  If Witnesses are desperate they must rely on either:

  Satan's "evil" government

  Satan's "Babylonish" churches

  For help. Remember, no help will be forthcoming from Branch, circuit or congregation funds😒

  Once again the ‘non-worldly Watchtower’ acts with remarkable political nous and sneaks bad news in under cover of a pandemic! I mean we all knew they were headed toward the negative but I think exjw’s celebrating such figures, when the witnesses have been grounded, is a little silly as the figures couldn’t really be otherwise.

  DON'T FORGET you have a monumentally valuable archive here. Just click on your favorite names and the entire history of their topics and post is still available.

  I must fully agree with this ‘ere post. It really is staggering. In fact it drives me up the wall that exjwreddit claims to be “the biggest exjw resource on the internet”.

  Absolute B***ocks!!! If you want memes I guess it is, but compared to this site it’s chicken feed!

  Adultery, Divorce, Remarry

  by azl0058 in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  my brother (who is a witness) has been married for 8 years.

  he and his wife (also a witness) got married young, but he never really tried in the marriage, but she also lost his trust early on.

  he says that it was his fault though because he pushed her away.. anyways, he met this new girl (not a witness) and told his wife that he wanted to separate.

  • actually, no. if he had simply left his wife and never fornicated, and divorced her on incompatability grounds, he would not get disfellowshipped. if he and the girl abstain from sex until they are married, then all is well too.

    But that is not a “scriptural divorce”. And therefore the new marriage is also not “scriptural”. In fact, not only would they not be free to marry in the Kingdom Hall, but by getting “married” to the new girl elsewhere, your brother would be committing adultery, since he was not “scriptural divorced” in the first place.

    confused.........? You will be!!

  Dumb Elders

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i knew a few pretty intelligent elders .

  sometimes i would wonder why they remained as elders or even witnesses because they were successful men who made a good living and were highly respected because of their qualities.. that is a rather small group.

  most elders that i know of aren’t the brightest bulbs in the sky.

  Minimus ejaculated, "That same elder I knew also was the one that wanted to disfellowship a dead man."

  Maybe the dead man had recently been baptized as a Mormon and deserved to be disfellowshipped for not objecting to the baptism.

  Sorry, 🤣but I just found Nathan’s hilarious comment🤣😂😂😂😂

  So What Religion do You Claim to be when Entering Hospital?

  by mikronboy in

  2. medical

  i've had a few medical procedures.

  once, i had a massive loss of blood and needed 6 units of blood to replace the loss.

  however, i'm curious as to what ex's state to be their religion when filling out the required paperwork when being admitted into a hospital.

  Medical staff will tell you that your religion is confidential and they will not discuss it with others.

  Dont believe them.

  Gossip is part of human nature...we evolved to gossip because we are pro social animals. I’d say maybe 3 out of every 10 medics can truly be trusted with confidential info and remain fully professional. When it comes to JW staff make that zero.

  Has anyone contested a Will and WON????

  by cha ching in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  my jw mom just died last week, about 6 1/2 months after my non jw dad died (dehydration, starvation, imo) i was the executor of that will.

  before a month had passed of his death, my dad & mom's will was changed.

  i didn't know until she died.

  Your sister, if executor, has full rights to handle the estate within the parameters that wills in your state provide. My suggestion is to work with her unless she does something that represents a breach of her mandate as executor.

  BTW, if you are named as a beneficiary in the will, the executor is required to provide you with a copy thereof.

  Just out of interest, what can I do if an executor doesn’t provide me with this? My grandmother left me one quarter of her wealth. It wasn’t much in the end as she had to go into a home...but it was quite a few thousand. My mum cheated me out of it as my step dad was executor and my mother scape goats me. She shuns me but hated me since I as a little girl. Very narcissistic. What can I do as it’s been a few years....she lied to me about the will but I subsequently found a copy of it. Thanks in advance if anyone knows.

  Cha Ching...so sorry, another example of the abiding Christian behavior of JWs :((

  Nurses are unwilling to take the COVID-19 Vaccine

  by adjusted knowledge in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i work at two separate hospitals and most of the rns i work with have stated they won't take the vaccine.

  i've read a report that 1/3 of rns will refuse the vaccine.

  for those in other countries do you see this being an issue or is it more an american phenomenon?.

  Misinformation:

  because vit C is fat soluble [Vitimin c is water soluble not fat soluble. Look it up]

  Sorry that was a typo simonses I meant vit D is fat soluble. However because the piece was about vitamin D you could make a good guess that's what I meant.
