hi everyone i’m a pimo elder ex bethelite and pioneer who has been having doubts for many years.
as of late i’ve come to have even more doubts mainly due to the gb pushing the vaccines and acting like salesman for big pharma companies .
i will never take these vaccines even if it meant i couldn’t go to the hall as was previously said but the gb have done a big u turn on this now.
WELCOME!!

i could not for awhile technologically and it is now fixed thanks to simon.
thanks, simon!
I have always loved your post; You are definitely my favorite on this forum!
so i pioneered for 10 years in the 1990's it was 90 hours a month with alot of country driving.
i was shocked when brothers and sisters with full time jobs would park their brand new cars and go witnessing in my 20 year old orange datsun.
i was barely living on $250 a week as a yeah...window cleaner.
Their cars were probably leased; meaning they could drive limited miles every year or pay a fee!!
i was on a jw page recently and some dubs were openly predicting the end of the world in a year.
mike flynn (trump advisor) mentioned having one religion in america and the dubs went crazy.
someone even mentioned 1975 on the thread.. it seems to have since been deleted; but there were about 50 comments before i couldn't find it again.

It seems to have since been deleted; but there were about 50 comments before I couldn't find it again. Of course, everyone that was commenting appeared to be under 40 YO or a new JW and are not aware of the past.
i was listening to the co talk to my wife’s congregation on sunday and pretty much the complete talk was justifying doctrinal and organizational changes and pretty much preparing the ‘rank and file’ for upcoming changes.
anyone on hear have any insight of what ‘new light’ is coming in the future?.
The bible has not changed; yet as J-Dubs, we were always anticipating change (corrections).
if i was a jw, and covid put and end to the door to door work for two years, and kingdom halls closed, it would get me to re-visit and think about the stupidity of the overlapping generation, and how they extended the deadline for armageddon to 2072.
(1992 franz death +80 more years).
if i was 20 years of age, plus another 80 = 100 years of age for the system to end.
Great Question!!
Much of the religion is based on knocking on doors!! It’s a sign of the last days; so a major new understanding would have to be released if they stop it.
Although, it is the least effective way of making disciples; It’s one of the ways that witnesses earn their salvation along with commenting at the meetings.
as mentioned in many other post… Most PIMOs will never go out again in service again.
in one form or another i've been a member of this site for almost 10 years.
in the past this was a great place for debate, news and support for ex jws.
i logged on several times a day and posted several times a week.
Agreed!!
Unfortunately; many topics are now RED vs Blue; which is surprising for ex-jay-dubs. Not surprised by the racial slant on many post. It almost expected.
I enjoy the personal JW and experiences from everyone; but I don’t care about ANYONE’S political beliefs or opinions.
he’s really implementing the democrats agenda!
he’s wasting no time !.
It’s so sad that everything has to be red or blue! Both parties are seriously flawed; unfortunately most people can’t see it. I feel the (so called) elites are encouraging division among the working class people. The sheep keep taking the bait.
I think a public official encouraging people to drink bleach(?) is probably one of the biggest atrocities in history! #sarcasm
awake!
"if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.
because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years... therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers.
Great post!!!!
What’s crazy is how sooooooo many witnesses from 30 years ago still believe this. Most of my old friends are on FB and they can tell that I’m inactive from my post. When we had contact at funerals the FIRST thing that they would say is; “U Know We are close to the end!!!!!!”
I’d just smile or hummn and keep it movin.
Can you believe this? I wonder if they really believe this BS!
Again great post!
the new york times as well as other news agencies are reporting that in order to help save the planet we should limit our daily bathing.
they say daily bathing really because popular in the 20th century because elites decided to impress and use petroleum based soaps and take advantage of their indoor plumbing.
a lot of this daily bathing ritual was just for show.
I knew a witness that had a condition called TMAU (trimethylmaneria??). It caused him to have a bad body odor despite bathing several times per day. The brother said how critical it was to bathe or the odor would be worse.
