  Why do JW apostates tend to be activists against the religion?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  j. arden writes.

  first of all an apostate is literally just someone who left.

  most jws are technically apostates from the religions they were raised in.

  Activism can take many forms.

  An argument could be made that simply participating on this forum qualifies as activism.

  i'd like to start this post with a part from the movie 'v for vendetta'.

  here in a dystopian state, the main character named v, explains why things have gone so bad ....

  those who do not want us to speak.

  no-zombie - “Do we blame the Governing Body too much?”

  Well…

  …since they’ve taken on the mantle of authority and therefore the responsibility to actually fix the problems, I’d say…

  …no.

  More than 17 years of service to the XJW community!

  i want to take a moment to salute rick fearon, an "apostate" near boston massachusetts usa who more than 17 years ago started the sixscreens telenetwork on youtube.

  you can find it here: https://www (dot) youtube (dot) com/ (at) araretreat/streams.. like our benevolent host simon green here at jehovahs-witness.com, rick has not done his great work for his own financial enrichment or to collect followers for himself, as some xjw grifters have done and continue to do.. saturdays and sundays are the busy days at six screens, with call-in programs like:.

  Rick can be entertaining…

  …play his videos and podcasts at 1.25x speed, and he sounds like Peter Griffin.

  😁

  I’m kinda with Wing on this one, actually… IMO, over-the-top ranting ain’t the way to go.

  Well-crafted sardonic humor, though?
  

  Apostatechick.

  I could watch her eat popsicles all day.

  i know that some people on the board have experience of being mormons, so i would be interested in your feedback.

  at church this afternoon it was an uncanny experience.

  in the past i've read a lot about mormons, so i thought i was prepared in general for what it would be like.

  I’ve said this before…

  JW elders TAUGHT to treat Higher Education as WRONG!

  in this jw training video, an elder gets deleted because his daughter has "stumbled" other jw's by pursuing higher education.

  🤣.

  Another example of blind faith’s blowback.

  All they saw were university graduates “leaving the Truth”, and reacted.

  They never anticipated that less educated people would become the lowest income earners, and therefore, the lowest monetary contributors…

  …and probably assumed Armageddon would arrive before it ever became real problem, anyway (not unlike the CSA issue).

  Vanderhoven - “Is JW.org going broke?”

  Constant reductions in staff and product output, liquidation of assets to meet expenses, and regular court losses-slash-settlements with no end in sight are not typically considered signs of robust financial health.

  In fact, I suspect revenue agencies relaxed the rules for keeping one’s “charity” status during Covid, which was why the WTS so readily hit pause on the door-to-door work…

  …their tax-exemption wasn’t at risk if they told the rank-and-file to stay home on Saturday mornings, but it may have been if they hadn’t.
