  Ages of each user here?

  by ukpimo in

  2. friends

  i'm interested to know the age demographics here.

  it must be significantly different to other exjw forums.

  it would be a damning report for watchtower if most of us appear to have left for decades.. you don't have to mention your exact age, you could always say "in my 50s".. i am in my 70s.

  entertaining and spot on video ...must have been written by one time elders who knew the process.

  2. beliefs

  they are naming it differently now, but we know the leopard isn't changing it's spots.

  so this video presents judicial meetings like they are the mob and the background music fit nicely with the narrative.

  The very worst thing about this series of videos is how they bullied him into throwing the worldly girl he got pregnant under the bus and that he should leave her and the baby. Its sickening.

  During their 6 month reinstatement reveiw they never once ask about the mother and child and whether hes going to do the right thing by them!!

  WT needs your kids uneducated: CO training video is Master Class in F.O.G. This is jaw-droppingly stupid. Beyond moronic, it's sub-moronic.

  co training video: link to ex-jw reddit thread discussion.

  today is the first time i was made aware of this actual elder body video.

  it's training for how a co should handle elder's whose children decide to pursue further education.

  journeyman vBy so strongly discouraging further and higher education, the GB are shooting themselves in the foot in terms of trying to maintain a future for the organisation. This will continue to drive young (and not-so-young but intellectually hungry) people away, and also disillusion more MS and elders who want to see their children develop themselvesBy so strongly discouraging further and higher education, the GB are shooting themselves in the foot in terms of trying to maintain a future for the organisation.

  Yes and particularly in this period of economic downturn with the cost of living crises and all, its going to be apparent to parents that their kids wont be able to earn a living and support themselves without some level of education or skillset.

  Aside from religious cults I have honestly never seen kids as brainwashed as modern uni students. This isnt the university of my Gen X generation (in the UK women of the baby boomer generation didnt go to UNI unless they were from the real upper middle class elite, something not true of the US ive noticed, historically Education has been far more egalitarian in the US), Oh and i dont believe any political party DONT want their population educated, thats a bit ridiculous.

  Have you seen a UFO/UAP?

  by BoogerMan in

  1. social
  2. current

  the acronym uap once stood for "unidentified aerial phenomena," until december 2022. .

  then the pentagon updated its terminology to encompass "submerged and trans-medium objects.".

  KerryKing So unfair, we only get to see clouds and rain rain rain here in Ireland!

  Ah but what a beautiful part of the world....one of THE most beautiful, County Kerry (and Clare)❤️

  *And the people they're So wonderful...that's where the real beauty lays! It always surprised me that there were Irish witnesses, because I thought how can the Irish - of all people - believe all worldly are bad? I view the Irish in Ireland as having such a good community spirit, they would have no need of JWs.

  But maybe they find fertile ground with those who've seen the bad side of the Catholic church?

  That story is by some Hong Kong Based online "style" blog. I doubt it's kosher. It's not an Interview. Just one of those badly written "Ad Traps" cobbled together with guess work taken from the internet.

  He's an unlikely looking JW (photos taken before new beard rules)

  I have to say I believe Watchtower rules are discriminatory toward children, since boys as well as girls, are victims of child abuse.

  Otherwise an excellent article. So glad the word is being spread in languages other than English thanks to the hard work of Spanish, Portuguese, German, Polish etc apostates.
