  Is WT Influencing Dubs To Check On Other Dubs' Activities Via ZOOM And Otherwise?

  by HiddlesWife in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the reason for my question is because one pimo has noticed that there are some pimis--particularly spimis--who have remarked that they "are not going to contact nor associate with the friends who are delinquent on zoom and/or at in-person kh meetings, conventions, and assemblies".

  i've noticed this as well: a few ppimis and pimqs who were very close to me and my exdub family members are hearing from them less and less lately than before last year's rc and this year's rc.

  so, is the above a thing nowadays?

  I thought the Jobots were always like that.

  Nothing will have changed, just the way they continue to be tribal and snobbish.

  The leaders of the WTBT$ have always enjoyed bullying.

  No surprises there.

  As some have mentioned, let us hope it will make many leave and not give their time, money or good to this paedophile's paradise corrupt organisation.

  Climate propaganda

  gotta love jwdotorg as usual regurgitating the financially/politically motivated (and thoroughly disproved) climate change propaganda:.

  It's making money and fame for grifters like the Thunbergs. Politicians can bring in 'green taxes' and other crap to drain us of funds and freedom.

  I really have no interest in the politics of America. Goodness knows, I find it hard enough to give 2 shiny shytes about the UK's political farces. why would I? It's all a farce and a joke. I won't be caught in this tribal diversion from living my life. Politics is not reality, it's a smokescreen of deceit for the politicians to get power, wealth and fame. Nothing more. It's contemptuous to the Nth degree.

  I disregard them all.

  Rates of PIMOs in bethel as apposed to R&F

  by joe134cd in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with all the bethel leaks.

  i started to think about the levels of pimos with in bethel as apposed to the rank and file.

  would there be higher rates of pimos bethel due to seeing the more unsavoury side of it.

  joe - evels of PIMOS

  We may never know. Life and the thought process are not black and white. There are shades and nuances in all cultures and walks of life. Bethel or not, there are hangers on and leavers. The unsure. The 'will keep holding on no matter what, brigade'.

  I suppose what I'm saying in a nutshell is, 'dunno.'

  "Jehovah God"

  by Jeffro in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the expression "jehovah god" has always seemed strange to me.

  even when i was a jw, i found the term awkward, and never used it myself.

  both words are nouns intended to be synonyms of each other, unless the name "jehovah" is being used as an adjective, which is also weird.

  jayhawk Silly people, God is Jehovah's last name.

  I thought his name was Harold. As in, 'Harold be thy name.'

  Random thoughts on the Jubilee in the UK

  by ballistic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  saluting the flag was something not encountered very often here in the 1970s uk, in fact that kind of nationalism or patriotism was something i'd been warned about as a young boy, being brought up in the jehovah's witnesses from age 4, through meetings and the publications.

  at some point, i don't know when, i decided it was more american, whether rightly or wrongly.. but even so, there was a large black and white photo of our entire school in panoramic format right outside my classroom on the wall saluting the flag, and i think this was the 1977 25 year jubilee of queen elizabeth ii.. now as a young person attending a fairly religious school in the 1970's, you were used to "making a stand" for things, letter in hand first day in a new class, and being ushered into one room or another to avoid religious assemblies and other xmas, and other seasonal celebrations.. one day the teachers, in their abundant wisdom, stood myself and a younger witness in the corridor right outside the assembly hall where the children would filter past.

  every second or third child that filtered past would ask, "why are you standing there?

  I am not really interested in all this pomp and ceremony.

  I am not a Monarchist nor Republican.

  It's all just tribal nonsense to me.

  The Jobots instilled in me a sense that all authority is shite.
