ExBethelite - “Predict JW life in the future…”
Depressing AF?
a sister said the other day at the ministry group “”what is all this talk that the end is still some way off” she said she has been waiting for decades and she was told there is no way it would take this long.
some others said in an annoyed kind of way yes they would have made different decisions decades ago if they knew the end still would not have come by 2023.. how will the majority react in a few more decades time when the end still hasn’t come?.
why all that talk of sense of urgency decades ago?.

I doubt they’ve given you what you want.
So, why would you give them what they want?
i thought this was an interesting response to the question.
"being faithful and loyal to god implies or includes.
being faithful to your spouse (hebrews 13:4),.
Vanderhoven - “Do Jehovah's Witnesses view faithfulness to Jehovah as being equivalent to faithfulness to the Governing Body?”
Not quite.
They view loyalty and obedience to the GB-slash-WTS as being equivalent to faithfulness to Jehovah.
It’s a subtle difference, but a difference nonetheless, and most of them aren’t consciously aware of it.
i had a conversation about this 22 carat gold contradiction with a couple of zealous jw's a couple of days ago.. even their personal "explanations" contradicted each other as they tried justify their cognitive dissonance!.
an absolute delight to witness such absurdity.. "after all, no one will be allowed to practice vile things in the new world.
the unrighteous must have practiced these vile things [john 5:29] before their death.
Wilfully ignorant people do seem to sleep a bit better at night.

That’s… a weirdly-phrased question… 🤨

i would like to share an experience from my younger days, which now as i sit here i can't believe it's almost been 10 years now since this happened.
it still feels like it was yesterday.. so my family and i moved out of our old hall and wanted to start new because of the crap we all went through in the old hall.
this is a link of my story ne posted for me http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/experiences/244665/1/one-experience-in-our-old-kingdom-hall-that-still-haunts-me .
I’m starting to suspect that CSA might not be the only problem in Watchtowistan…

why is it that seemingly everything disney touches turns to shit?
what the f**k are these scooters doing in the book of boba fett?!
I gotta say, I’m disappointed Rogue Squadron is off the table, now… I was really looking forward to that.
Andor is really good, though, and the trailer for Ashoka looks fucking amazing.

Jeezus, Fish, it’s like you really don’t want to believe that the WTS has a child abuse problem.
Or do you simply not want the Org to suffer the consequences of their screwups?
