group all the time.

early teens and even younger.. the parents just want them out of the house for a bit and put the burden on others to look after them and get them home safely.. there should be an announcement or something that youths need to be accompanied by a responsible adult and not just dumped at the group on their own.. who is supposed to look after them?.

Where is Tony?
by Athanasius in
1. jw
2. friends
on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

Theme of this year's series of Conventions
by MrTheocratic in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
it was announced this week that the theme for the 3 day convention is "do not give up".

these are the words that are spoken to someone who is struggling and is in the process of giving up.

this theme tells me that many in the organization are tiring out and slowing down.
