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😒

-0:6 negative growth 2020 service year

by Fadeaway1962 in

phttps://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=e&pub=syr20&srcid=share .

plus another increase in memorial partakes number etc .

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.

blondie, flipper, shirley w, where are you?

did this site get too republican for you?

i just take those threads with a grain of salt..

Diogenesister

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

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.

Diogenesister

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

jw
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.

Diogenesister

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

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.

Diogenesister

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

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.

Diogenesister

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 :((
