hello, i’ve just joined here and am hoping for some advice.
i was baptised a long time ago but left soon after (da).. i recently returned and have a bible study.
was reinstated about a year ago.
But then again NOT everyone out ''there" wants to like you either or befriend you either.
The jws claim that there is this international " Christian brother hood". Not really so,,,its by their actions. Shunning policy,,, cliqueyness. You know what I mean. The same things exist out "there" too.
Making friends takes courage,. effort and time.
Please be patient. It will happen. It takes time.
Plan ahead. Plan & plan!!!

Plan. Plan. Plan. Plan,,, plan & plan.
Reach out to workmates,, neighbors. Go to a gym hang out with people at random at the shopping mall. Go to Starbucks!!
Sometimes,,, to have friends ,, you have to reach out and be a "friend".
I know., especially those who are born on the borg may lack social skills. But just socialize with neighbors or workmates. Spontaneous conversations,,friendships. Find a common ground & go from there.
we had the meeting with the branch representative this weekend.. the air was different than usual.. bearded ushers at the parking lots welcomed the brothers warmly.. lots of sisters with dress pants or not, nothing scandalous.. the representative of the italian branch made his debut on stage with his full beard.. location: roseto degli abruzzi (italy-europe).
some interesting statistical data can give a little food for thought after the numerous changes that have occurred in recent months (the ten-year or five-year plan, if you prefer, seems to be producing some small results).. attendance has increased since the last meeting.. our constituency includes 1725 publishers and those present in the morning were 1553, a little better than the november 2023 convention.
perhaps the new changes have brought some back to attendance?.
Now.
We can truly see why the Borg hates 'education' so much.
uh, i wonder if that is true... hearing this from friends within bethel... gonna laugh my ass of if they change this....
I can say with 100% conviction that the Borg can never scrap these 3 harmful policies.
1) blood policy
2) shunning policy
3) two witnesses rule
Should the Borg remove any of these three completely,,,, the Borg collapses in unto itself.
The shunning policy,,we might see a 'softening' of the stance. Like only 'greeting' people. The shunning policy is the Borgs "teeth" or "bite" in a way to control people.
When it comes to their failed prophecies,, they can just erase things and claim "we never said that".
Thats why its so vital for people to retain old literature. ie) the Finished Mystery.
There was a directive a few years ago for people to return "old literature" to the KHs. To be destroyed,, because they got caught.
uh, i wonder if that is true... hearing this from friends within bethel... gonna laugh my ass of if they change this....
I do believe that the Borg has a tiger by the tail when it comes to their blood doctrine..
They are bound to the hip with it.
If they ever remove it,,, they will be sued out of existence.

Yeah. Quietly fade .
Vent on here as much as possible.
Try to establish a network of non-witness friends .
Subscribe to Netflix to ease boredom and loneliness.
When/if eldubs corner or question you,,, you can quickly put an end to them imposing on you by saying,,,""Im fine. If I need you,,, I will contact you..'"' That should do it.

The age of naievety is ending
We are entering the information age .
Ignorance is a choice. The Borgs showcase at a$$emblies and CONventions is 3rd world countries like in Africa. Because.....fewer people have access to the internet and information.

""In recent years, more and more children aged 14,13, 12 have been baptised."
The born ins,,youngest.
The true victims of this Borganization. The "low hanging" fruit on the tree. The born ins of families of jws.
Those who are "unduly influenced" are easily manipulated,,misinformed and cannot make a well informed decision.
