is it okey to express your love for jesus as a jehovah's witness?.
it should be, even though it would lift some eyebrows in the congregation.
let's see what jesus said:.
Not since the governing body elevated themselves to a position higher than Jesus.
I'd go with this.
Too much 'Jesus' talk in the JW ranks and suspicion will abound.
.......and we can't have the Congregation Gossip(tm) (usually an Elder's wife who gets all the latest from him), turning her attention to a 'Jesus' lover.
hi everyone i’m a pimo elder ex bethelite and pioneer who has been having doubts for many years.
as of late i’ve come to have even more doubts mainly due to the gb pushing the vaccines and acting like salesman for big pharma companies .
i will never take these vaccines even if it meant i couldn’t go to the hall as was previously said but the gb have done a big u turn on this now.
there are many of us PIMO.....
'many' seems like a weasel word here. then they are in for a crash.
there are some great people and really good associations for my kids. We are all like a big family.
One word and you can decide how good they are: SHUNNING.
but I still feel it’s the closest to the truth than any other.
Now I know you're trolling us. that's too stupid to even respond to with anything much.
Its more beneficial for me to stay PIMO than to leave the cong. I have all the advantages of being in the cong, without the disadvantages of being disappointed in years to come when Armageddon still doesn’t come
You are either in a dream world or trolling. I can't decide which.
i was a twenty y/old when i converted to the jw religion and was a problem drinker and i was a chain smoker .when i was baptized at a circuit assembly a year later , my conversion and change in lifestyle was given as an example of the effectiveness of incidental witnessing to the audience.. so i can point to the 2 positives becoming a jw .. 1.i gave up smoking.
2.i gave up drinking for a while ,but because i still had association with my wife`s and my family who were not jw`s ,i learnt to control my social drinking when i started again.. and i have been a responsible drinker ever since ,even though i left the religion 29 years ago.. the negative points of being a jw in my 32 years of being one ?
are far too great to list here .. love to hear your thoughts..

I know. I go to Evensong most Sundays at Peterborough Cathedral. They installed a Canon this week so there was a few more than the usual bunch that I've got ton know.
I know Tamworth, it's quite a distance from here but you never know when I'll take you up on that.
what is the harm or downside of being pimo?.
i get all the good things about being in the cong, good social life lots of invites to bbqs and meals out.
lots of interesting gossip 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Sounds like a load of bollox to me.
.......a disabled black, non-binary, homosexual, transsexual, environmentalist vegan?
.
all bases need to be covered.
I don't care, I won't watch it anyway. I find it boring.
Dr Who? Chibnall finished it off. Not sure if RTD can save it now.

I like many many like all the good things about being in the congregation
Now I know you're trolling us!
not according to this verse:.
(mark 3:28, 29) truly i say to you that all things will be forgiven the sons of men, no matter what sins they commit and what blasphemies they speak.
but whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit has no forgiveness forever but is guilty of everlasting sin.”.
Armageddon will be the worst thing ever to hit this earth in the history of man.
I disagree. I think they mean Boy Bands will be the worst thing.
how far do we get away from 1914 before they have a new light and admit it was all wrong?.
they cling to the old theory of the 77 week prophecy from the wrong date that jerusalem was destroyed .
with the overlapping generations nonsense still we are getting too far away from 1914. what will they say if we get to the 2030s and they still cling to 1914?.
How far do we get away from 1914
Until the 'overlapping(tm)' stops.
forbid the universe for the mass suicide of many.
but with the no blood policy, the constant call to be loyal to the org no matter how looney it seems, just very dangerous to any normal thinking person.
or just crazy stupidity?.
Do you find Watchtower as Looney as Jim Jones?
It's not an easy comparison. I don't think there's a scale of 'looney' to refer to.
Jim Jones ended it fairly quickly-ish. The JW's are dragging it out.
I don't think the Jobots will ever have a mass suicide. Their lives are a mental suicide though.
the latest video release 4/4/22 (lesson 44 'don't give up') in the comic series of caleb & sophia just got weirder.
the plot is about caleb & sophia preaching door to door, caleb with his father and sophia with her mother.
it shows each of them having doors slammed on them four times.
namey - You thought that getting someone you know from school at the door was bad? Try getting one of your teachers at the door.
Both happened to me.
I felt like a right wally.
