the situation is many of us are pima and all putting on a front, sometimes saying something we don’t fully believe.
or at least are actually agnostic about but a hope that it’s true.. but it can be useful if someone is really going through a hard time or has something they are very worried about, to say things like well let’s hope there is not much longer of this old system.. this can be useful in an awkward situation where you just don’t know what to do or say.
it’s a little bit of hope that can help when there is nothing else.. my agnosticism just means i won’t look back over decades thinking i wasted my life.
Looks like you're searching, ExBe
If you believe in evolution there is no possible hope at all everything is pointless and without purpose.
Perhaps there isn't one. Just because we want one, doesn't mean there has to be a point.
Just like there's no point being a JW(tm), it'll end in nothing.
that’s where I’m at. Better off PIMA than POMA or POMO.
Better than being any, just be yourself.
I'm POMN
Physically Out, Mentally Nihilist.
Our struggles are within our own head.
i saw this post on ex-jw reddit so i thought i'd bring here.
zoom service, what are your observations/opinions of it?.
XB - a group of JWs sitting around "writing letters"
I have heard of this.
............and they use all their own money because the Organisation(tm) won't pay for a single thing.
Well, what do you expect from a greedy, corrupt Corporation(tm) that pretends to be a religion to get money?

I don't go on Reddit or any other forums, so I won't see it.
I know what JW 'Ministry(tm)' is. I know what Zoom(tm) is.
I can't see it for '1st call(tm)' work(tm). I suppose it's a lazy option or useful to the cult if there is a fair distance between the 'householder(tm)' and the 'publisher(tm)'.
Door knocking has proven to bear poor results per hour, per victim dragged in to the cult. I can't see how Zoom would be any better. But at least you can sit there with no trousers on, I guess.
I can't quite envision it TBH.
we're you regular at the 3 meetings days watchtower hade?
i remember our was tuesday, thursdays and saturdays.
in reality it's crazy they hade so many meetings.
We're you regular at all the meetings?
Yes. It was hell.
the belief was jehovah/god is not the organisation when you are a member of the organisation .
when you disassociate or leave the organisation, the belief becomes jehovah/god is the organisation.
someone somewhere will tell you return to jehovah or hand you a publication that has the title return to jehovah.. .
The terms become whatever suit the corrupt agenda best.
It is, after all, just a big business pretending to be a religion to get power and money for the Governing Body(tm)(Pee be upon them).
The leaders must know it's not a religion but a business using a fake version of the Bible to kid the masses. They just must!

Vintage - I see from your avatar that you are a male person
I am indeed a geezer. 65 years a geezer this very month.
"I know that I can love again
So do I but I doubt I ever will. Especially not at my age, all the good matches in my age range are senile or have died already.
but I can never love with the same energy again."
I get that. The disgusting cult destroyed my ultimate trust in anything once I found out they were just a big con job. It was my world they destroyed.
So, I don't think Mrs Right exists anymore.
I'm reluctantly single but not seeking.
.........by police investigating the snp's missing £600,000.
(allegedly).
the police operation looks more like a murder scene!
JM - the real reason why the wee Krankie stepped down suddenly.
Tis what I thought.
I also think that some of these politicians are Teflon(tm) and can slime their way out of things. We will see.
As George Carlin said, 'It's a big club, and you ain't in it.'
this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.
this is not a joke.
anthony moron da turd is out as a gluttonous body member!
fuzzy -Elder, after I left to say to me, "I never viewed you as 100% a J.W" .
That's always their excuse.

Punkofnice, were you, at one time, a JW?
Raised in the disgusting cult. Pioneer(tm). Mini-man(tm). Elder(tm).
Those were the worst days of my life. Now I'm ancient of days. A totally wasted life.
the bible says, that those who say 'there is no god' are fools.. april fools day yesterday, showed that people can be fools for believing something that did not happen.
yet, the bible says that fools are those who refuse to believe that which is true.. god can still save fools.... feel free to watch the latest short message of hope:.
[drivel removed].
The Bible says, that those who say 'There is no God' are fools.
Well, it would say that wouldn't it.
Never use the book to prove the content of the book. All rather circular.
